short and bloodless; for these coons, like
Dayy Crockett's, would have waived all
hostile measures, and made an uncondi-

blows with hammer on the Uranium. All
of the Corporsl's ducks, four in number

worlds to conquer, ii is confidently believ-
ed that the coons would have killed more
ducks. had there been more to kill.
1t gives US great pleasure to record the
fact that the Corporal, after all, is not

laid his trophies at the feet of Vulcan, the

The sad and une xpected death Of William

residence Of his father. aged - years. and six
months. has carried sorrow to the hearts Of all
IN this community VINO knew him well.
For several months be was employed in this
Office; and during that time be won our esteem
and friendship by his fsithfulness. industry
aud ob.islng character. All in the office also,
came 10 respect and value his acquaintance.
Although in feeble health and hardly able to
perform hi> duties, he still bore up. and up-
eomP!ainingIy did all that was required Of him.
Dlligent. straightforward. and honorable in
busine-s-plcasant, companionable and gentle
manly IN his daily intercourse with all, he
gained many friends. and by his correct habits
snd excellent character, he exerted over those
OF his own age beneficial influence.
Those who knew him. best, priced bis ac-
quaiutance and friendship the most highly.
For few months past, it was hoped that
the insidous disease, consumption. which had
fastened upon him, was Welding 10 the rally
ing powers Of youth and that he might live for
years, but within a week or.two. slight attacks
of hemorrhage of tie lungs awakened new
fears. On sunday night he retired in ususl
health, but al midnight was attacked with
bleeding again, and lived for only few mo
ments.
To hi family, who were devotedly attached to
him, the blow IS heavy indeed. and they have
the sympathy Of ali. They have beside the
sweet consolation of knowing that he was 4

Report of the Temperance League.

The fortnightly meeting Of the League was
held Monday evening. Dec. 49, President No
Donald in the chAir. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Mr.. Lyon. The first business before the
meeting was the election Of new officers.
Mr.. Hamilton JOY, chairman Of the committee
on nominations, made the following report.
For President, /. d. Jordan; Vice Presi-
dent,J. {. Chilcott; Secretary. j. II. Brim-
mer; Treasurer. J. g. Jordan. The new
President, however wished 10 be excused
from serving. and the Vice President pre-
sided. The nominations for Conference
Committee were VIM. o. Mcdonald, Rev.
VIM. II. Lyon, Rev. b. NJ. Mitchell, Mrs.
A. F. Greedy, Mrs. whitmore and Mrs.
Avery. Lecture and Finance Committee,
J. {. Chilcott. VIM. p. Joy, John d. Hop
kins. Mr.. Handy. Mrs. B. ii. Aiken. Mrs.
Hamilton Joy, and Mrs. Helen Clark.
President Mcdonald. on retiring from
the chair thanked the League for the kind
ness shown him. At times the work had
fallen on a few, but there were always
few who could be relied upon to help in
this temperance work. DR.. Ii. X. SWEET

! sponSe said this was a work in which he
/ had always been interested. and he rejoiced
to the traffic suppressed. Liquor

drinker. Ii caused diseases that were ln-
would meet with success surprising any
it had yet known.
Mr.. Abram Lord was called upon. also
Mr. Larkin. President of the St. J. T. A.
Society. both were excused until the next
meeting.
Mayor Grant in response to 4 call for re-
marks, referred to the work accomplished
/ by the League as beyond what was expect
ed. The only way TO see our success is
to compare the past and present. He
could remember Ellsworth when but a
small village; then afall the stores liquor
/ was sold; every one drank. Now those
that dealt in the poison did so as secretly
as possible. The traffic had become dis
graceful Mr.. Grant alluded to the remarks
made complimentary to the manner in
which he had filled the Office of Mayor; he
had endeavored TO be faithful to the duties
incumbent upon his Office.
Mrs. A. F. Greely was invited to address
the meeting, but declined. fearing the time
had not arrived when the League would
| appreciate the remarks of a woman.
Mr.. Lyon WAS encouraged by this meet
ing. 1t was inspiring to have speakers rise
from the audience, if only TO show their
sympathies were on the side of tight.
Hereafter there would be time for these
five minute speaehes. The speaker closed
by hoping all would feel the responsibility
that rested upon them. and realize that the
time had come for active work.
The meeting adjourned TO meet Monday
evening Dec. p. when Mr. Luther Benson
of Indiana. will address the people.
