BHOOKIiINE. Tn Starch ltr liolil In Alaska. Two young men, sons of Samuel E. Stebblns, formerly of this town, now of North Dakota. Walter, years old, and Howlaud, started for Alaska about two weeks ago.

They are hardy fellows used to rough life, having served considerably at railroading. Howlaud on the Northern l'aclflc railroad across the Kocky Mountains. He will take his family with him to Seattle, WasJi-t and leave them there with relaUws. From Seattle the young men take steamer to Orca, about 10 miles west of Copper river, here they expect to prospect for gold. This recion is said to be rich In gold, but occupied by a very hostile tribe of Indians.

It is hoped that the large parties of prospectors and miners going there next spring, will cause the Indians to give way. These young men leave extensive farming operations In Dakota In the care of two younger brothers. They have 440 acres under the plough. Their outfits, including one year's" supplies, cost about $700 each. Thev have a sister who receives a salary of $1500 annually as court reporter at the city of Duluth, Minn.

Tlir Klnnrlitit Let Lnuif. We had some very cold weather the latter part of last week, the thermometer ranging from live to IS below zero. The moruluc as Sunday, when it reached from 10 to 2U below. Monday, morning found it snowing and the storm continued through Monday night and Tuesday morniiu. with a tierce wind blow-inc through Tuesday, drifting the roads badly.

About IS inches of snow fell, which, with the plentiful supply we had, makes about three feet on a level. The roads were drifted so badly that there was no session of school on Wednesday, and Mr. P-att, the mail carrier, was unable to get farther than the school house Tuesday night, having to shovel qut his team anil turn back there. Those who have been prophesying not much snow this winter must be changing their minds by this time. D.

J. Hucbcock and family spent last Sunday with Mr. Hitchcock's father iu Athens, the occasion being his father's Mill birthday anniversary. The ladies' benevoltnt society will have their annual supper at the chapel on Friday evening, Feb. 4.

It will be a sliced poetry supper. There will also be a sale of useful articles. EAST DOVEH. The sick are improving slowly. Several iucl of snow fell Monday and in the evening.

There is too much to suit the people, especially the teamsters, who are hard to suit A small party of young people enjoyed a sleichride last Wednesday evening, going to Will letterl's. Refreshments were served and the evening nas spent in singing. WEST DOVER. Mrs. Uufus Stanley is quite ill; also Mrs.

Truman Green. Frank Uellows is the new mail carrier on the Wilmington route, having bought out C. K. Mann. Miss Nora Hall, who has been at W.

H. Churchill's and attending school, has returned to her home in Wardsboro. At the cotillion parly at W. II. Churchill's last Friday night, 3- tickets were taken.

The next one will be Feb. 11. The village school closed last Saturday. Thursday evening Mr. Wyman gave the school a sugar eat to which nearly every family Iu the district was present.

Last Sunday night at o'clock the mercury ran down to -'4: below zero iu some places in the village. What do the people think about old-fashioned winters a thing of the past? The worst storm of the season came Monday and Monday night, during which time the wind blew the suow into drifts so that Tuesday morning no mail went from here on either route. No rmil as received from Hrattleboro Monday or Tuesday, uor from Wilmington Tuesday, but the roads are again passable and it is hoped we may not be isited with such a storm again this winter. UUMMEBSTON. lrn.

Jullll 4irerl1t oocl. Attention is here called to the biographical sketches of the late Deacon Green wood, that appeared tn tue local papers last November, for the purpose of making i a few corrections. In The Pbieuix tlie date of his image was given as in the year 1830 Deacon Greenwood was married to ISeuey lielknap in the fall of 1S30 or the spring of 1S31, as their golden wedding aumversary was observed in the fall or spring before the death of Mrs. John Leonard, who died Aug. H', ISil.

A long sketch in another paper about Deacon Greenwood, makes no mention of his ever being married, although his wife died at West Duiumerslou, Dec. 2, ImU, aged SO years. The statement that he was a blacksmith by occupation caunot be sustained. It is true that he and his brother Harvey bmlt a blacksmith shop and hired a blacksmith by the name of Prouty to run it. The shop stood uear the Stephen Merrifield pi tee and a picture of it is still in existence.

The. deacon and his Harvey never learned the blacksmith's trade. They occasionally did little jobs in the shop! like setting a shoe, after Mr. Prouty left their employ, but had no general knowledge of the bustues. The traditional statement that Mr.

Greenwood drove with Daniel Webster from Uraltleboro to strauou when the great political convention was held there iu 1S40, is not founded on fact. Deacon lmy Wilder, his intimate friend for nearly "5 years, is positivethat Mr. Greenwood is ro. the man who made the iruous ride. Mr.

Wildet atteuded the same coi.ventiou, A not see anything that would confirm the tradition, and never heard it mentioned. Moreover, he i. confident that the people of Uraltleboro would never have consented to an arrangement which would deprive them of the honor of convejing the great statesman to his destination' among the Green Mountains. The Baptist church in West Dummers-ton was built 1ST. It was not built, as reported, through the eft" arts of Deacon Greenwood aud Deacon Jacob It as Benjamin Stiv-kney and Deacon Greenwood who furnished the money for that enterprise.

