The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, December 11, 1885 Windham 12/11/1885 The 7th inst. was convincing evidence that we did not get all of our cold weather last summer. The people at the South Village are intending to have a Christmas-tree and exercises for Christmas eve. The winter terms of school have commenced. Stephen DUTTON teaches in district No. 7, A. J. HOLDEN is district No. 5, and a young Mr. WATERMAN, from Jamaica, teaches in the Stearns district. Miss Sarah A. THOMPSON presides over the juvenile aspirations at the Center (district No. 1), making the third term that she has kept in the same place. She approximates as near to giving universal satisfaction as a teacher can usually. The 27th ult., as L. A. BALLOU was returning from Townshend with his matched pair of horses, when near the TAFT place (where he and his brother had been to look at a pair of cattle) the near horse caught one fore foot in a stone sluice, which threw her down. It took the united strength of two men to get her liberated. They found no bones broken, but the flesh was cut, leaving the cords and bone bare. Josiah TAFT sewed up the wound, and it is doing as well as can be expected, but it will be some time before she will be fit to drive.
