VICTOR oHAPDELAINE IS
 PUTNAAPs NEW MAYOR (Snao;Al tr u1ba Y9,,IlAtinN

Especial to The Bulletin)
 Putnam, Nov 17.-Eictor Chapde- l laine, Putnans new mayor, is one of 1 the oldest residents of this city in point l cf years spent here. Mayor Chapdelaine, ] the common councils selection as a sue cessor to Mayor Archibald Macdonald, who has retired after having been ap- pointed postmaster, has been the alder man-at-large under Mayor Macdonald and during the months he has been in office has displayed the same accunnen in transaeting city business as' made him successful as an individual.
 Mayor Chapdelaine was born at St. Ours( P. e., December 3, 1854, and the first dozen years Of his life were spent in that community. He came to Put nam with his parents soon after the close of the Civil war, arriving here in 1866 and he always since has eonsid- cred it his home, though he spent a | few years in Worcester and Grafton. At the time of Mayor Chapdelaine's arrival here as a boy there were very few French Canadian families in what is now, the city of Putnam, whereas to- day approximately half the population of | the city is of that nationality. Familiar with Putnam from the days when it was little more than 8 struggling village, personally known to thousands of the city's citizens, his business ability and in- tesrity respected, Mayor Chapdelaine is | in position to successfully direct the city government, and on Friday he ex- pressed his most. earnest desire of doing Il so.
 l He has the confidence of the common council and is assured Of the cooperation of its members in administering the city S II affairs. He is the first FRench-speaking Il mayor of Putnam and his compariots
 are proud of the fact that he has been i, selected as executive head of the city government.
 Mayor Chapdelaine is a new conner in the political field, his first candidacy fol city office being in the biennial cleo
 tton last December, when he was elected
 alderman at-large as a republican. His
 selection as mayor follows persistent
 urging upon the part of his fellow mem , bers of the common council. He did not } Eeeek the appointment and rather drew } away from the suggestion that he accep' si the post when the matter was first dis ! cussed, but finally acceded. Mayol f Chapde1aine received many congratula . tions during Friday and the best wishe! . of all for an administration favorable tt F the city and the political party he rep . resentR

that off the South light during . recent blow, countless thousands of robins were seen crossing the point and being carried out to sea In this connection those who have taken notes here are of the opinion that 8 large number of the robins in this section stay all winter in the two big cedar swamps above the town. These swamps are full of low cedars and dwarf ed naples. draped with trailing mosses. Here the water never freezes, and many local hunters during mid-year visits in search of partridge or quail, have never failed to see plenty of plump sleek robins fitting about among the trees.
