East Brownfield.

1t is with much regret that the citizens,
especially the older ones, are witnessing
the removal of the old Congregational
church at Brownfeld Center. This old
landmark, after the completion of the
new church, was used many years as a
school house, therefore its destruction
creates feeling of sadness in both young
and old as they think of the sacred as
sociations connected with it, and it il
generally wished that it might have been
preserved.

Mrs. A. G. Bean and son Perry spent
Sunday in Oxford visiting her sister,
Mrs. A. N. French, and her uncle, John
Pingree.
One day last week we had some queer
things happen. A. &. Bean drove his
COWS into the barn as usual, but by some
means forgot to hitch one of them, and
on going into the barn the next morning
he discovered that one of them was
missing. On looking around he found
that she had helped herself to all the
green fodder corn she wished, and then
apparently began to look for good
clean bed, which she found by jumping
down three feet into the ice house, and
lying down on the sawdust to cool off.
At first her owner was at loss as to the
best way to get her out, but soon decid.
ed to build bridge which she seemed
more than pleased to walk over to liberty.
After he had landed her safely in the
pasture he invited friend to look at his
garden with him, and declared that some
creature had visited there some time
since his last visit, but got no clue as to
who had committed the depredations
and taken one of his best cabbages. But
the next afternoon person was passing
house that was supposed to be vacant,
and was surprised to see cow looking
out at the window, and notified the
owner, who went to investigate and
found his lost cow that he had spent the
day in search of. To all appearance the
COW had got out of the pasture in the
night and stolen a cabbage from neigh
Dor, and like some people tried to hide
her sins by secreting herself, and gone
into this house, and by some unknown
means shut herself in by closing the
door.
z. G. Deininger, who has supplied the
