HERALD OF FEB. %, 1873.
The one story building south of DR..
Palmer's house, kindly donated by
Hon. P. C. Mcclure of st. Cloud, to
the M. E. Society of this place for
parsonage, was moved across the lake
Sunday to their lots south of Mrs.
Grager's residence.
Notice-Parents, guardians and
others interested are invited to visit
the Sank Centre Union School any
time except on Friday. H. A. Boo
bar, Chairman Committee.
Lyman Decker of Grove Lake arriv-
ed home last week from Washington,
whittier he went to obtain patent on
a tanning mill which he has invented.
Several Of the mills are in operation
in this locality and are said to be SUI
perior to anything before produced.
The completion of the railroad to
Sank Centre early in the spring is con-
fidently looked forward to. Railroad
officials give positive assurance that
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, work will be commenced and
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
Gored by Cow-On Tuesday eve
ming of this week a son of Geo. w.
Saxbury about 10 years old, who lives
eight miles from this place, was sew
erely injured by being hooked by a
COW. His right arm was broken in two
places, and he received serious in
ternal injury from blow which the
cow gave him on his side.
The Bonds-Much to the regret of
the friends of the mill project the
proposition to issue the town bonds
to aid said enterprise, has run against
an unexpected snag in the shape of
Governor Austin. It is now deemed
certain he will veto the bill, which has
passed the Legislature, legalizing the
action of the people-if he gets a
chance. We understand, however, the
project is not to be abandoned.
Driving Park Association-A pre-
liminary meeting was held in the Of
flee of the Sank Centre House on Sat-
urdaw evening last to take initiatory
steps toward organizing driving park
association. Mr.. A. Moore offered to
give a lease of the necessary grounds
for ten years, not to exceed fifty dol
lars year. After discussing the mat
ter, the meeting appointed Messrs. O.
F. Carver, E. A. Parker, and J. M. Ap-
field committee to examine the
grounds and prepare a constitution
and bylaws, to report at an adjourn
ed meeting to be held at the office of
J. D. Carr, Esq, on Saturday evening
Dastardly Trick-Some contempti-
BILE scoundrels last week entered the
Sank Centre Nursery owned by Mr.
Robert White and cut about 60 trees
of the white poplar variety, which
were procured last year from Bur
lington, VT. Mr.. White has spent a
great deal of money and labor on his
place in getting trees and shrubbery
started and it does seem too bad tc
have the result Of patient care and toll
thus ruthlessly destroyed by such vag'
abonds. Every good citizen should
, feel an interest in bringing the rascals
to justice, as the future beauty of oul
town depends largely on the cultiva'
ton and protection of our shrubbery
Mr.. White desires us to say that he
will pay $500 to any one who will in
form him who cut the trees.
: The old Congregational church
never held larger, more intellectual
or more thoroughly appreciative audi
ence than that which assembled tt
hear the reading of Pickwick papers
by Prof. w. L. Watts, last Tuesday
3 evening. The splendid Evolutionary
and dramatic attainments of the read.
err held, for nearly two hours, the
large assemblage in constant state
of ebullition, if we may be permitted
the smile. Everybody says and every
body was there who could find place
to stand or sit, that the reading was a
: magnificent success.
While the reader paused to recover
! breath, music, like a spell, held the
audience entranced, as Miss Martins
| sweet, flute-like voice scared in those
realms of sweet sound.
Mrs. DR.. Palmer furnished the in
strumental accompaniment. Miss Mary
Tubbs will read the next Tuesday eve
ming. w. J. Whitefeld, Secretary.
