sible for d horse to get foothold there and is considered a treac cherOuS spot for horses. At the time the road was in the process of building a large tar truck which was spreading tar on the road burst one of the supply pipes, spreading the tar, causing the hot tar to pour in mass in the cen ter of. the street. This mass was never removed, but was allowed to cool, and that particular spot has become as hard as rock, so that a horse cannot get any foothOld on it.
 Farmers Worried.
 The continued rain of the last sev- eral days is causing much Worriment among the farmers, who fear that the potatoes will rot in the ground unless there is letup. This sort of weather was experienced several years ago and many bushels of potatoes rotted I'll the ground. If the sun should come out extremely hot, potatoes would almost be sure to rot, as the earth steams them, causing them to decay.
 Tree Is Put Upright
 The maple tree in front of the resi- dence of Francis Deming has been put upright by laborers sent down by the Stanley Works. Several weeks ago one of the Stanley Works large trucks ran into the maple tree, pushing it over at an angle. The tree has re- mained this way until very recently the Stanley people propped it up And wired it to another tree so that it .vill go in the straight and narrow path in the future.
 Going After Bride
 E. Martino, the popular night bag gage master at the Berlin depot has left for New York to meet a steamer from Italy which is to bring the girl who is to be his wife. He has been waiting for many years until he could make enough money to marry, and now the long wait is ended. MT. Mar tinO went to New York over a month ago to make arrangements so that he could be married as soon as his sweet ,.~art arrived on this side He did not know this morning that his bride to be would not land in New York but will land at Newport, R. l., as the steamer took the Newfoundland route instead A telegram has been despatched to him from here advising him of what has happened, and if he does not receive it. there will be long wait at the pier for the boat that will never come in.
 His sweetheart will probably be at d loss when she comes into Newport and no one is there to meet her. If no answer is received from Mr. Mar tlno today, some one will try to get m touch with the girl so that she will not be alone in a strange country.
