The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 Mendon 7/5/1889 Cleo R. MORSE, young son of J. J. MORSE (of Sherburne), recently had the misfortune to break his left arm badly, about half way between the wrist and elbow, while on a visit to his grandparents--Mr. and Mrs. R. RANGER. Quite a number went from here to tend the BAIRD-HORTON wedding, in Chittenden, the 26th ult.; Miss HORTON having taught school here, a number of terms. John GAYNOR has gone to Canada to visit friends and relatives. Mrs. Richard FOSTER and daughter Martha have just returned from a five weeks visit in Canada. Hannah BREWER is some better; so they have moved her down to her brother's--Darius CARRUTH. R. Ranger has sold his wool to John CRAMTON of Rutland, price paid twenty-five cents per pound. May and Vi PERKINS have gone to Castleton, to work in the hotel. Mr. and Mrs. SUTTON of Pittsfield are going to help R. RANGER through haying. Mrs. Sarah ELIOTT has gone home to New York, B. PARKER being about the same. A full house greeted Rev. B. W. ATWELL, Sunday, and all spoke highly of him that I heard speak of his sermon.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 North Shrewsbury 7/5/1889 At the late village school meeting, George WORKS was elected committee; Willard GUILD, clerk and treasurer; William ALDRICH, moderator; D. H. COOK, collector. Seven months school was voted. We are pleased to note that the school teachers, as far as we have heard, in the four districts nearus, have given good satisfaction; viz., Anna NOYES, Mrs. WALKER, Kate WATERMAN, and Delia BARBER. Lyman COLBURN has returned from Boston, where he has been engaged on the street cars for some time past. Miss Lousie JOHNSON of Mechanicsville is on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Wilson ALDRICH. H. C. GLEASON, who runs the largest cheese-factory in town, has two more patrons over last year. He is making 13 1/2 cheese per day; and as he has a first-class cheese-maker, the quality is excellent. Well Shrewsbury is noted for its good cheese. Elton BURDITT is circulating a petition asking the government to establish a post-office at Burdettsville, or what is known as Shippy Hollow. It is being signed quite generally. It would be a great convenience to the people in the north-west part of the town. Luther LORD has this pleasant reflection, at least, on looking back on his 8 years service as mail-carrier; that he has been faithful and that the people appreciate it. George WORKS succeeds Mr. LORD as mail carrier. He has bought a new stage, and seems desirous to have things comfortable for passengers. Your correspondent was pleased to note the improvements that have been made, recently, in the neat little village of Shrewsbury. First, the church has been re-painted on the outside, and now with the beautiful grove of maples in front it presents a very inviting appearance. Secondly, the school-house has been re-shingled, and H. C. GLEASON, who owns nearly half the village, is improving his horse barn by raising the roof and slating it. Farmers commenced haying, Monday Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 Plymouth Union 7/5/1889 Some of our farmers have tried haying about a week, but the weather is so bad they are about discouraged. Arrivals in town are Mrs. W. D. BOYD of Westminster, Mass., and Wesley ARCHER of Taftsville, at L. J. GREEN's; Arthur SPAFFORD at E. F. SANDERSON's. Mrs. Lucretia JOHNSON has returned from Ludlow, where she has been taking care of Mrs. ESTY. The Sabbath-school concert here, last Sunday evening, was quite a success. The children did well. Mr. CARPENTER of Bridgewater, also Mr. GRAVES of the same place, were in attendance and made very able remarks. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 Cuttingsville 7/5/1889 Will FISHER of Dakota is spending some time in town and surrounding localities, riding after Dan BUTTERFIELD's $1,000 pair of Nimrods. Mrs. CASS of Saratoga, the accomplished artist, is visiting at J. P. BOWMAN's. Mrs. O. L. MARTIN and daughter have been enjoying a carriage-ride through the Granite state, visiting the scenes of her childhood. Mr. and Mrs. George P. GALE made us a call a few days ago. They had in their possession decidedly the prettiest baby we have seen in just thirty years. Report of district No. 2: The following pupils have not been absent during the term--Bert and Mattie ADAMS, Maud and Lucy ACKLEY, Nellie BURSEY, Franc and Harry CARL, Rema EITAPENC, Grace GORDON, Eddie MALONEY, Guy RIVERS, Frank and Mary SORREL, Jessie SMALLEY, Alice, Emma and Mabel WILLIAMS; one-half day--Jessie FEE, Amelia LOVEJOY. The average standing for the last half of the term--Kate O'BRIEN 98, Mary BAKER, Amelia LOVEJOY, Eddie MALONEY, Paul EITAPENC and Jessie FEE, 96, Bert ADAMS, Addie WAITE, Hugh RIDLON, 95, Guy HUNTOON and George LARGESS, 94. Lois E. BRYANT, teacher. A mere commonplace report, as above, hardly does justice to teacher, pupils or parents. The term closed with a public exhibition in a shady grove on the river's band. The exercises included recitations, reading, and singing; and it is safe to say no district school could show more proficiency in their various studies or appear better in general deportment, showing evidently the result of first-class, careful teaching. The unanimity of good feelings existed between teacher, scholars, and all interested in the good work was manifested by a general request that D. K. BUTTERFIELD, the prudential committee, engage Miss BRYANT for the next school year. There were also croquet games on the grounds, and swings suspended from the overhanging branches of the big elms, affording cheerful, healthful recreation and amusement. At 4 o'clock the snow-white linen was spread for all, including many from abroad, and the boards well loaded with a bountiful repast, including all the luxuries, niceities and goodies the ladies could invent and vest with toothsome sweetness and attraction. DEVOURED BY WILD HOGS Lying between Russell's Mills and North Shrewsbury, in a wild and lonely spot, is a considerable body of water, known as Mud Pond. Mud eels, and hornpouts, are the only representatives of the finny tribe that sport in its waters, while the balance of its inhabitants is made up of mud turtles, lizards, frogs, snakes, tadpoles, and blood-suckers. In consequence of the swampy jungles that surround it, and the unsavory quality of its inmates, the angler's hook seldom disturbs it's dark waters; nor is his fly ever thrown on its drowsy surface. But on a recent Saturday night three of our village lads just merging into manhood indulged the happy thought that they would astonish their several families, Sunday morning, by finding at least half a bushel of the dusky denizens of "Mud Pond" dumped in the kitchens for breakfast; and to perfect their plan they provided themselves with all the necessary fishing-tackle, bait and bags, and reached the secluded locality by a circuitous route, just as old sol was gilding the tree-tops on the neighboring hills with his last golden rays. They found the denizens of the muddy deep much larger, and more forbidding and ferocious than they had ever dreamed of; they were not only ready to seize the proffered bait, but anxious to catch on to the donor! Darkness falls early in this dismal region, and night soon wrapped her sable robes around Mud Pond and neighboring jungles; yet pale Luna shed her silver rays through drifting clouds, furnishing a weird and fitful light that flooding the youths' minds with fearful and fantastic apparitions. About this time the birds of night--the cat owl, saw-whet, night hawk, and screech owls, struck up a bold anthem, with interludes and symphonies by the croaking bull frog, fluttering-voiced tree toad, and little peepers. It is evident that the young fellows' minds were wrought up to the highest pitch, for they declare they saw mud-turtles as large as half bushel measures, bull-padox as large as a peck, and mosquitoes big as jay birds. Having their sacks well repleted, they struck out on a bee line for home, which led through a large field bordering the pond kept as a piggery and breeding-ranch by a lazy farmer, where he turns out large herds of swine in early spring and gathers in ten-fold their number late in autumn. During the season, in this lonely place, the become dangerous and as savage as the wild hogs of Asia or India. In passing through a small ravine interlaced with hog-brakes, they run on to a part of the wild herd. The younger members having never seen man, set up a terrible squealing, scampering in every direction, which aroused their dames and they went for the intruders with a vengeance. The fathers and grandfathers of the colony joined in the attack, roaring, snorting, squealing, frothing and foaming at every jump. About this time a heavy cloud obscured the moon's friendly face, and a copious shower fell from its dark bosom. The fishermen had lost their bags and contents, fishing-tackle, hats, and everything, in their flight. One scaled a high rock, while the other two sought safety in some friendly shade-trees. The fish were devoured by the hungry porkers. The young men, perched in different positions, not knowing each other's whereabouts, yet hearing the growling, fighting, chanking, and chewing of the hungry swine, were in the greatest agony of mind, each one supposing that his comrades were being devoured by the ravenous brutes; but all answered at roll-call next morning, although it was a hair-breadth escape.

