axy of sunshine and flowers and
then, too, time to do gardening
again.
The leading woodchoppers of
by-gone days are still recalled and
still active, but of course. not as
lively as in earlier days. They
were George Reed, Lewis Ford,
and Robert Murphy. They thought
it just a days work to cut two
cords of wood a day, but since
then nobody has been able to do
it. Then they were chopping wood
for the late Edward Hart, who
was engaged to supply all kinds
of wood for various purposes.
These men, when assigned part
ners, soon had to work alone, as
the fellows sent to help them soon
left in disgust, as they could not
keep up.
Skating at Harman's pond used
to be a leading event here. In the
evening, many young people
would go there and all seemed to
be well pleased over the pasttime.

light that illuminated the pond
and surroundings for a wide area.

morning when two small boys
Hughey Wallace, aged 10 years
and months, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Wallace and William
p. Foraker, aged 10 years and 6
months, son of Mrs. Elizabeth E.
Foraker came to an untimely end
in attempting to slide on some
thin ice. The boys went down to
the Lake, and cut across the fields
to Ransom's Cove. At this point
part of the ice was very thick,
but extending across the pond
was a space about thirty feet
wide, which had been open and
had only frozen over the night be-
fore Hughey Wallace and For
aker were displaying their youth
ful skill at sliding, and showing
Earl Delaney who was on shore
how they could venture on the
thinner ice. The supposition is
that they struck an air hole and
they both went down together.
