New London Last Thursday night about eleven o'clock during the thunder storm, lightning struck the barn of Martin O'Brien in the town of Lebanon, tearing out a few rafters, etc. and running down the side of the building killed a valuable cow. Dr. Eldridge is in town and he intends to assume his brother's (Dr. Freeman's) practice. He comes here from Boston, where he has been in practice until his brother's death, when by urgent request of many of his friends and Dr. Freeman's patients he was induced to come here and locate. Clintonville It is a rather difficult feat to get up a sufficient amount of news to fill our columns with. Everybody is busy at work, and none have time to fight, die, get married or get drunk.

Boy Drowned - Artie Damon finds a watery Grave in Partridge Lake A sad calamity by drowning happened in Partridge Lake near the village of Fremont on Saturday, the victim being young Artie Damon aged 17, nephew of E. L. Damon with whom the young man resided. The circumstances as we have them are as follows: It seems that E. L. Damon and Art had been working, building a barn in "Little River" or "Evanswood", west of Fremont, for Dick Lovejoy. They have been in the habit of crossing the lake and taking the river, with their skiff mornings and returning from their work evenings, thereby saving several miles hard walking. On Saturday afternoon there was quite a gale blowing that made the waves rock and drift their boat badly. While not a great ways from Fremont their skiff overturned and the young man sand to rise no more alive on earth. The uncle clung to the boat. Their heart rending cries were heard above the roar of the wind and waves by parties on shore and Myron Springer took a skiff and rescued Mr. Damon from his perilous position. His hands were clutched tightly to the edge of the boat and he was nearly unconscious, and it was with difficulty that Mr. Springer saved him. He was got to shore and taken to a residence near by, where medical attendance was summoned and his life restored. He said everything seemed like some awful dream to him when consciousness returned. The whole community were shocked at the terrible calamity and up to Tuesday the body had not been recovered although parties are vigilantly searching for the remains. Young Damon is well spoken of by those who knew him. He worked last summer for Geo I. Smith of Fremont, who says he was a very faithful and energetic young man. It is a sad loss.
