BoNpyIIIE.
Your correspondent, Of this place,
has been remiss Ia not noticing the splen-
did garden raised by Mrs. Crawford AM
edon this season. When lady takes hold
with her own hands to force mother earth
10 give forth her bounty in such splendid
beels, cbbbages, iurnips, etc, think she
deserves public recognition. Besides
these, understood she has raised eight
or ten bushels Of onions, and taken care,
and good care, OF large family Of chill
dTeu 4 thorough, energetic woman you
will, doubtless say. "She looketh well
to the ways of her household, and eateth
not the bread Of idleuess Her children
aud neighbors rise up aud call her
blessed"
Mrs. Morgan has been sick for some
three or four weeks, but we are happy TO

pleted an addition to his store.

CHESTER.
Another of the cd settlers of Chester
Mr. Rufus Williams, died at his residence
Oh Thursday of last week. Uncle Ruius,
as he was familiarity known, was IS years
of age.
Mile Bertha Bronsil, an eminent
violinist, assisted by Mr., j. Q. Ioyt,
flushed pianist aud Mrs. f. G. Noble,
elocutionist, gave an entertainment at
Coles Hall, Thursday evening. Mile
Bertha's performance was the best of the
kind that Chester ever had. Mrs. Noble
is our own towns woman, and we claim
that her attainments as atreader are
second to none in the profession. Mr..
Hoyt is undoubtedly superb pianist,
but it was matter of regret that our
blacksmith couldn't have had the town
concert piano mended up. The sounds
that eminated from that care worn con-
Germ would have made man o. war break
her moorings, twas worse than n step
mothers seolding.
Effort is being made to raise $3.50 for
the purpose Of engaging Prof. Herrici of
Bangor Seminary, to deliver a series of
lectures, entitled Notes of Foreign Travel.
Our fire company had parade on
Saturday afternoon and an oyster supper
