What might be termed a peculiar hrijipunino; ,vith a laughable ending took plncc at the residence of George Harper i few days ago. The principal actors in : this little drama were Mr , a well known farmer, and I)r F. O. Atwood. It. appears that Or Atwood had hem truth. g souk: of Mr Harper's newly pur eliaicd cows for tuberculosis arid having home spare time, got into a buggy which : stood in the yard. The day being quite ! warm ai.d he feeling somewhat drowsy from overwork, dropped oil' to sleep, and while io this condition his hat dropped oil upon the sent. Whether the.e was hayseed in Ir Atwood's hair and the small birds thought they would get a meal, or for some other reason, ' one of those little scavengers lit on I)r Atwood" hi ad. lie waked up about the same time, and feeling something pe culiar on his top-knot instinctively re placed his hat win re it belonged, there by imprisoning the bird. .lust then Mr came along and commenced to give r Atwood a tlrst-ciass totigue lashing, accusing him of going around killing people's; cows which .were per fectly healthy, etc., and among other re marks lie intimated that he didn't be lieve I r Atwood knew anything about tuberculosis. Dr Atwood quietly re- l marked that there was a great many things which Mr did not .believe, which, however, were true and incident ally remarked .that he supposed Mr , would not believe that it he, Atwood, re moved his hat that a bird would fly out from underneath it. Mr Vast a look of w ithering scorn at him and wondered . in his own mind if the young veterinary bad suddenly become insane. ''That is one of your regular Atwood tricks," remarked Mr -. "(io away from me wi:h your note eii.-c."' But Dr Atwood persisted and was willing to bet that what he had said would happen. Mr I"" i out a s;-" note and said, "Now let us sen that bird it you dare."' Dr At wood removed his hat. Sure enough the oird fluttered out. To Say that Mr v. as surprised i-. to put it mildly and if anyone could have seen his face he could have studied human nature enough to last him all the days of his life. I I ,s 1 IMOMA I. TO ItKV M It TOLLES. The surprise party given by the people of the Methodist church to their former pastor, liev Mr Tulles, was a splendid ucce-s. Mr Tolles, who has been in poor hi alih for some time, returned a -ihort time ago from Colorado, having to give up ii parish in that state, and on his return a number of his former parishion ers conceived the idea of giving a pound social)!!1 for his benefit. So on Tuesday evening, November 10, the people began to gravitate toward the class room of the Methodist church, all carrying a pound of something, and when all had arrived and presented their offering to the coro mi'ti e there was no longer a pound soci i able but a sociable with many pouuds of l the good things of life to back it up. i liev Mr Tulles was visiting, that evening, : at the residence of Mr Wilder. Rev Air j Ford, the present pastor of the church, ! asked him to come down to the lecture room of the church as there was a nuiu I ber of the young people gathered there ; who would he pleased to see him. Mr S Tolles readily consented to meet with the young people. On his arrival at the jchutch he was immediately surrounded , by those present and then the meaning J of the whole thing seemed to dawn upon (him. A purse of -SIT was presented to i him, besides a good many pounds of ; those things which go to make life pleas ant iu the household. Mr Tolles was af fected to tears and thanked the people heartily for their kiuducss and good will, the expression of which must ever re main a pleasant episode in his memory.

William Cothren is sometimes called the Sage of Woodbury. He is known throughout that region as a lawyer, and is known even more widely as a historian. He has proposed a meeting some day of all the lawyers in the state who, like himself, are more than 70 years old. Mr Cothren will be 77 years old ou November 2S, the oldest lawyer in Litch field county. He was burr, in F.inning ton, Me., a descendant of a soldier in King Philip's war, of a soldier in the war between England and France, of h lieu tenant in the Revolutionary War, and of a fsergeant in the War of 1812. He himself gave freely of hh means (luting the civil war, serving on committees for the enlistment of soldiers, eating for soldiers' families and actin way as the soldiers' friend. in "very I Preparing for college at the Faruihig tou Academy, he was graduated from Bowdoin in 1S13, and in 1840 he received his second degree there in course, and in 1847 the degree of Master of Arts, ad eundem, at Yale. He studied law in the offices of Robert Goodenough, of Farm ington, Me., and of .Charles B. Phelps, of Woodbury, Conn. He opened an office in Woodbury as soon as he was admitted to the Bar in Litchfield county, in 1815, and soon built up a lucrative practice, which he still retains. He hss been active in pub lic affairs and was County Commissioner in 1851. He was declared elected sena tor in the Sixteenth district in 1855, but was later unseated by his opponent on a technicality which has since been declar ed without force in other contests. He was elected representative in 1882. He was admitted an attorney aud coun sellor of the United States Circuit Court in April, 1S."(!, and attorney and counsel lor in the Supreme Court of the United States March 8, 1SG5. On May 5, 1847, he was elected a corresponding member of the New England Historico-Genealog- ical Society, in Boston ; on November 23, 1S52, a member of the Connecticut Historical Society, of which he was vice president for many years; on April 24, 1S54, an honorary member of the Old Colony Historical Society, of Plymouth, Mass. ; on January 17, 1855. a corres ponding member of the Wisconsin His torical Society ; on Febuary 3, 1800, a corresponding member of the Vermont Historical Society, and on September 18, 1861, a correspondend member of the Maine Historical Society. He was elected Worshipful Master of King Solomon's Lodge, No. 7, F. and A. M., of Woodbury, in December, 1852, and held the office two years. He was chosen a member of Phi Beta Kappa So ciety, Alpha of Maine, in 1873, and a member of the Sons of the American Revolution in 1889. He is a member of the First Congregational church in Woodbury. He was Justice of the Peace until he reached the age limit, and also notary public. Mr Cothren was one of the organizers of the republican party in Connecticut, but never has been a seeker after political office. He married on September 3, 1S19, Mary Jane Steele, a descendant of John Steele, first secretary of the Colony of Connecti cut, and of the Rev Benjamin Colton, of West Hartford. They had one child, who died young. Mr Cothren has long been a contribu tor of poems and sketches in Ithe maga zines and newspapers and has published legal and historical fpamphlets, but his greatest work is "Cothren's History of Woodbury." The first volume was pub lished in 1S45. It was a pioneer m the field of local history in New England towns. Its genealogical record, prepar ed with great pains, has been invalua able, the list of families including many of national reputation, like that ot Gen William T. Sherman, whose ancestors are buried in Woodbury New York Herald. ENTERTAINMENT BY PUPILS OF PARKER ACADEMY. The students of Parker academy Woodbury, will give a Thanksgiving en A WOMAN'S STORY.
