The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, December 21, 1888 Shrewsbury 12/21/1888 D. E. ALDRICH & Co. got their thirtieth fox, this week. Charlie ALDRICH, while out hunting last week, treed a partridge,and while in the act of shooting it, the partridge was pounced upon by a large hawk; and Charlie firing at the same time, brought down both birds. Who can beat that? Solon SMITH has bought him a new horse, of Jonah ALDRICH. Rufus WORKS, living on the COLBURNE farm, has lost one cow and has two more sick; supposed to be from poke in the hay. Ed BEMIS was in town, Tuesday. There was slaughtered at L. A. RUSSELL's, last Monday, pork that dressed 2,746 pounds. Quite a slaughtering for one day's work.
