 Wild Chase For Wild Cows.
 With Fl. Goodrich as chief scout and J. J: DeMore, F. Main, l.. DeMore, John Lewis and Gus Soderlin as his licutcnants, a party of East Berlin residents spent Saturday on an expe- dition for the purpose of capturing two or three wild COWS, which have
  several months, since straylng away from their pasture.
 The regiment started the New Year right. for on the first day of 1915 tho members succeeded in capturing one of the bovincs. After locating the animal. she took flight as they closed in upon her, and managed to keep out of their clutches for several hours 1 Finally they drove the COW onto | sheet of ice near Gilberts house where she fell and was unable to re- i gain her feet before the pursuers came upon her.
 1 Mr. Goodrich is determined to re- 1 capture his cows and will continue ! the hunt until his efforts are re- wardcd.
 Schools Reopen.
 Not d soul was to be seen sl<at- 1 ing or sliding about town today. The ! hills and ponds were deserted by the i children who, quite reluctantly. 1 brushed the dust from their textbooks i tl,js morning and wcntled their weary 1 way back to school after d vacation of about a week and q half. The 1 th istuas vacation was over and with the prospect of n" more cX- tended vacations until Easter Time, Perlin's representation in Young ! merica presented rather doleful l aspect as it again submitted to the i bore of being educated.
 The teachers returned to town Sat 1 urdav and yesterday and it cannot truthfully he said that many of them looked forward to today.
