POULTNEY. = Mr. James Lewis has
purchased of Mr.. Champlin of this village,
building lot on Maple street for $500.
A fine residence will be commenced i'm
mediately. This arrangement provides
for occupying all the lots on the west
side of Maple street with good residences
The preparation of the grounds for
the new Baptist church to be built on the
corner of Maple street and Bent,y Avenue
will commence next week. A more de-
sirable location for q church could hardly
be selected. 1t is just removed from the
business and confusion of Main street,
easily accessible from all points, with dry
and clean streets, good sunlight, and
pleasant surroundings.
Mr.. f, O. Belts has purchased a lot
of Mr.. Sherman, en- the north side of
Bently avenue, first lot east Of the rail-
road, aud commenced the foundation for
new house, This is good location;
and, like others upon this street, affords
an extended view to the south where the
cars may be seen for nearly two miles,
steaming through rich and beautiful
valley, bounded by varied and romantic
scenery on the east, and the grand old
hills Of Hampton on the west
The opening aud completion of
Bently avenue, anticipated early the
coming season, will add still more desira-
BILE situations for residences to our viii
Iage. These, with the pleasant locations
afforded on Church street, looking out
upon the village of Hampton, with its
glorious sunset hill beyond, and those on
York street stretching it's view far down
the valley towards Fairhavep, and the
sites around the college, with their re-
tired and lovely lawns, offer as many
beautiful and attractive situations for res
| licences as can be found in any country
village in New England.
AT the annual district school meeting
held on Tuesday last in District No. l,
West Village, in addition to the usual
business before the meeting, resolution
was introduced looking towards the
building of new school house and
change of location. A committee of five
was appointed to ascertain suitable To-
cation for school house, also what
amount can be realized for the pres
emit house and lot, and report at an ad.
journed meeting to be held in two weeks
from that date. s..-.-. ~.-.- -....... .-..
The Methodist Sabbath School held

Mr.. Denker of Utica, N. Y, Deacon Jos

A Tree Killed by Gas-FIfiy Dollars
Damages Awarded,

In the Baltimore City Court on Sat
urday last, before Judge Scott, the case
Of Mrs. Egerton, l43 St. Paul street
against the Gaslight Company was
tried. 1t appeared that in the summer
Of last year she had growing in front
Of her premises an oak tree which had
been planted about eighteen years, and
was healthy, vigorous tree. Suddenly,
without any apparent cause, it lost It's
foliage and died. 1t appeared that
about this time there was strong smell
Of gas in front of the premises, and
upon examination a leak in the gas.
pipes was discovered The neighbors
all observed the smell Of gas and it
was the subject of annoyance and com
plant Several physicians living near
who We're examined as witnesses, de-
clarei it as their opinion that the gas
killed the tree. The evidence on this
point was clear, and no other cause was
shown. The Court gave judgment
against the company for fifty dollars

BALTIMORE.
Episcopal Convention.

BALTIMORE, October 20.-The morn
ing services were performed by Rev. j.
s. D. Herman, OF Nebraska; Rev. Aber'
crombie, of New Jersey, and Bishop
Payne, Of Africa. President Crank was
in the chair. The vestibule anu gal
lery OF the church was crowded with
spectators at an early hour. The COM
mittee on the State of the Church made
a report in which they say:
As contrasted with the previous trien'
MEL space, this last has been marked by
a signal exemption from loss in the
number Of deceased Bishops; the church
therefore has reason for gratitude that
so many OF our older Right Reverend
Fathers. while in some degree they are
disabled by age and infirmities from
filling the full measures Of their duty,
are spared to enlighten us by their
wisdom. The church in a majority Of
the dioceses is making steady and
healthy progress.
In some the growth has been rapid,
while in all are evidences OF higher
and truer appreciation Of her sacred and
important mission. They cannot, how
ever, close their eyes to the fact that in
the southern and southwestern dioceses
there is still great weariness and de-
preston, and the recovery ofthe Church
in thoae older Jurisdictions from their
great calamity and deep poverty has
been as rapid as was hoped and most
earnestly desired. AS an evidence Of
progress generally, the report mentions
great multiplication Of homes. hospi-
tails and other refugees for suffering hui
manity, and especially Of parish shoots
and educational institutions Of higher
order in connection with the Church.
The committee refers to the want OF
efficient lay discipline in the Church,
the need OF q higher standard Of per
sonal piety, earnest devotion, and self
sacrifice, among a class ofenrolled COM
who habitually y neglect the
blessed eucharist, and whose names are
allowed to remain on the parish reg
listers in the hope that they will re-
turn to better state of mind in regard
to unity. The report says that the
Church was never more united during
any period Of her national history than
at this hour
The committee recommended the
transmission ofthis report to the IIonse
of Bishops, with a request that the
prepare and publish pastoral
lettert O the Church.

Ovation to Captain KnowltOn.


GLOUCESTER, October 20.-Last nigh
the population turned out en- masse and
headed by the Gloucester Cornet band
marched to the Town Hall, which was
filled to its utmost capacity, to welcome
Captain Knowlton. The appearance oI
Captain Knowlton was the signal for an
ovation which would have done honor
to king.
The meeting was called to order by
A. F. Stocking, and benjamin Carliss
was chosen Chairman. Mr.. Carliss
made an address, giving the history of
the fishing dispute and the aggressiops
of the British and Colonial authorities
upon our fishing rights, ard defending
c4ew t4e afa1th n Tie rtstae S6nn as as
rightful He closed by presenting to
Captain Knowl;on, on behalf Of the
donors, a purse Of $1,000, the gilt Of his
fellow citizens, to enable him to defray
a portion of the expenses he had in
CURED. Captain Knowlton returned
thanks for the generous action Of his
friends, and as he assured them that he
was no speech-maker, Mr.. B. II. Smith
made a response for him, giving a
graphic description of the events con-
nected with Captain Knowlton's exploit,
which raised the audience to a high
pitch Of excitement. Captain Knowlton
was escorted to his residence by large
concourse of people, and it it was mid
night before the town resumed its
wonted quiet.
