Town M Getting.

Not for years has the business OF
March Meeting been conducted so ex-
peditiously as on last Tuesday, final
adjournment being taken shortly after
four o'clock in the afternoon. j. ).
Sweeney's able performance of the
duties of Moderator very materially
aided this result. A few sharp tits en-.
liyened the various debates, and it is a
matter for regret that several persons
carried their differences to unseemly
extremes, both within and without the
meeting. Or. Z. F. Norcross earnestly
criticised the reports of several officers.
Among other things he censured the
purchase of real estate by the water
commissioners and the drawing OF
orders by the overseer OF the poor as
being illegal. 1t may fairly be ques-
toned whether the Doctor is not right
in some of his contentious.
Rev. DR.. Miller eloquently opposed
any reduction of the library appropria-
ton and received the enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the voters
After a long discussion and some bal
loting, it was voted to raise tax OF
81 SO, divided as follows: town schools
10, state school and highway Is, sup
port of poor 10, highway 25, other town
purposes 81.
This seems to be none too large tax,
not only that the town may make some
progress in paying its Indebtedness, as
was argued i'll the meeting, but for a
reason not brought forward in debate,
namely, that beginning with this year
the town will no longer have the use of
the profits of the water system for pay
ing current expenses as heretofore.
These profits now 60 into the hands
of the Trustees of the Water Bonds
Sinking Fund, under the act recently
passed by the Legislature. This legis-
Iation has put the town on a business
basis, and while there can be no mater.
ial reduction in the tax for a few years
we have stopped robbing Peter to pay
Paul and are now on sound financial
footing.
Despite the perfect weather cond
tons that prevailed, the vote on the Ii
cense question was comparatively small
Appearances, which were borne out by
results, indicated an active organization
of the license forces. The vote: yes
149; no, 10l.
Although balloting was occasionally
. resorted to, there was no real contest il
the election of officers, who are as fol
lows:

A Story of a Hundred Years Ago

While examining all old family Bible
recently, Converse Andrews found be-
tween its pages several clippings from
newspapers, Que of which, relating to an
exceptionally intense cold day over one
hundred years ago, aud the suffering it
caused, he has left at this office, and We
copy therefrom the following accounts {:
January 10, 1910 was day the in-
tense GOODNESS of which will long be re-
membered by those who experienced its
rigor. The evening previous was mild,
but 10 the night the wind changed and
the mercury in less than IL hours de-
cended to ID degrees below zero. A
boisterous wind prevailing by which
trees, and in some cases houses were
blown down, aud the day became MEM
orab.e in New England az The Cold
Friday" Here in Concord farmers piled
on the wood aud attended to their cat
tie, and that was aJUa, ~! .yr the day.
From Vol. V. OF the Nh. Historical
Collections, the following is taken of an
occurrence Oh that day in the town Of
Sauborntou
"On Friday morning, the 18th of Jan
uary, Mr.. jeremiah Ellsworth, of Sam
borutou, finding the cold very severe,
rose about an hour before sunrise. 1t
was hut short time before some part
of his house was burst in by the wind.
Being apprehensive that the whole house
would soon be demolished, aud that tn e
lives of the fami lv were in greatjeopardy
Mrs. E., with her youngest child, whom
she had dressed, went into the cellar,
leaving the other two children in bed.
Mr.. E. undertook to 60 to the nearest
neighbor, which was in the northern
direction for help, but the wind was so
strong against him that he found it i'm
practicable. He then set out for Mr..
David Browns, the nearest house in an
other direction, at the distance of one
fourth of a mile. He reached there
about sunrise, his feet considerably
frozen, and he so overcome by the cold,
that he aud Mr., b. thought it too haz-
ardous for him to return.-But Mr.. b.
went with his horse and sleigh with all
possible speed to save the woman and
her children from impending destruc-
ton. When he arrived at the house, he
found Mrs. +. and Que child in the eel
lar, aud the other children in bed, their
clothes having been blown away by the
wind, so that they could not be dressed.
Mr. B. put a bed into the sleigh, and
placed the three children upon it, aud
covered them with their bed-clothes.
Mrs. f. also got into the sleigh. They
had only gone six or eight rods before
the sleigh was blown over, and the
children, bed aud covering scattered by
the wind. Mrs. E. held the horse while
Mr.. B. collected the children and bed
and placed them in the sleigh again
She then concluded to walk, but before
she reached Mr.. BIS. she was so be
numbed by the cold that she sank dowr
to the ground finding it impossible tc
walk any further. At first she con
cluded she must perish but stimulated
by hope of escape she made another
effort by crawling on her hands ant
knees, in which manner she reached he
husband, but so altered in looks that HI
did not first know her. His anxiety TO
his children led him twice to conclude
to 60 to their assistance but the ear

Reinforcement of the Gar
rison at .Juarez.
(Amcrlcan News Service,

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb S.-Americans
are fighting in the ranks of the Mexi-
can insurrectos who are menacing the
city of Juarez. Under the banner of
General Orozco, the young revolution
ary leader, are a number of American
soldiers of fortune. The camp fires of
the rebel band winked from the hill
sides about the Mexican city of Juar-
ez all night and this morning before
dawn lights could be seen moving to
and fro as though the army was
breaking camp The federal sentries
at the outposts about Juarez were
strengthened after Col. Rabago. CON-
mandant of the Juarez forces. had
been apprised of the activity of the
rebels.
Rabago under cover of darkness
sent out scouts to ascertain the
strength of the rebel forces to learn
the whereabouts of the revolutionary
forces of Gen. Sanchez Blanco and
Col. Alanis and warn Gen. Navarro
against falling into trap 1t was
learned that Navarro's command
which is making forced marches to-
ward Juarez, has been strengthened
by 200 men. giving him 1000 in all.
A SkiIfuI Leader.
Col. Alanis. who is commanding a
rebel detachment is playing shrewd
military policy. Marching upon weak
ly garrisoned towns he hauls down
the Mexican flag and runs up the reb-
ell standard. hoping to draw off the
troops which are enroute toward
Juarez. --s- =.
In this manner. it is thought he can
keep Navarro's forces from reinforc-
ing Col. Rabago. Orozco with the aid
of the commands of Gen. Blanco and
Col. Sanchez can then storm the town.
Alanis is today in possession of the
town Of Ojinaga, which is near San Ig-
nato which he captured earlier in the
week.
