SAXToNs RIvER.-lf any one doubts
that Saxtons River is not lively bust,
ness place, and that they keep up OF
down with the times, let them examine
our advertising columns If money
doesn't circulate there il will moi be the
fault OF the business men of that place,
especially of those engaged in trade.
The Glynns give further reduction
of figures and on Friday afternoon of
this week will sell variety of store goods
at auction.
III. G. johnson is making speciality
of -four and the figures he gives for some
other things will certainly be found very
humane.
Col. Butterfeld, we believe is latest
from market, and also announces reduc-
ed rates. Our Saxtons River friends
are thus bound to conquer both panic
and stagnation, and as one hundred
copies of the "TIMEs" goes into that wide
awake village every week, some FIVE
hundred people will have an opportunity
to see how it is done in twenty-four hours
from this, Thursday, afternoon.
The public examination of teachers
for the town of Rockingham will be held
at the school house in Saxtons River,
on Saturday, Nov. Odd. If the teachers
are not then present it will be adjourned

physical strength up to recent period.

Joseph Leach died Nov. 1lth, aged
~ years and one month. For more
than 20 years as merchant at Saxtons
River, and after that as the largest land
holder in the town, and prosperous
farmer, he passed through life man of
unquestioned integrity. II was through
his energy and benevolence in con-
nection with that of John Campbell
and Deacon S. Sabin, that the Con-
gregational church at Saxtons River
was built; the deceased furnishing about
one-third of the means and working day
after day himself till the building was
completed. For more than thirty years
no man did more for the support and
maintenance of preaching. After suf-
fering consciously nearly every hour for
more than three weeks in great patience,
cared for and watched with by all his
children and by them alone, he died with
the Christians peace and hope, entering
into the rest that remaineth to the
people of God"

am represented as having said "that pa.

misunderstood me. The medical gentle

did not SO interpret my language besides,
I would have all authority against me, If
I occupied such an extreme position.
But did state "that path ologlcal LESSONS
indicative of Inflammation were rarely