Whole number of scholars, 15; average attendance, 14. Eva SMITH, Alzina THOMPSON, Ella and Blanche CHILD, Rosa CRAPO, Lizzie and Edith SWALLOW, Sadie, Georgie and Willie CARLETON, and Lewis RICHARDSON, had no marks. The scholars deserve much credit for the interest shown during the term, while the parents are none the less deserving for the attendance and punctuality of their children. On the last day the scholars presented their teacher a beautiful plush work-case, which will be highly prized as a token of love and respect. Last Wednesday, E. Minnie THOMPSON and Mrs. O. E. FLANERY of Londonderry drove to Saxton's River to be present at the commencement exercises of Vermont Academy. they report a very pleasant time, and feel amply paid for the long drive in the heat.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 Bartonsville 7/5/1889 Those who were fortunate in getting ready to hay, last week, were unfortunate in getting much hay damaged. Miss L. L. MILLER closed a very successful term of ten weeks school, the 28th ult., with a picnic in Mr. ADAMS' grove. A large number were present, among whom Miss Lillian POLLARD and scholars from No. 3, whose school closed the dame day. Exercises consisted of recitations, interspersed with song from invited guests. But allow me to add that the most taking part of the whole was the negro melodies and improvised actors, as evidenced by the twice loud unkored approbation of their admirers. All partook of a bountiful repast furnished by the ladies of Bartonsville, together with lemonade and bananas (instead of pickles) for condiments. Just then not very distant thunder portended an approaching shower and all quickly dispersed to their several homes, feel that a happy event was over, and by no means unappreciated, but fully enjoyed.

