connection with the institution the 18th
of March and will be succeeded by Mrs.
George Dwyer, whose husband has been

family of A. B. Tew ksbury.
The Edison store and grain business
will continue for the present in charge of
Charles f. Stevens, who has conducted
the grocery department mostly of late.

d. E. Cooling of Maiden, Mass, was in
Randolph briefly Saturday on his return
had taken the remains of his mother, Mrs.
Rose Snow, the previous day for burial.
Mrs. Snow, who would have been 80
in May, fell less than month ago as she
was going home from a call on a neighbor
in Maiden and fractured hip, besides
breaking one arm in two places. In
spite of ber age, the bones knit so rapidly
that Tuesday of last week she walked
down stairs from her chamber, but on
going back at 8 O'Clock in the efterBeeal
she suffered hemorrhage of the brain
and only lived an hour. Besides Mr..
Goding, with whom she made her home,
and for some time in Randolph, Mrs.
Snow left another son, Blake Snow of
Sharon.
VIM. s. Teachout has sold his hardware
store at Essex Junction. He is reported
to be financially embarrassed and his at
torneys are offering his creditors 49c. on
the dollar. Mr.. Teachout was the con-
tractor here for the canning factory and
Music hall buildings, constructed of con-
crete, and for the installation of the vii
lage sewerage system, which work is now
nearly completed. The trustees have
withheld enough of the contract price to
secure the village against loss in case of
default, and as Mr.. Teachout has good
bonds up he is likely TO complete the job
in the spring, as planned. There are few
local creditors, large amount OF Ran
dolph debts having been collected OF him
recently. Mr.. Teachout, it is said,
dropped quite sum in the Music hall
job, and probably will be loser on the
sewerage contract.
There continues to be great mortality
among the pet and other stock in this vi
crazy Marsh dog from Bethel during its
recent memorable visitto this borough.
ID. II. Morse's calf that was bitten began
to below Friday night in anguished
tones and the next morning was found in
pitiable condition, shaking and drooling.
1t was put out of misery at once, and Mr..
Morse decided to take no chances with
his big st. Bernard, which fought one
round with the stranger and received a
bite in the lip, so that, too, was killed.
The dogs of II. f. Sharpe, S. G. Earring
ton and George Lane, all sick of the
bites, have been killed, bringing the to-
tai number slain up to six so far. The
dogs of w. B. Wall, Mrs. Susan Ga
brielle, J. j. Trerise and Hale l.. Flint,
also wounded, have gone into retirement
to await developments. The report from
the state laboratory states that the brain
of the Bethel dog showed under the mi
croscope no sign of rabies but two rab-
bits, inocuiated with serum from the
dogs head, died in great agony. The
head of Mr.. Morse's calf has been sent
to Burlington for test, and the same
experiment with a rabbit gave the same
result. Director Stone of the laboratory
advised, as measure of precaution, that
the remaining bitten animals be killed,
and accordingly the selectmen bave noti-
fled the owners that this must be done at
once.
