The Mother of a Veteran.

There are in the country few surviv-
ors of mothers of boys who fought for
the Union in the civil war, but they are
rarely to be found. Mrs. Harriet Rip
ley, who died in Paris on the 25th of
October, was the mother of two sons
who were in the Union army, one of
whom did not return.
Mrs. Ripley was the daughter OF Will
liam and Patience (Tripp) Warren, and
was born March u, 1922, on the farm in
Paris where she died. She married
George W. Ripley, and for two years
after their marriage they lived on Paris
Hill. They then settled on the Warren
place, and except for the two years on
Paris Hill, Mrs. Ripley spent all of her
50 years on the farm where she was born.
George W. Ripley died in 1907, at the
age of 50. They had eleven children, of
whom four are now living: George
Kendall Ripley of South Paris, Mrs.
Olive K. Downs of Newark, N. j., Mrs.
Mary E. Howe of Paris, and James D.
Ripley of North Paris. OF the other
children, some died in early life and
others lived to maturity. One son, Will
liam Wallace, was killed at Chancellors-
vile. There are also living seventeen
grandchildren and thirteen great-grand-
children.
The funeral of Mrs. Ripley on Satur-
day, the 2Sth, was attended by Rev. j.
II. Little of Bethel, and burial was in
the cemetery in the Partridge district.

man, Humphrey Bridges. Several hours
walk from camp brought him in sight OF

Creeping six or seven rods he saw the
supposed stump moving slightly, and
then, large tongue Hopping alongside

moose. He aimed for the neck of the
animal, and fired. The moose rose to
his feet and ran. When Bridges reached
the spot where the animal had lain he
found blood all about. He sat down,
filled his pipe, and reasoned that the
moose could not last over an hour bleed

chase. He therefore walked slowly on,
keeping close to the trail, and found the
moose lying down in lumber road

Mr.. Favor was born on Jan. 1, 1S4l, at

The Eryeburx Quadrangle.

The engraving OF the new Governments
topographic map of the Fryeburg quad
rangle surveyed In cooperation with the
state has just been completed by the
United States Geological survey at
Washington, and the map Is available
for distribution. This map represents
by far the most complete survey ever
made of this section of the state. 1t
shows 90 clearly every physical feature
Of the country covered thas the GUAR
acter Of any part OF the quadrangle, as
we'll az the shapes and areas OF the bills
and valleys, can be seen at a glance.
The elevation of any particular point IN
the entire area can be easily determined.
This relief of the country Is graphically
shown By means of brown contour lines,
each one of which represents a certain
elevation above the sea, that is, the trav-
eler following the course shown by one
of these contour lines will go neither up
hill nor down hill, but on level. The
elevation indicated by every fifth line Is
shown by figures on the map, and it Is
interesting to determine the heights OF
different points, by simply counting the
contours up or down from one OF the
marked lines. 1t is easy to understand
how such map is of prime value to the
engineer who may be laying out rail-
road or trolley route, highway, drain
age or irrigation system, In fact, any
piece Of engineering work. The water
features of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
lakes, etc.-are shown in blue, with the
same exactness OF outline as the land
features. In addition to the topography,
the map shows, in black, all the works
of main roads, principal bridges, towns,
houses, etc.
The topographic mapping done by the
Geological survey represents the highest
type of geographic work, and the maps
show substantially everything as it Ia on
the ground at the time of survey. In
making the survey of this particular
area, the topographers tramped over
practically every portion of the quad
rangle, hundreds of miles being thus
covered. Permanent iron bench marks,
exact elevations, were also set
at various points in the quadrangle. The
location of these marks is indicated &C.
curately on the map, and they can be
used for all time as the basis for any
further elevation surveys desired. This
sort of map-making is very different
from that of constructing
an average geographical map, which is
generally matter of mere approxima-
ton and compilation. Everything on
The Geological survey topographic sheet
is exact and true to nature.
