Following was the CAST OF CHARACTERS. Mrs. Lura Hillard Rose Gertrude Small Polly Greta Snellgrove Sooky Kyle Clayton Brown Frank Colewood. McClary Ike John Salmond Zeke. Brewster Cabot Well Known Railroad Man Injured.

Walter B. Noyes, formerly transfer agent for the Boston and Maine railroad at this place, and later at Claremont Junction, and now a freight brakeman in the employ of the Canadian Pacific road, was knocked from a car, several days ago, and seriously injured. While passing Sutton, P. he was struck over the left eye by the iron coupling around the water spout that holds the rope, with which, the pipe to take water for engines is pulled down. He was knocked down and rolled off the top of the car to the ground, striking on his head and shoulders, and rendered nearly insensible.

He was taken on a stretcher to a doctor's office, where several stitches were taken to close the cut over the eye. Both eyes were so swollen he was unable to open either. It was feared at first he had fractured the base of his skull, and the report prevailed, the next day, that he had died in the Royal Victoria hospital in Montreal, where he was taken within a lew hours after the accident. Later reports showed differently, and hopes are now entertained of his complete and speedy recovery. Frederick Dudley Pettes, After five days of suffering from pneumonia, died at his home in Windsor, the 15th at the age of 75.

years. Mr. Pettes was the fifth of a family of nine children born to his parents (seven of whom lived to maturity,) the late Major John and Lucy Richards Pettes. He descended from prominent colonial families of Massachusetts (Boston and Amherst,) on both maternal and paternal lines. His grandfather, Captain Joseph Pettes, came to Windsor in the early part of 1800, and was the proprietor the Pettes Coffee House, a noted hotel of those days, and where General Lafayette was entertained when he came to Windsor.

After the death of Captain Pettes, he was succeeded by his sons, Col. Frederick Pettes and John Pettes, the latter, at the time of his father's death, being a student in McGill university in Montreal. The subject of this sketch was the last male representative of the Pettes family, which in years past had been so prominent in the business affairs of this and neighboring towns. He was educated the public schools in this town and at K. U.

A. in Meriden, N. H. He was an efficient and active man in business in his earlier life, and during his father's term of office as United States marshal in 1850, acted as deputy marshal. He lived for many years on the farm where he was born and died, and its associations with his early home life had made it a hallowed spot to him.

For fifteen or twenty years he conducted a successful milk route. He was possessed of a fine memory, and, perhaps, knew as much as any one of the early history of this place, which had been recounted to him by older people, and from his own observation and intercourse with people who once made Windsor noted for wit and culture. He was most interesting in conversation, a kind neighbor, a good friend, and patient and uncomplaining in the vicissitudes of his life. Funeral services were held on Monday following his death, with burial in St. Francis' cemetery, Messrs.

The municipal authorities of several committees took the matter up and pressed it with vigor, but the recent course of the exchange in revoking the increase there and restoring rates to their old bases has killed the scheme in the Nutmeg State. Other communities, where rates have not been lessened, but even now are threatened with another increase, might well take this subject of municipal insurance under consideration.
