Last fall, some children calling
with their parents on Mrs. Boyer,
in child fashion took from table
a valuable gold watch that Mrs. Boy
er had given to her son, Andrew
Luchini, upon his graduation. The
watch had caught their eye, but
after they had taken it, they felt
guilty. Then, in child fashion again,
they dropped it in a drain at the
old Osgood stable, to get rid of it.
A few weeks ago the drain was dug
I'D and the watch was found. It's
beauty was not impaired by three
or four months in the drain, but its
serviceability was. 1t was sent back
to the factory, and few days ago
was returned as good as new.
