STAFFORD HOLLOW.

A boy aged II years, son of James
Curtis, was accidentally shot last
Sunday by his brother aged Is, re-
ceiving a charge of shot in the face,
neck and head, at a distance Of some
three rods. They were in the woods
in pursuit of game, wheL a rabbit was
started, and the elder boy, seeing his
brothers head through the bushes, and
supposing, in the excitement of the
moment, that he had the rabbit sure,
DISCHARGED his gun with the above
result. DIR. Bugbee was called and
decided that the left eye was hopeless
~ injured, but that otherwise the effect
would not be serious, with proper care.
Another warning of the danger of fire
arms in the hands of boys.

WENTWoRTH's LOCATION.

The season has been quite backward
but we have been having a few day;
of very fine weather Of late and the
grass is looking finely. There has
been bat very little rain this spring,
consequently the rivers are not as
high as usual at this time of the year.
However, Mr.. Brown (of the Berlin
Mills Co. has got his "drive" out OF
Diamond, so also have Flint & Stunt
evant. Mr.. Browns crew are at work
getting their logs off the Aziscoos
Falls, where they are piled in fearful
"jam" and it is very risky business
"breaking" them off. There was Il
man drowned last Sunday while at
work on the liam" it started leaving
three of the men on some loose logs,
two of them jumped for the shore and
so saved themselves, while the other,
Mr.. Abraham, or "Jack Abram" as he
was called, was thrown into the water
where it was rushing and toaming at
q fearful rate and Immediately disap.
peared. Search has been made for his
body but without success so far. ~

The warm weather of the past few
days has caused the streams on the

There is no preaching at the Meth
odist house as yet, and the congrega.
ton at the new Congregational house
was rather slim last Sunday, in con-
sequence Of the great rush to hear
Mrs. Paul, the Spiritualist.
Mrs. +. L. Paul of Stowe, VT, has
been engaged TO preach here during the
summer months, we listened to her
discourse last Sunday and can truly
say that we never heard more elo-
quent speaker in our life. The Court
House was packed to its utmost capa-
city, and at the risk of being called
a Spiritualist we shall say that Mrs.
Paul has an excellent voice and pro-
nounced her discourse in fine style,
managing,by her clear enunciation and
happy illustrations, to gain the atten-
ton Of her large audience, and hold 1t
in pleasant subsection to the close.
Furthermore We can't see what the
trouble is with her doctrine, as we
understand her; we think that the
most of mankind will be glad to
avail themselves of her doctrine, af-
ter they get into the world to come,
if not before.

Tweed thought he would never be convicted.
or he would have followed the flight of Connolly,
