some manner he was caught by stick
of wood and pulled into a chute used for
sliding wood. After sliding 40 feet, he
took drop of six feet headforemost

ear almost torn from his head. 1t took
ten stitches to replace the member. Mr..
Bennett was formerly a resident of
Barre, residing at 10 Upland avenue,
Charles Mills of Orange, Barre bust |
ness visitor to-day, told of unusual hard |
ships in reaching market, and all be- |
cause the weather man had decreed that |
neither sleighing nor wheeling shall pre- |
vail in the hinterlands. As far west as
East Barre, Mr.. Mills travelled on run
ners, but circumstances compelled him |
to exchange his pung for light carriage
and the remainder of the distance was
traversed on wheels. Orange farmers
find themselves waist deep in snow
whenever they enter the sugar woods
and the maple industry, for the time
being, is practically at standstill in
that town.

he questions which the majority of eli I
'ilians between the ages of Is and 45
lave answered in the negative. Before c
dining the Barre fire department John a
on resided in Danville, near Joe's pond, q
mt some time ere that he was enlisted
n Canadian signal corps and there !
aimed a working knowledge of the wire 9
ess. He is familiar with the Morse tele-
raph code and the continental code.

ONE streets in Barre have been ikened d

ions that the owners of the dogs are
ware of what is expected of them at
his season, as many little metal tags

omewhere around $50 dogs were regis .
ered in Barre last year, and If the de.
land for license tags continues until
fonday, most of the pets will be safe
