SAD AFFAIR IN ALsTEAD.-Mr. Sam
uel Savory of Alstead, n. H., was seri-
ously injured last week by bull which
gored and trampled him under foot,
breaking several of his ribs, and it was
at first feared had fatally injured him
internally, but at last accounts he was
apparently better, and it was hoped
would recover. On Tuesday last his
Oldest son, boy of between eleven and
twelve years of age, committed suicide
by hanging, in his sugar house. The
melancholy act is unaccounted for, and
created most sad surprise in the neigh
borhood. 1t appears that in the morn
ing he desired not to attend school, and
was informed by his mother that he
might stay at home, but that he would
be expected to help take care of his ia
Their. Soon after, his mother saw him
pass out of the house, and as he was not
seen again that morning, it was suppos-
ed he had changed his mind and gone
to school, but on the return of younger
brother, it was ascertained he had not
been to school, and soon after, or at
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he was
found in the sugar house where it was
apparent he had been dead for some
time.

READING LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
The people of Reading have been doin.
highly creditable work for themselves
and in which the various sections of til
town have united. 1t is the formatio
Of a library association. We believ
they began the work last winter, by SUI
scription, and George Clark gave one
his entertainments, the proceeds of whic'
he generously donated to the Associa
ton, and in all making fund of som
three hundred dollars. The officers
the Association are: Clerk-H. f.
Thomas; Treasurer-Mrs. Thadeus Co
nant; Librarian-Mrs. Orpheus Coburn
Committee to select books-Mrs. j. Was
samer, Paul w. Stearns and II. Ii
Hammond. The books were expected
last week, and the library will doubles
soon be ready for use. The last library
association in Reading was some THIRTY
years ago, of which we believe Henri
Conant, who will be remembered by the
older people of the town as somewhat
eccentric as we'll as intelligent man, was
librarian. Their present association will
doubtless prove profitable investment,
and long may it prosper.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH ORGAN.-Mr.
EDITOR Allow me to state through
your columns, for the information of all
who are interested in the matter, that
the laudable efforts of the friends who
recognized the propriety and necessity of
removing from our orchestra the old in
strument of such limited capacities, and
replacing the same by an instrument of
greater volume and superior qualities,
have terminated in a complete success.
All who have heard the organ unhes-
itatingly eoncede its genuine merits, and
our friend Mr.. Nutting is just the artist
to convince everybody that good organ
has music in it. 1t is but Just to add
that the success of the enterprise is large
" attributable to the indomitable energy
of Miss Sherwin who laid the subject
before such as delight to devise liberal
things"
In behalf of the church (and in har-
mony with formal vote / hereby ten
/ der our sincere thanks to all who have
aided in this direction either by contri-
buttons OF by personal encouragements.
May heavens choicest blessings follow
you through life, and may the Baptist
friends in this village ever prove tha
they know how to appreciate lberality
and good wishes, and that the entire scope
of their design is TO be a blessing IN The
community!
