namesake, from Westfeld, come to New

THE MENlPHREMAGOG HOUSE. - After |
continuing three or four days, work on the |
addition to this hotel has stopped, pending
the result of negotiations between Mr. PEN |
dar and the railroad company. 1t is pref |
ty certain that the railroad company will |
purchase Mr.. Pendar's part of the house, |
but no such thing has actually taken place,

Both parties have agreed to leave it to men
chosen for the purpose, to say what the
price shall be, and both parties will prob |
ably abide by the decision In allusion to
the matter in a former issue we stated the |
facts precisely as they existed at the time,

beam out of his own eye and then he can
see clearly.
