1t strain of indigo" that courses
in the veins Of his Boston terrier,
for which he has once been offered
5000, and he has had several offers
of 500 each for the animal. For the
father of this dog, Thomas Law
son, the we'll known Boston finan-
cier, paid $1,000, Mr. Cowles tells
us. This short legged dog is BOARD

A Grange committee wish it an

Ed. Martin, a nephew of Enoch
b. Martin, son of the late Minot
Martin, had a message by telephone
on Monday evening last from Wash
ington, saying that his uncle is Sc
riously i'll there at the home of his
daughter. The report that came
here Monday that he has pneumonia
was contradicted by the daughter
who says the trouble is one of the
kidneys and head. AS Mr.. Martin
is well along in the seventies as to
age it is feared that the case may
likely be a critical one.
Mrs. William Schofield is now
confined to her bed pretty closely.
She had been so that she could not
lie down comfortably much of the
time because of the difficulty of
breathing. A large senile ulcer is
added to her other ailments and she
suffers from great weakness. It
hardly looks now as if the fiftieth
anniversary of her marriage, that
will fall on May 16, can be celebrat-
ed as had been hoped for.
Last week Monday we wrote the
two items that follow:
We hardly recall morning dur
ing the past winter when we had on
more clothing than on last Monday
morning and we were only just
comfortable then. 1t is rather sur
prising to us that the weather con-
tinues so cold.
Will, son of the late Rice Daven-
port, is living in New Bedford,
Mass, where, we understand, ma
chinery of his own invention is be-
ing manufactured. His wife is said
to be a great worker in the Sunday
school field n that city.
They some how broke loose from
their companion-items and appear
ed among the items from Adamant,
not bad company" of course, for
them to be in. BY the way, some of
our far-away readers (old Will
liamstownians) may not know
that Adamant Gas we now heart it,
is a part of it, in East Montpelier,
and a part in Calais. 1t has been
known as "Sodom' we think, until a
fe wears ago; a name applied of
course, not to its moral geography,
but to the physical one. Granite,
we are told is quarred there, which
may be the reason for it's new name
of Adamant, rather than ny char
acteristics of it's citizens, knowing
we'll the varying moods of a news
paper reporter, we can easily guess
how he of Adamant felt on the APP
pearance of the last Waterman, to
find himself so suddenly in our own
winter wardrobe taking it for
granted that reporters wears mems
clothes). If he is tall man he
must have concluded that the gar
ments were cut after the patterns OF
bathing suits this year, as given by
New York papers, viz, cut low at
the top and high at the bottom
! Blu there's to the long life and
speedy dropping of the winter wear
! of the Adamant fellow correspond
ent, however he came by it.
We hear on this Tuesday morning
that Denny J. Briggs is able again
, to do some of his farm chores.
Mrs. Abby Simons Wales (daugh'
ter of the late Dana Simons) writes
from her Massachusetts home tina
she has recovered quite Target!
from the effects of the shock tina
she had a year or so ago, FAC
that her friends will be very gla'
to know.
1t is good to hear that Rev. R
