Dr. Levi A. Abbott, treasurer of 
Shurtleff college at Upper Alton, II, 
returned to his duties at his western 
home Tuesday. Dr. Abbott came 
East last week for the express pur- 
pose of appearing as a witness for the 
West Beach corporation in the Pres- 
ton law suit, and Monday, in the 7th 
session, Superior court at Boston, he 
appeared as such, being on the wit- 
ness stand for more than two hours. 
He was born in 1824 and is therefore 
82 years old. At the time of the in- 
corporation of the beach property by 
the Massachusetts legislature in 1852 
Mr. Abbott was a member of that 
body representing Beverly and he had 
charge of the bill of incorporation, and 
his remembrance of all the details per- 
taining to same at that time, even at 
this late day, is as clear as if it were 
of a recent date. Dr. Abbott also 
has in his possession letters and docu- 
ments pertaining to the above case 
which are interesting and appear to be 
of considerable value as evidence. 
The first public social event of the 
new athletic club, which, by the way, 
has adopted the name of the “Hardy 
club,”’ will be given in Marshall's hall, 
Feb. 13. Whist playing is to take up 
the time from 8 to 10 p.m.,, after 
which dancing will continue until 1 
o'clock. Refreshments will be served. 
The widening of Hart street near 
the estate of the Bennett heirs, which 
work was completed a short time ago, 
is certainly an improvement and much 
appreciated by the traveller of today. 
The extremely bad and dangerous 
corner is entirely eliminated, the old 
homestead has disappeared and other 
buildings moved to new locations and 
on the old sites has now been con- 
structed a part of the street and a 
new sidewalk, which not alone makes 
it pleasant to the passers-by, but is 
also an improvement of no_ small 
proportions to the near-by estates.

John H. Linehan of Pride’s Cross- 
ing, has been elected secretary and 
treasurer of the Danvers Country club. 
Under the direction of Foreman 
Wm. E. Elliott of the street depart- 
ment the sidewalk on West street 
from the engine house to the cross 
walk at the depot was recently 
treated to a top dressing of crusher 
dust which had the effect of putting 
the sidewalk in excellent condition, a 
fact much appreciated by the pedes- 
trians who heretofore had to wallow in 
the mud and water caused by the 
warm weather. 
The social to be given under the 
auspices of John West colony, Pilgrim 
Fathers, will be on next Tuesday 
evening, January 30. Whist is first 
in order, commencing at’ 8 o'clock, 
and after two hours the floor will be 
cleared for dancing. 
Representative Wm. R. Brooks has 
recently purchased from Andrew W. 
Preston, three parcels of land on 
Hart street. It is understood that 
one of the above parcels comprises the 
homestead of the late Isaac Wood 
Smith which includes a fine cottage 
house of seven rooms, stable, shop and 
other buildings, all in excellent repair, 
and is certainly the makings of a fine 
home. It is supposed Mr. Brooks 
has purchased for his own occupancy. 
Learning to be ‘chauffeurs’’ is at 
present proving quite a vocation for 
many of the young men of Beverly 
Farms, and courses of training during 
the past few months at automobile es- 
tablishments in Boston and elsewhere 
have been in order. Several of the 
young men in carrying out their desire 
have placed themselves in the head- 
quarters of the manufacturers, among 
such being Frank Dix with the 
Hewitt Automoblle Co., and Hugh 
Gillis with the White Automobile Co., 
both of New York City, and John J. 
McNeil is at the factory in Buffalo, 
N.Y., of the Pierce Automobile con- 
cern.