The evening was spent very pleasantly and all wish Miss BRANNOCK many more birth-days. Saturday afternoon, Frank BRANNOCK and wife met with what might have been a serious accident. While going down the hill near Mr. SHATTUCK's, the spokes fell out of the wagon-wheel and Mr. and Mrs. BRANNOCK were thrown to the ground. the horse ran into Mr. HOOK's barn, but luckily no damage was done beyond a general shaking up and slight damage to the harness and buggy.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 Chester 7/5/1889 Friday evening, at E. B. LEE's store, a large tarantula made its appearance on the outside of a bunch of bananas, having been disturbed by the removal of his nest from inside the bunch by Mr. LEE. The huge spider looked ugly and defiant, as he seemed to dispute the right of the owner to the remainder of the fruit. Taken out into the yard, he was brushed to the ground, when he showed great activity in his efforts to escape. He was finally secured, placed in a glass jar, and taken into the store, where he is on exhibition, preserved in alcohol. The poisonous vermin are becoming altogether too common, as we are informed there is one now domiciled in one of our stores having escaped from his home among the bananas. They are ugly fellows, and should be looked for before the fruit is taken into the store. The writer has been presented, by P. LOONY, with a potato of the Puritan variety, raised by Harry HILTON, 50 days from the planting, that weighed 4 1/2 ounces. Mrs. Ed DUNSTER died June 27th, aged 18 years. The remains were buried Friday afternoon, in the South Street cemetery, Rev. H. B. TILDEN officiating at the funeral. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

"One of our young ladies was recently treed by a 2-year-old short-horn, where she was obliged to sit in an uncomfortable position until he left." Reminds me of time I was also treed . Didn't think anything was in the pasture. Very wrong. I had an audience - my brothers laughed till they cried. Good memories of the boys (now gone) who ended up a doctor and a lawyer. Maybe they saw opportunity call in my predicament. Thanks for the memory.

Mr. H. went to Brattleboro last Thursday, and Mrs. H. went down Saturday night, on the midnight train. The whole thing is reported one of the greatest mysteries Brattleboro ever experienced. The opinion of Dr. DRAPER is that he was taken suddenly insane, and has wandered off. Search has been made in the woods, river, and all places where it was supposed he might have been; but of no avail. The doctor has written to the different insane asylums that if a stranger should be brought there insane to notify him. Mr. HUMPHREY has written notices and sent to the postmasters in surrounding towns, giving descriptions of their boy, and is in hopes some clue may be had of him yet. They have the sympathy of this entire community.

Mr. H. went to Brattleboro last Thursday, and Mrs. H. went down Saturday night, on the midnight train. The whole thing is reported one of the greatest mysteries Brattleboro ever experienced. The opinion of Dr. DRAPER is that he was taken suddenly insane, and has wandered off. Search has been made in the woods, river, and all places where it was supposed he might have been; but of no avail. The doctor has written to the different insane asylums that if a stranger should be brought there insane to notify him. Mr. HUMPHREY has written notices and sent to the postmasters in surrounding towns, giving descriptions of their boy, and is in hopes some clue may be had of him yet. They have the sympathy of this entire community. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
