 Miss Louise Burnham and friend, Miss Oldham, of Southbridge, were at her cottage for a few days the past week.
 The many friends of Mrs. Tyler will be pleased to know she is very much improved from the complicated illness she has had through the past winter.
 A line has been received from Miss Winnifred Newell saying she is much improved from her recent fall. She is living with her uncle, H. c. Newell, and is attending school in Springfield.
 l.. M Reed returned from Hartford last week with new driving horse MT. Reed has missed only two weeks from his seat in the legislature. His absence then was due to illness, bad weather and snow drifts.
 Union fulfilled expectations when it subscribed $2,O0O over it's quota of $4500 on the Victory Loan drive. The ladies' committee in charge were Miss Myrtle Davidson, chairman, Mrs. Ella c. Barrows, Mrs. H. R. Howard, Mrs A. G. Knowles and Mrs. George Heck The men were H. R. Howard, chair man, A. G. Knowles, c. A. Proulx and Samuel Heck. In districts the amounts subscribed were as follows: East, $1OO; south, $2,65O; north, $3,- 25O; west, $450. There were thirty subscribers. The two helmets will be awarded at the meeting of the entire committee.
 The summer cottage owned by Judge H. B Back, situated on the shore of Alexander Lake, Danielson, was burned Thursday night, May l. The house was insured for $500 and furniture at $500. This will not cover his loss Included in his loss are an tiques of much interest and great his toric value. A desk that was made of material hewed from the woods of Union in 1770 by members of the New ell family. Another piece of antique furniture was a curly maple dining room table made 179 years ago. These and many other such valuable pieces make the loss by fire heavier than mere money values show.

Mystery Port.

A mystery port on the east coast of England was one of the wonders of the war Its name is now revealed as Peterborough, near Sandwich. Here there is a wide stretch of marshland surrounding the mouth of the River Stour, and upon this has been built a town covering considerably over two thousand acres. From this place one and a quarter tons of stores have been sent to the western front alone. This great new port is just outside Sand wich, one of the old Cinque ports fla nous in the days of Queen Elizabeth. The ancient town, where a few years ago the grass was growing in the streets has taken on a new lease of life
