Although there has apparently been a
great deal Of sickness the past winter,
mostly of the type designated as the grip,
there have not been as many deaths as in
the winter of 1866, judging from the num-
Der of bodies in the receiving tomb. Last
year there were 45 at this time and now they
number about 20.
Winter dies hard. Tuesday afternoon a
pretty good imitation of blizzard set in,
the snow falling in small particles accom-
panied by high wind. The snow fall
continued during the night, some three or
four inches falling, and Wednesday morn
ing it was still showing with fierce wind
squalls. 1t was generally accepted as the
cline gale"

White has been sold to a Mr. Gonyea of
Brockton, Mass, and he and his family

been in possession of the White family for
three generations and is of considerable
historic value in this vicinity. 1t was here
that JOB White spent the greater part of
his life, inventing and perfecting ma
