Charles II. Pratt, notice of whose death
appeared in the Brattleboro items last
week. was born in this village, the son OF
ASA and Hannah Miller Pratt and one OF
four children. Mr., Pratt had six children
by his second wife, who was Saunders
of this town. and two by his third wife,
Mrs. Mary Pratt, one OF whom, Noble
Pratt, has been a lifelong resident OF this
place. The life of Herbert Pratt, as he
was generally called, was splendid exam
pie of courage and cheerfuness, he having
supported himself for GO years without
being able to walk.
The prolonged scarcity OF water has been
the cause of great inconvenience to many,
and the continued cold weather of the past
two weeks has succeeded, in a number OF
places, in freezing water pipes so that peo-
pie who have had sufficient supply find
themselves dependent on some more fortu'
nate person, but these fortunate persons
are becoming fewer in number and the
situation will become alarming should the
cold weather continue without rain. AT
the present time it is a hard task for some
of the farmers to supply their stock with
the water they require.
