In MemOriam.

All win remember the death ef Alba c.
Nichols, son Of Luther A. Nichols, in the
later days of last autumn. He was stlick-
en- down in the sunny Gays of carly man
hood, leaving many friends TO mourn his
loss, yet greatest among those were his
parents. Brought from Lewiston, Me-,
where he was engaged in business, sick,
to his childhood home, hopeful Of the fu-
ture, yet, to die. Member of the large
"Rabboni Lodge" of Masons in that city,
he left behind many Masonic friends as
we'll as Others near and dear to him. BY
them he was not forgotten. The love
they bore him led them to claim the right
of burial with Masonic honors, which
favor was granted by his parents, and
many Masonic friends followed him as
mOuners to his last rest. BY vote of the
Rabboni Lodge, of Lewiston, bearing date
Dec. %, 1874, beautiful Memoriam
executed in fine penmanship, containing
the following expression of esteem was
presented to his parents:
Whereas, 1t has pleased our Heavenly
Father to remove from our midst our well
beloved brother, A. c. Nichols, and,
WheredS: Our brother cndcarcd him

of our departed brother and endcavor to
initiate his virtues.
ReSOlUed. That in this bercav ement, we

lptions be transmitted to his family with

The Starch factory owned by French,
Eastman, Libby & Gile, came near falling
with the weight Of snow and water oc-
casioned by the hard rains of Tuesday
night. The ncighbors turned out and
propped it up Wednesday. 1t barely
stands in Il damaged condition and it is
thought it will have to be taken down
as it has spread so far apart that it will
be impossible to get it into place again.
At ladies' sewing circle, at d. F.
Shows, the 10Th inst, there being several
gentlemen in attendance, the conversation
turned upon the robust looking lot of
ladies present, when it was proposed to
step across th' street to the store of J. G.
Bowker 6 Son and have them weighed.
When lady No. l stepped on the scales
the beam tipped at 1872. The remaining
seven weighed as follows: 1873, 1884, $50,
ia, ia, 1876, 1872, Now that is nothing
to what we can do by giving little
notice.
