In spite of the wind and storm, about
forty couple made their appearance at
the ball given at Harvey BENEFITS hotel
on the evening of the Goth ult. A bet
ter time for those who enjoy trip on the
eight fantastic toe has not been had
in Lowell for many a day. Everything
passed off to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned. Not drop of rum is kept
for sale at this hotel, and none was
brought from any other quarter, conse-
auently there was none of its sickening
fumes to faint the air, and disgust the
ladies of the ball room; and all went
away feeling glad that they had man
in their midst with ingenuity enough to
keep hotel without the aid of stimu
lants.
NEWPORT.
The dwelling house of Capt. G. W.
Fogg at West Derby, was destroyed by
fire last Sunday evening. 1t was dis.
covered about IL o'clock, but before
any one could get there the fire was so
far advanced as to sprevent the saving
of the building Captain Fogg was
away at the time, and his wife was at
tending the Sabbath School Concert at
West Derby. Fire was left in the stove,
and it is supposed that the fire original
ed from that or the burning out Of the
chimney. Only portion of the contents
| was saved.
Last Monday morning Mrs. John
Barry, living near the Coburn school
house, was found dead in her house
] Mr.. Barry has been away for some time
and Mrs. Barry for a few weeks past
has been living alone, the family which
occupied portion Of the house having
moved away. Mrs. Barry was at
neighbours on Saturday, and we under
stand walked to Newport Ceuter and
back that day. She was not noticed by
any of the neighbors on Sunday. Yes
terday morning there was no stir about
the house and the constant lowing of
the cow attracted the attention of the
neighbors. Mrs. Woodward going to
the house found the outer door fastened.
Upon further examination Mrs. Barry
was found lying upon the bed, dead.
AS she was dressed and from other ap-
pearances about the house and the low
ing of the cow, apparently from hunger,
would seem to indicate that she died
Saturday night; that after her return
from the Center she probably lay down
with her clothes on to rest and died
perhaps from oyer-exertion. She was
over 60 years of age, but apparently in
good health.-Erpress.
