The annual meeting of the Coos
and Northern Grafton Bible Society
was holden at the Congregational
Church in this town on Thursday,
June 4th. There was \ goodly num-
Der in attendance, Notwithstanding
the threatening clouds indicated wet
time. The forenoon was occupied by
Rev. Mr.. Milliken of Littleton, in an
able address upon the efforts now be-
ing made to circulate the Bible in
countries that are destitute, and more
particularly of the noble efforts of
Miss Rankin, in first introducing it
into Mexico. Perhaps it may not be
generally known that Miss Rankin is
a native of Littleton and spent her
earlier life in that town, preparing
herself for her life long calling teach
ing and missionary work. After
choosing officers for the ensuing year,
the meeting adjourned to the Town
Hail where the good ladies had pre-
pared an abundant collation. of good
old fashioned baked beans and brown
bread with all needlul "fXins" which
was partaken with good deal of gus
to. Having satisfied the wants of the
inner man they repaired to the church
and occupied Il short time in praise
meeting, much to the satisfaction of
the people present. Rev. Mr.. Eakins
Of Whitetield then preached an able
and instructive sermon upon the Bible
as the only sure guide to the Christian
in his journey toward heaven, and al
50 as the compass by which the uncon-
verted, if they will follow its teach
ings, may find rest at last. Rev. Mr..
Wiley followed in brief remarks show
ing the progress of the work in N. ii.
Rev. Messrs. Emmons and Moves,
then addressed the children present.
We all felt that it was good to be
there.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-Our colnmuni-
ty was startled on Tuesday of this
week by the intelligence that Leandcr
ID. Parker Of this place had been kill
ed by the cars at East St. Jonsbury.
The circumstances attending the
melancholy accident are these: Mr..
Parker, who was man of poor health,
having been unable to labor much
for the last half dozen years, went
down to East St. Johnsbury, on a
had car with the section men, in the
morning, to transact business, and
having completed it, was waiting for
an opportunity TO return home.
An extra tram on the p. d O. road
was run up from st. Johnsbury to
East St. Johnsbury in the afternoon
to bring up people to attend the con-
ference OF Congregational churches, in
session there. After the people com
ing on the train had got out, the cars
were run up past the depot a little
way and then back again to get in
position for returning, during which
time Mr.. Parker was standing at the
end Of the platform of the depot, and
AS the cars moved slowly past him,
he, for some unaccountable reason at
tempted to get on board the train,
probably foI the moment forgetting
all about the platform of the depot,
which projects so as TO be within
some seven inches OF the side of the
cars as they pass it. He was drawn
into the narrow space, and crushed
SO that he lived but short time.
Conductor Ranney had the train i'm
mediately run up to West Concord,
to bring him home, but he died before
arriving there. Mr.. Parker leaves a
wife and three children to NOUN his
sudden death. The funeral was at.
tended on Thursday by the Rev. Fl
w. Worther, ofthc Methodist church
and the large number iii attendance
testified to the sympathy which the
family have in this their affective
bereavement.
Milan Smith, who was nearly kill
ed while grading at East Concord
last January is yet alive, but there il
no prospect of his ever getting up
has no feeling below the break in hi!
back. his wife presented him witt
a pair of twins Sunday, the Sd, on
boy and one girl. The town of Con
cord is now paying 500 per month t,
get him and his family cared for
having now four children.
Other items were received too LAT
for insertion this week.
