lnan lectureu upon the rive Great Gap
itals Of the World, at the Baptist Church
on the 2Sth ult. believe however, the
speaker gave general satisfaction. Their,
is no question as to the gentleman's thor
ough scholarship and culture. We are
proverbial for entertaining Palestine pan
Dramas and "Notes of Foreign Travel,
as not many of us are able to get the
chores done up in season to go over there
and see for ourselves, besides, as com.
munity we have been fed upon this solid
upright, square-cornered literary ration
until we sometimes feel that we can bolt
nothing else. " Jerusalem and its Sur.
roundings will be presented tonight,
Tuesday at the Congregational Church
and We expect the Professor will be
greeted by full house.
An item is floating about the State to
the effect, that 40 years ago young
man living in Chester, did then poor,
unfortunate woman some kind office, for
which she recently threw ten thousand
dollar bill at his head. Since that item
appeared our young men in INDECENT cir
cumstances have been looking after poor
girls with view to creata a similar en-
dowment fund for themselves. The plan
generally adopted is for two young men
to start out for our quiet and dimly light
ed streets and alleys, one precedes the
other, pounces upon the unsuspecting
victim (who is also poor now but will
turn out mint in 40 years. lifts her up
and hangs her on picket fence, partner
comes breathlessl y to the rescue, replaces
the poor girl upon her feet, takes need
lie and thread and mends her torn gar
ments and gives her his card. The viii
liam of course, shares the $4,000 with
his gallant accomplish but this thing
has gone about far enough and if it is
not stopped soon we shall publish names.
Seriously though, we have inquired of
every ten thousand dollar man in town
if he obtained his money in the way in
Dictated, and they say no, that they came
by it honestly. If, however, such luck
ever did overtake a Chester man, it is
more likely that it was owing to his u.s.
ing bludgeon over the head of some
lovely step-mother, and then codiciling
the will to his advantage. Honest old
Chester don't indulge in romance, not
much of any.
As an offset against the present cheer
less weather, bringing in its train depres-
sion of spirits and lamentation over the
summer harness, we invite the citizens of
Chester (female citizens to call upon
Mrs. John L. French, inspect her stock
of seasonable millinery, comprising ele-
CANT trimmed hats and all sorts of head
gear, goods and artificial flowers enough
to stock a flower conservatory. Mrs.
French is also agent for the sale of But
tricks patterns has lady from the
great metropolis to assist her in the
adornment of her customers. Why, to
look in upon this collection of beautiful
lady togglery almost makes up for the
loss of the rich and enchanting autumn
nal glories, just past. D.
The Chester House having been sold,
a benefit supper was given to mine host
Ingraham on Wednesday evening of last
week. There was a good attendance,
the brass band who gave enter
tanning music. 1t was one of Ingra-
hams famous suppers and much enjoyed
by all present.
T. T. Farwell of Boston has bought
the Chester Huuse at Depot Square for

A grand ball is announced at Coles

And now it is stated abroad that |
:" A Chester lad of Is stole $4,000 from
his father last week, and busted" He |
was caught at Bellows Falls" Are the
fathers numerous in Chester that have
s8000," laying round loose for their
boys to run away with, or is this another
incident of 40 years ago?"
