SINGLE STONE A BRIDGE.
Fourteen Feet Lcng and Has Spanned
 Mowry's Brook for 75 Years.

One of the most remarkable stones known hereabouts may be seen up East Killingly way. It is remarkable because of it's size. It serves as a bridge over Mowry's brook and is large enough to fulfil that purpose without other material except supports. The stone is fourteen feet in length, about seven feet in width and fourteen in- ches thick. It stretches across the full width of the country road that crosses the brook, and has held up the travel over 1t for probably more than 75 years.
 According to old residents in that part of the town, the big stone was found in the country near where 1t is now in use and was pulled on rollers to It's present position by several yoke of oxen. The stone weighs several tons.

The Raymond (Canterbury) district school affair has been aInicably set- tied and the school reopened Wednes- day.
 At a joint meeting of the members Of the town school board and the mem bers of the board of selectmen of Can- terbury held Tuesday the issues in the case were cleared away. Miss Felicia c.

 The members of both official boards of the town represented at the meet ing took up the matter in a spirit of fairness. and an agreement was soon reached satisfactory to those interest ed.
 The teacher now in the North So- ciety district of the town is to teach in the Raymond district school. and Miss Terry is to teach in the North Society district. This arrangement is to hold until Christmas in order to per- init Miss Terry to learn how she likes the school and the people there like her. After Christmas Miss Terry and the school board will decide as to whether she will teach longer.
