Great Barn Christening.

1t has been many years since new
barn has been given such a christen-
ing as that which took place at the
East View stock farm in West Glover
on Friday night, July l, the occasion
being barn party on the estate of
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl w. Bean. This
large structure is 124 feet long by 46
feet wide with 26-foot covered drive
way and equipped to house 40 head
of cattle and six horses. The barn
cellar is fitted for the storage of all
sorts of farm wagons and farming
implements. On the second floor are
situated the cattle and horse stalls.
Behind the cattle and horses is a
driveway, wide enough for a team to
be driven through for cleaning pur-
poses. The hay bays will hold $50
tons, and finely constructed silo has
capacity of 100 tons. Friends for
miles around were very much in evil
dence, and as host and hostess, Mr..
and Mrs. Bean did every honor of the
occasion. The Glover orchestra of
six pieces, Roy S. Christie leader,
furnished fine music on a temporary
platform constructed at one side of
the barn. The building was hand
somely decorated with national colors
and japanese lanterns, and present
ed an excellent appearance. Over
one hundred couples, including friends
from Glover, West Glover, South
Glover, Barton, Orleans, Albany and
Sheffield were present, and also Mrs.
Alexander Dwyer of Lexington,
Mass and Herbert T. Jenness of
Boston, Mass. Nothing occurred
to mar the occasion in any re-
spect, and all who attended were loud
in their praise of the well-known
hospitality extended by Mr.. and
Mrs. Bean. Mr.. Lang, father of
Mrs. Bean and Mrs. Dwyer, was pres
ent and entered into the festivities
with youthful vigor, which was enjoyed
by all present. C. P. Bean, one OF
the trustees of the village, and father
of the host was present and ably as
sisted in the general merrymaking.
During the evening lemonade ano
bountiful lunches were served by the
ladies present. 1t has been long
time since more enjoyable party was
collected and all who attended will re-
member the event for time to come

Still Talk Runaway Pond.

In the course of letter to the ST.
Johnsbury Caledonian Barton Works,
Of Santa Cruz, CAL, says:
Il noticed in the Caledonian not long
ago that some of the Orleans county
people made note of the hundredth
anniversary of the skiddooing Of Runa-
way Pond in Glover. My father,
James Works, saw and heard the ava
lanche of mud and water as it came
down the valley. He said it was the
greatest sight of his life. Great
hardwood trees torn up by the roots
went tumbling end over end in the
torrent. But he said in this hilly
country it was pity so much good
level land should be ruined by all the
mud and rocks and trees. He came
to Waterford in 1876. which he called
the year without a summer; said he
worked on the highway with an over
coat and mittens On corn went up to
three dollars a bushel. He said he
guessed it was pretty nipping times for
a good many people that winter.
MANY long years after that | wrote
nv name on the hotel register at
Stanstead, P @. The landlord looked
at me and said Are you James Works
son, and are you the little white
haired boy that used to come out and
pick up the Caledonian when l blew
the horn? My name he said, is
Russell. and I drove the stage from
Danville to Littleton and threw out
the papers along the route. s"
BY the way kind readers, have you
got that copy of the beautiful souve-
mir of the celebration Of the Tooth
anniversary of the event that the Mon
itor is mailing for 25 cents? 1t is still
having a large sale.

Former Principal of Institute Heard
From.

Mr.. Editor:
! am sure there are number of your
subscribers who were pupils at the
Glover Institute when Professor Isaac
A. Parker was at it's head, and I have
no doubt they will all be pleased to
read the following excerpt from a
letter received from him dated June 5,
1910:
81 am still living in the house in
which have lived forty-seven years.
488 Lombard street, Galesburg, Ill.
| am eighty-four years old, and as
would be expected, am losing my
strength. | became quite deaf and
gave up my work in the college in 1908,
after fifty years service. l now have
no business. My son is the only one
of my family left me. He is chief
engineer of the st. Joseph and Rock
Island railway, and has his office in
st. Joseph, Missouri. ,"
The signature, Isaac A. Parker
is written with as firm hand as any
young man possesses. The body of the
letter is typewriter, but / am sure
by himself.
Very sincerely yours,
Trufax.

Uncollared Dogs Nav Be Killed.

M. R. Maurice, states attorney of
Lamoille county, makes the following
statement in a Morrisville paper. Il
have been asked by the selectmen of
several towns to call the attention of
the people to the law regarding the
killing of dogs not properly licensed
and collared. P. S. sec. 5623, requires
each dog to be licensed and to wear
collar distinctly marked with the name
of the owner or keeper. and its regis
tered number. The constable of each
town is directed by his warrant to
kill all dogs not SO licensed and COL
Jared, and he is bound by law under a
heavy penalty to execute this warrant.
Tie Supreme court in recent deci-
sion has held that dog not so licensed
and collared is not entitled to the pro-
lection of the law, and that the collar
was as ESSENTIAL as the license. Any per-
son may kill dog not so licensed and
collared without a warrant. This
may pot have been generally under
stood, and l am calling the attention
of your readers to this so that any
dog owners may have opportunity to
comply with the law.

An exciting runaway took place on
Friday when the team of Edward Tay-

Though on the load and having firm
grip on the lines Mr.. Taylor was unable
to control the team. The corner into
the square by Seayer's store was
made at breakneck speed but the next
corner on church street could not
be made and the team took for the
Batchelder horse shed. There are but
two stalls here and one of these was
| occupied. The team took the empty
side at full speed but one corner OF
the rack hit the corner of the shed,
checking the speed of the team
enough so the horses were not crushed
as they otherwise would have been.
Mr.. Taylor was not injured. Luckily
| Mr.. Batchelder's automobile was not
occupying the spot in front of the
shed where the team took its course.
else there would have been more to
say.
