MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Mortified Druggist Fined.

Alvin George, a Mortified druggist,
was found guilty Tuesday in the district
court in Greenfield upon a complaint
charging him with the illegal sale of
liquor. a fine of $50 was imposed, but
he took an appeal to the superior court
and furnished bonds in the sum of 800
for his appearance. The evidence intro
duced showed that he sold quart of
whisky to one Peter Klein at his drug
store on Wednesday of last week. Klein
testified that he was a deputy tax collec-
tor of the town of Natick and an agent
for the anti-saloon league He went to
Georges place for the purpose of buying
liquor, and succeeded in buying the quart
of whisky upon which the complaint was
based There was testimony from Rev.
n. Fay Smith and William W. Coe of
Northfield that before Klein went to the
defendants place of business they had
been to George and told him that it was
their belief that he was violating the law
and was offending the citizens of the
town by the course he pursued with re-
gard to the sale of liquor, 1t also ap-
peared that George held no license to sell
liquor, even upon prescription. The
commonwealth was represented by Sam
uel d. Conant and the defendant by
Philip H. Ball.

Scholarly Lecture on Dickens.

A very scholarly and instructive lecture
on Charles Dickens was given by Mrs.
Mary E. Bradley in Fays hall Tuesday
evening under the auspices of the Wo-
mans club. AS many friends of the club
as the hall would accommodate were in
vited to attend. Miss A. NJ. Barrows and
Mrs. f. S. Leonard were hostesses. The
English national anthem, God save the
King" with variations, by Mrs. Belle
Cate. Miss NJ. NJ Todd, vice president,
in a very pleasing way welcomed the
guests and introduced the president, Mrs
Bradley as the speaker of the evening.
The lecture was one which Mrs. Bradley
had delivered before other womens clubs.
She held the close attention of the large
audience. She showed a wide reading
of Dickens's work and intimate acquaint-
ance with them and had the faculty of
giving her hearers a very vivid picture
of Dickens's works and intimate acauaint-
the home of his childhood with a father
of the type described in the character
of Micawber in David Copperfield were
dwelt upon, and his early inclinati ton
toward literary work, his rapid develop
ment, his marvellous descriptive power,
his efforts to describe and therby correct
many of the evils in the England of his
day were also shown. AS an example of
his poetry she read "A Word in Season"
and Mrs Cate sang his poem, THE Ivy
Green. His diversity of attachments, not
only as novelist and poet, but also as hu-
morist, actor and nurse, We're carefully
shown. AT the close she gave an excel
lent review of the Tale of Two Cities"
The program closed with a song charm
ingly rendered by Mrs. Cate entitled,
Little Blossom" referring to David
Copperfield's child wife.

Aged Resident of North Hinsdale Fell
Head First into a Small Brook Near
His Home Wednesday.
The community was shocked Wednes-
day night to learn of the accidental
drowning of Jacob Barrett, a citizen of
this town, 10 years of age, residing at
North Hinsdale. He and his wife lived
alone near the Plain schoolhouse, with
no very near neighbors, the wife having
been i'll in bed for some time with an
incurabe malady. Mr.. Barrett left the
house about o'clock in the afternoon
to water his stock in the barn across
the road. He did not return and about
6 o'clock his wife, becoming alarmed
managed to get to the door and shout.
neighbor, Fred Butler, hearing the
call, came to her assistance. Searching
the barn he found no one He then went
to a small brook nearby, where Mr..
Barrett was accustomed to get water
for use at the barn. A small bridge was
built over the stream and Mr.. Barrett
was found under this. He had appar-
emily reached down to fill pail, Slip
ped and fallen in, as he was found lying
face down in about eight inches of
water with one hand grasping the pail.
A mark on the temple showed that he
had probably been stunned when he fell.
The selectmen viewed the body later in
the evening.
Mr.. Barrett was a member of Com
pany A. 14th New Hampshire regiment.
He was twice married, his first wife be-
ing Ella Nora Streeter. Six children
were born to them, all of whom are liv-
ing. One son, Frank Barrett, is a con-
tractor in Randolph, VT, three sons,
John, Grant and Dwight are living in
Hartland, VT, one daughter, Mrs. George
Gill lives in Winchester. A second
daughter, Mrs. Eta Streeter, was re-
Gently married, and about two weeks
ago went to Florida. After the death
of his first wife, Mr.. Barrett married
Hattie Miner, who survives.
