ed will be ready for use next month.
The new cheese factory is in full opera

We learn that Norman w. Wood, Esq.
has sold his residence to Mr.. Robinson
of Reading, and is about to remove to
that town. We shall regret his depart
ure from among us feeling that in him
we possessed an upright, genial and en-
terprising citizen.
The new buildings in process of cree
ton here, the new depot, the Fullerton
block on Main street, and the residence
of Zenas Marshall on Grafton street are
rapidly reaching completion, The new
block will be occupied by stores on the
first floor, and by Centre Lodge No. 80
l. o. o. f., on the second floor; the rap
id and skillful manner in which the work
on this structure has been done has made
dangerous " Uncle Mats offer of ten
dollars for the first drop of carpenters
sweat"
A new sign bearing the names of "Bar-
ton & Bemis' ornaments the store at
North Chester. Both members of the
firm are favorably known to our commu-
nifty, and therefore we hope Barton will
think we reflect nothing on him, when
we say that we back Bemis against the
balance of the whole world for good taste,
for the beautiful in everything. He has
named his youngest son Hugh"

LEcTURE.-Geo. L. Fletcher Esq. of
Chester, has recently delivered an ad-
dress before the re igious societies of
Weston, Ludlow and other towns in
this State, which is spoken of as one of
excellence and well calculated to awaken
increased interest in the Sabbath school
and the moral education of the young.
The Ludlow Gazette has the following
notice of it:
"The speaker began at the commence
ment of Sunday Schools at Gloucester,
England, by Robert Raikes in 1881, and
sketched the progress and spread of the
institution until now millions Of scholars
and thousands of teachers are connected
with them. From the humble beginning
made by their founder, these schools are
now organized in almost every section of
the civilized world, and are the means Of
salvation to many who would not have
otherwise heard of the good news of sal
walton.
He then touched upon the moral effect
of Sabbath schools as shown in their be-
ing the nursery of the Church, and fixing
the Gospel in the minds of children be-
fore the strong force Of habit has addict
ed them to evil.
The duties of teachers were also treat
ed upon, especially on temperance. Sab
bath School teachers, be said, should I'M
hesitatingly urge upon their pnpils total
abstinence from all that does intoxicate
And examples of the fearful effects of
license on drinking were given. The
case of Josiah L. White and Henry We'll
come, who in their dying confessions
laid the crimes, for which they suffered
to intoxicating drinks and the conse-
quent debasement, were cited as illustra-
tions of the fearful tendency of alcoholic
stimulants. The rum seller could be
looked upon as inimical to the well be-
ing of his race"