It was Deacon Estey's money that helped Deacou Greenwood to bulkl the Uspust parsonage. These corrections may seem trifling, but biographical sketches should be correct as a matter of historical record. In this in- Every Berry Selected as carefully as the master builder chooses the most perfect stones for the completion of a famous piece of work.

stance the history and the family genealogy of the Green woods of New Enclaud are wanted for publication by Ilrowu Thurston, a publisher in Portland, Maine. He Is now complliuc a history of the Greenwood families. Deacon Greenwood neglected to answer letters of inquiry about his father's family written by Mr" Thurston within the past three years. The writer of these lilies was requested to aid in obtaining the desired information. It appears that the Deacon belonged to a family of seven children, four sons and three daughters, none of whom are now liviuc.

His parents were John and Hutu (Gale) Greenwood He left no children. In the Kttglit 7.nnr. An arctic wave swept down the past week, sending the mercury below zero far enough to establish the fact that winter now reisns supreme. It is cold enough, and there is snow sufficient to satisfy the man who has been wishing for a long time that we could have one of the old-fashioned winters. It was zro weather all day last suuday, and only :0 persons came out to church.

Twenty-seven attended the Christian Endeavor meeting in the even-inc. the temperature outside the building being 15 below zero, when the meeting closed. Christian Endeavor day will be observed next eveuiug. The Christian Endeavor locomotive will be put on exhibition, fully equipped and run by the Endeavorers. The Grangers did not hold their regular meeting on Tue-day evening on account of the blizzaru.

Mr Hall, the mail carrier, had to walk from the Diim-merstou post -office to the railway station, a disttnee of three miles, on Tuesday forenoon, not being able to get through with a team on account of the storm. No singing school was held on Wednesdav evening. EST wUMMEHSTON. February 3 was the coldest morning of the season, 24" below zero at 7:40.

MARLBORO. Horse MraltuR In Illusilale and Marlboro. Thieves who took a horse and two sets of hirness from L. Fogg, who lives on the Watson French place on the road from Brattleboro to Hinsdale, on the night of Jan. 22, seem to have done a thriving business in their line.

After staying in the choppers' shanty near the Chesterfield suspension bridge for a few days, or long enough to get the lay of the land, they moved to the shanty in Marlboro where D. P. Prescott had his mill located. From there thev went down and took Fogg's horse and harness. They were seen by several people driving along the road in the night and leading the horse behind, but no one seems to have suspected anything wrong.

In Marlboro three nights after they took a horse from Charles Bartlett and a sleigh from King, besides swiping whatever the could conveniently lay hands on about the shauty. They disappeared tha night. They were followed, and last Mon dav the horses were found at Joe LeClair's in Marlboro, where they traded them for another pair. They also traded one of the stolen harness to A. E.

Carey. They were last heard from in Wilmiugton, where they stayed over night in a sujar house. There were said to be lour in the party, and the names are given as alter Keed, Ld 11 Hams, Fred Squires and a woman supposed to be Emma Carroll. Three of them are from Massachusetts. Officers who think they know the gang say that two of them nave served time, and all of them are want ed for offences other than this one.

The Holyoke correspondence of the Springfield, Union of Monday con talned the following: "Mrs. Sara Morse, wife of Andrew Morse of 7 Laurel street, Elmwood, died while reading a newspaper at her home yesterday nton. Mrs. Morse was around the house as usual in the -morning, apparently enjoying her usual good health. While preparations were being made for dinner she sat in the sitting room reading a paper.

When called" to dinner at 1-o'clock sue failed to respond, and upon going 10 the sitting room Mr. Morse found his wife sitting in the chair, dead. Dr Buckley was summoned and he pro nounced death due to heart failure. Mrs. Morse was 73 years old and was born in Marlboro, Vt." NEWPAKE, I Miss A.

Finally, having read artldei 1 parding cures that had been fleeted by Dr. WdUams' Pink Pills for Pale Peop I decided to try them. That was in 1896. I bought a box and took the pills accord, ing to instructions. "Four days later I had the happiest hours I had known for years.

That night I went to sleep easily and slept soundly a a child and awoke refreshed. "After I had taken four boxes of the pills, I found that I was cured and had also increased 27 pounds in weighL This greatly surprised my friends, who thought my case was a hopeless one. I be-gan my work again and have continued ever since in excellent health. "Another valuable gain to me was, tiul while I was taking these pills I had been cured of the smoking habit, which had formed when I was a boy and had clung to me all these years. The craving for tobacco left me and I have never experienced it since.

al cannot say enough for these pills and have recommended them to many." To verify this statement Mr. Harrington made affidavit to its truthfulness before Lincoln M. Coy, Notary Public. Dr. Villiams' Pink Pills for Pale People strike at the root of disease by acting di-rectly upon the impure blood.

Their power is marvelous and many -wonderful cures have been made. Druggists consider them a potent remedy, and all sell them. 1 -i nnn Reason ui Hat Trees We have just wired a few of the new sprin, styles and at the prices we have marked on them they are bargains.
