il the workers continue their zeal for
another year as they have for the past
year. they viii see great from their
efforts and labors. We believe that
meetings like these, where the young can
be drawn in to take a part, tend TO de-

better than anything else.

a Dixfield correspondent gives us sew
eral items of interest that have happened
in his neighborhood: A plucky girl in
Weld named Dorcas White, was met in
the road by wild cat. which was being
pursued by her brother, who had been
hunting it with gun. With presence OF
mind. and courage amounting to heroism
she took her shawl from her shoulders,
threw it over the vicious beast and held
him till her brother came up and despatch
ed him. The snow is Is inches deep on

widow who has gone to Utah lately,
named Brown sends word she is perfect

article which makes the Mexican enthu-
siasts look blue.-An old lady of Dix
