The Vermont Journal, Windsor, Saturday, June 14, 1884 North Springfield 6/14/1884 Samuel PIPER of this place had the misfortune to cut his foot very badly while mending fence on Hawks Mountain, Monday last, cutting a gash some four inches long and one inch deep. He was taken to Cavendish to his sister's. How about the two young men that came here from Claremont to fish, on Saturday last. We wonder if in robbing hen roosts on their way home, they made enough to keep them out of the lock-up at Windsor. We regret to learn that Mrs. John TOOLER has decided to make her home in Kansas. Her place and entire household furniture are to be sold at auction, Saturday the 21st inst. A severe thunderstorm in this and other parts of the town, on Monday afternoon, ending with a settled rain through the night, did a large amount of damage to highways, bridges and other property. Lightning struck the house of Mrs. Ben ELLISON. No great amount of damage was done, and no one was injured save a few chickens that were near the water cistern in the barn yard, which was lifted from its place and a hole made in one side. Goods in the kitchen were shaken up generally. Mrs. ELLISON was in the barn at the time. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
