CnesrER.-No great floral displays
were attempted on the LIST of May,
though few parties it is understood,
dug through the snow with pick.axe and

give Chester p. o. its mails at the same
hours it received them before "some-
body blundered," and made the prinei-
pal part of the town a side show.
Mr.. N. o. johnson has secured the
services of NJ Geo. Bowker long known
as the popular clerk of Robertson's Ho-

luxury and attention to be found in a
hotel.
On Friday eve, May LIST, the friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Silas F. Baldwin, to
the number Of about thirty, gave them
a surprise party and left with them nu-
merous beautiful, costly gifts of silver
ware, the occasion being the fifteenth an
niversary oil their marriage; the visit
was complete surprise to Mr.. and Mrs.
Baldwin but they deserved it. If we
had thought of in time we should have
been married fifteen years ago for it
seems to have been good year to be
married in but as it is we suppose we
can't date it back.

ANOTHER SHOOTING CASE. The last
case OF shooting comes from Burlington.
Jack Kane went into the house OF Geo.
Bills, somewhat intoxicated, with a gun
loaded with buck shot, which he pro-
ceeded to show off to Mr.. Bills and the
girl. While pointing it playfully at the
girl, the piece somehow was discharged,
and two shots struck her in the right
temple, one over the right carotid artery
in the neck and one over the lip. One
of those over the temple penetrated the
skull, and the shot is lost in the brain,
causing fracture of the bones of the
temple, and it is fearful fatal results will
follow. In this case there does not ap-
pear to be even the pretense that the
gun was not loaded.
The Burlington Free Press of We'd
nesday says that the condition of Caro-
line Bills, the young girl SO carelessly
shot by Kane was slightly improved
Tuesday evening, and there are faint
hopes of her recovery She is bright
girl, and was an attentive member OF
Miss Julia Keeler's class in the Sabbath
School of st. Pauls Church. Mr.. Bills
has been sadly afflicted. Within a year
he has lost son who was killed on the
railroad, and, but week ago, one of lis
children died Of pneumonia.
