ct the library. In Grange ball, across the
road, there was gathering of townspeo'

OF Dean johnson at Colchester July
found a box containing a small skeleton.
The skeleton Is that of q child about three
years old. All but one of the bones are
present, as are the teeth and hair. The
finding OF the skeleton unwound q long
story. Four years ago Dean johnson
found the same box and skeleton and no.
titled his wife. He showed the box back
under the barn floor, thinking that some
person had placed II there from an adj
joining cemetery. Further investigation
showed that 80 years ago Frank Gonyea,
who purchased farm near Johnson, OBJ
jected to the presence OF a grave and
caused the removal of a body. II was also
discovered that an infant had been buried
near there in 1885. Whether the skele-
ton is that OF the child buried in 1885 or
of more recent date is unknown.

Although the census OF Vershire has
been taken the inhabitants there are no
nearer knowing how many souls there are
in the town than they we're several
months ago. Angus X. MacAuley was
the enumeration and in a fire that occurred
July ~ on a stock farm in Barre the
records for Versbire went up in smoke.
Mr.. MaeAuley barely escaped with his
life so he isn't worrying much about the
other losses. He had taken the schedules
to the farm for corrections. The work of
recommending will be begun at once.
state Supervisor L. NJ. Hays thinks that
this accident will occasion no delay. The
work OF examining the work OF the
enumerators will probably be finished
this month. Mr.. Hays has received some
kicks from people who thought that they
had not been enumerated, but inyestigs-
tion showed that their names were all
down in black and white. There we're 30
such kicks from ST. Adams, but all OF the
names were found on different schedules.
There was only one protest from Burling-
ton and the PERSONS name was also
found.
