Quite stir was made recently among
the Bird Club ladies by an invitation
from Mrs. David Trudo to "come up and
see the nest of an Upland Plover." The
four eggs, which were very compactly
laid on end in the nest as if placed there
by some very deft hand, were the size
of a small hens egg. 1t is said that it
was altogether very rare sight.

Miss Edith Barcombe. we'll known in
this place, met with very serious ac-
cident in Burlington last Sunday. She
was out riding with another young lady
when the harness broke and the horse ran
away, throwing them both out. Miss
Barcombe sustained severe injury to
her head, receiving cash from one eye
to the scalp, about six inches long. She
was taken to the Mary Fletcher hospital
and late reports from there are that there
are no internal injuries and that her re-
covery will be speedy.
Dolly" the old mare belonging to
Walter Strong, is no more. She "died
in the harness." last Friday while en-
gagged IN drawing feed from the depot
a vocation in which she has been engaged
for eighteen years. She fell, breaking
her shoulder and in order to put her out
of misery she was shot. 1t is not often
that horse common everyday work.
ing horse, receives an obituary, but in
this case she is entitled to one. She was
large horse and was brought here from
Boston by Fred Whiting of Johnson, of
whom she was bought by the late c. NJ.
Strong. For IS years she has been the
draught horse for the Strong establish
ment, putting in nearly all of her time in
drawing merchandise from the depot and
about the village. Dolly" was faith
full horse, minded her own affairs and
attended strictly to business, which is
more than some human beings do.
