Averll:
Here in the mild October day
While golden leaves are on the sward,
Clear golden chimes begin to play
NUbin our hearts IN sweet accord.
And wedding bells from far away,
Are ringing down the years serene,
Binding past and present day,
That fifty antumns fall between.
And many friends are gathering here,
| To honor worth and love and truth
In Faithful hearts that many year
Have kept the honest vows OF youth
For now their Indian Summer falls,
With gold of leaf and ripened grain,
And sunlight on the low, home walls,
Wherein calm joys for age remain.
A Golden Weddlng-It is well
The gold of many hallowcd years
| Is in these lives where sorrow fell
And rpened virtues with her tears.
| Six hundred mellow moons have shed
| Soft radiance on their welded way;
Ten thousand days of sun have fed
| The gladness that dcfes decay.
| Then ring, o bells,-your low refrain
Mid louder songs is sweet to hear;
Would that the world of greed and gain
Might pause and learn your meaning clear
| Might learn, that kindly honest loves,
In quiet homes by hill and lea,

The Recent Fire.

The Recent FIRE.
The destruction of the steam mill OF the kenne-
bee Land & Lumber Company of this city, will be
severely felt in the business Of the place. The
mill would have been shut down in the course Of
y few weeks, however, had not the fire happened
and most of the men transferred to the woods, to
secure the usual amount Of lumber. The mil at
the dam may possibly start up, though that is de-
signed more especially fer local trade, and to meet
the domestic demand for lumber. There is small
prospect of rebuilding the mill at present, as saw
mills are not paying institutions now while
lumber is drug in the market
As stated in our former article, large lot OF
valuable lumber in the yard was saved BY the cx-
ertions of the fremen and others. The iiremen
were served with Refreshments by Col. j. NJ.
Haynes and Ira H. Randall, in behalf Of the COM
pany. Some the workmen met with individual
losses. Mr.. d. G. Baker lost chest of tools MIR.
VIM. Wing, Jr. lost chest of tools valued at 1928.
The upper part of the building was used for stor-
age purposes. Ira d. Sturgis, Esq, S. s. Brooks
and Others lose valuable sleighs and carriages.

on Friday last, the attendance the Sunday
schools of the town was reported as 4l2 The
whole number Of children under age in town is SS7,
showing about one-haf the children to be under
Sunday school instruction. This includes the
Roman Catholic Sunday school at North Vassal-
boro', which was duly reported at the convention
IS having seventy five scholars. The largest Sun
day school in town is at North Vassalboro', under
the superintendent of Geo. Carleton, who was
reported as rather a model superintendent The
next session will be at North Nassalboro'.
We are glad to learn that the injuries received
BY Mr.. Herbert l.. Beale at the recent fire, are
not likely to prove fatal, and that there is now
good prospect of his recovery. The sknll was not
fractured, but there was a slight confusion Of the
brain. The patient regained his consciousness
Saturday morning, and has retained it since; and
although suffering severe pain at times, is able to
sleep some. He has not yet been removed to his
home from the house into which he was carried
after the accident occurred The left side OF his
head and face are swollen badly, though there are
no flesh wounds. 1t appears that in falling, the
mast Of the derrick struck against board pile,
breaking the force of the blow, and afterwards
struck Beale. Had it fallen upon him with full
force the blow would have proved instantly fatal.
The Lewiston journal says that on Friday, in
the survey Of the Lewiston & Augusta Railroad,
Engineer McClintock and his force were a mile
that side of Days Corner, South Monmouth. The
line surveyed thus far from Lewiston follows
near the line of the Maine Central to Clark's brick
yard, then turns to the left, crossing near Isaac
Tarr's and James Carvlie's; thence into Webster,
crossing the town road near the house of Phineas
Spofford; thence earterly across the Sabbattus
stream near the southerly portion of the Sewall
Moody and Captain Peter Garcelon farms to the
valley through which the small stream runs. that
has its source at the Sand Spring, and near the
road which runs from Sabbatusville to IFallowell.
Thence up and near the last mentioned stream.
crossing the Hallowell road near the intersection
of the Litchfeld Corner road. Thence north OF
Henry Wrigh,'s and Harding Lombard's in Wales,

vigorously, and with his present force will soon
scGmplete the preliminary surveys of the road.

A Storm OF Ice.

From the Denrer Neus.
At Potter station, on the Union Pacific
Railroad, on Friday night, train was just
pulling ont from the station when storm
commenced, and in ten seconds there was
such fury of hail and wind that the en-
gineer deemed it best to stop the locomo-
tive. The hailstones were simply great
chunks of ice, many of them three and four!
inches in diameter, and Of all shapes
squares, cones, cubes, &c. The first stone
that struck the train broke window, and
the pying glass severely injuring lady on
the face, making deep cut. Five minutes
afterward there was not whole light of
glass on the south side of the train the
whole length Of it. The windows in the
Pullman cars were Of French plate, three
eighths Of an inch thick and double. The
hail broke both thicknesses, and tore the
curtains into sllre'ls. The wooden shut
ters, too, were smashed, and many Of the
mirrors were broken. The decklights"
on the top Of the cars were also demolished.
The dome of the engire was den1ed as if it
had been pounded with heavy weight,
and the wood work on the south side Of the
cars was ploughcd as if some one had
struck it all over with sliding blows from
a hammer. During the continuance of this
terrific fusilade which lasted fully twenty
minutes, the excitement and fear among
the passengers ran very high. Several
ladies tainted, and one lady Mrs. Earle
wife of the superintendent Of the Mountain
division Of the road, went into SPANS,
from which she did not recover for over an
hour after the cessation Of the storm. Sew
eral persons sitting on the south side Of the
cars were more or less injured about the
head ard face.
Az soon It, the storm abated little, the
mating in the cars was hung up in front OF
the windows, and the train moved ahead
the drfted hailstones proving an obstacle
for some miles. At the next station, strips
of tin were procured and fastened over the
windows the entire length of the train.
The cars have been run into shops for re-
pairs, and the damagexwil amount, it is
estimated to s9veral thousand dollars.
