rests ON q solid cement foundation, and
every 10 feet has cement posts 10 inches
square with corner posts Il inches square.
It is to have q curtain wan three feet
high and the rest Of the enclosure will be
glass to give the utmost amount OF light
for manufacturing purposes.
The septic condition of Gibson Grains
right hand and arm, which seemed for
time to be improving, grew so much
worse that he was taken to the sanatori-
um and the arm removed between the ell
bow and the shoulder. DR.. G. J. Rum
rill was the surgeon, and the patient
stood the amputation remarkably well.
He has been gaining since the operation,
and the wound at its first dressing had
every appearance of healthy healing.
Hayden Gaylord went to Boston Friday
to make arrangements for his annual ship
ment Of Thanksgiving poultry, destined,
according to the presidents proclama-
ton, to grace the festive boards Thurs
day, the 26th inst. The long-continued
summer drouth, which dried up the
farmers pastures and water supplies, Was
simply ideal weather for his young tur-
keys, who have waxed fat and well-liking
and more numerous than last year. They
are now about ready to appear in market
adorned with a necklace OF cranberries.
This giving Of thanks is hard on the tur-
key but its place at banquets could be adj
equately filled, even in Boston, by dish
Of baked beans.
Another barrel OF apples has been pre-
scented to the sanatorium and q further
Open House day favor is the canceling Of
a grain bill amounting to 1886. Indi-
viduaIly made, the gifts to the sanatori-
um are very generous, the support cor
dial; but there is food for thought in the
action OF the Woodstock churches. which
have just made a Joint donation of
s505. II to the Mary Hitchcock hospital
in Hanover, N. H., the largest contFibu-
tion from any one church being s24e.36,
and the smallest $3.50. As an object OF
missionary philanthropy, hospital with
in reach would seem to be quite as inspir-
ing rs some educational or eleemosynary
institution a hundred or more miles
away. While not forgetting the heather
and their chronic wardrobe deficiencies,
there-might be some satisfaction in set
ting q few stitches into sheets and pillow
cases, napkins. towels and bed robes for
the house Of the sick at home.
AS this seems to be season Of village
improvements, attention Is called to the
south side Of the Tewksbury block. from
whose steep roof avalanches Of snow will
shortly slide OF, threatening to bury
alive the passersby on the sidewalk and
the row Of teams hitched just beyond.
Although 1t has never vet been necessary
to dig anybody out Of the snowfall or to
keep pack of st. Bernard dogs to rescue
citizens temporarily lost to view under
the caves Of the Tewksbury stores, II is
far from reassuring to hear q little rum
BILE, and, looking up, see q solid wall Of
snow about to descend on the just and on
the unjust as impartially Is rain. II no
lives have been lost, certainly none have
been lengthensd, by the experience. In
Woodstock, where similar trouble has
been caused BY the jail building, q sup
Elementary roof has been laid above the
other in the hope that circulation Of air
between the upper and lower coverings
will prevent such avalanches in the fu-
ture.
Complaint having been made against
Sherman Godfrey on the charge Of intox-
ication, Deputy Sheriff d. ID. Howe and
Chief OF Police F. A. Ketchum went to
the Godfrey farm last Thursday morning
and arrested him. He was arraigned be-
fore Justice II. W. Mcintyre and. plead
ing guilty 70 = frst oIense, was fined s5
and costs, which he paid. The officers
also found ]. w. Adshade OF Wilder at
the Godfrey farm in an advanced stage Of
inebriation and removed him to the lock-
up. He was given a hearing Thursday
afternoon and as his oflenses OF this ma
ture are 80 numerous that il is hard to
keep track of them, he could be called
upon to disclose his SQUIRE Of supply. He
refused to divulge anything, however,
and was remanded to the lookup for an
other day Of quiet meditation. Saturday
morning he avowed that he was RESPONSE
Bile for the furnishing in his case mas
much as he had helped himself to the
Godfrey refreshments when their owner
was out OF the house. AS he persisted in
this view of the situation, be was taken
to Chelsea by Sheriff Howe to serve 3 sen
tence Of 80 days.
