Aug. 16, 1923 itor New Britain Herald: (By Dr. R. been running around among the small, out of the way places, in New Hamp- shire and Vermont, mostly off the state road and main lines of travel and as an interesting diversion we have frequently spent an hour and sometimes two or three, in try church yards, in. search of the quaint and peculiar cpitaphs which are found only in the oldest of these historical God's acres. Not far from the village of Peach- am, the birthplace of Col. Harvey, ambas- sador to Engiand, is one of the most picturesque and delightful villages in Vermont we found the graves of 11 infant children, on each of which was a little ‘marble lamb. The village historian gays that after the death of the sixth infant, the fath- er purchased a dozen lambkins from the local marble cutter, but that be- fore the last was used the mother died.

WEATHER CONDITIONS AID HIGHWAY WORK Coolness and Dryness Enabled State Department to do More Con-~ struction Per Man Hartford, Aug. 18. — The coolness and dryness of the summer have en- abled the state highway department W“to do more road construction per man this year than for many years past in | the department’s history, according to Elmer C.
