The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, July 26, 1889 Mendon 7/26/1889 Will my brother in Sherburne tell me why the doctors didn't talk with tears in their fists and their eyes doubled up, to that woman who pretends she took paris green? Poor Hannah! As Mrs. Will RANGER and her mother (Mrs. LONGLEY) were coming across the mountain, one day last week, from Pittsfield, when near the Rob FOSTER place they saw four bears (three cubs and the old bear) cross the road right ahead of them. They notified Mr. FOSTER, who was haying close by, and Mr. FOSTER and his men, with pitchforks and dogs, started in pursuit; but we have not seen any dead bears yet. Mr. and Mrs. SUTTON passed Sunday in Pittsfield, their home. Elder D. P. PERKINS filled the desk at the A. C. church, last Sunday, very acceptably. Miss Vi PERKINS with her good music and singing are greatly missed. Elder D. W. DAVIS and wife went to Bridgewater, Saturday, Elder DAVIS preaching there Sunday. John GAGNOR has got back from a five weeks visit in Canada. Mrs. Calvin PARKER is stopping, this week, with Mrs. Robert FOSTER--Mr. PARKER's mother.
