lowing report:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Divine Provi-
dence to take from our midst our worthy
brother, Nathan Parish, and while we bow
in humble submission to the dispensation
of Him who doeth all things well, we real
ize in his death striking instance of the
uncertainty of life, and the vanity Of all
human pursuits. Therefore be it
Resolred, That in the death of Brother
Parish our lodge has sustained a loss which
time can never fill; and his wife a cOmpan-
ion, his children father, whose memory
will ever remain fresh in their affections,
thy and upright citizen.
Resolved. That we extend to the bereav-
ed family our heartfelt sympathy, and
while with them we mingle our tears OF
grief, we rejoice with them also, that he
finished his labors so well on earth, and
gained an abundant entrance into the
Grand Lodge above.
ResoIrsd, That in testimony of respect
for the memory of Bro. Parish, the lodge
be clothed in mourning, and that the Sec
retary present copy of these resolutions
to the bereaved family under seal of the
Lodge. G. G. VETS, Com

Our last article concerning Mr.. Cyrus
King and his protracted sickness is some
what in error wherein his former business
in this town is concerned. Instead of his
CARRYING on the mercantile, bookkeeping,
wooden manufacturing, &C., business, the
same was the business of G.. G. Gillett-
with whom Mr.. King co-operated so many
years of his early business life. Very many
of our middle aged and older citizens can
not fail to remember him in those years of
business activities. His condition at pres
ent writingis not much changed from what
it was before.
Our matrimonial affairs, despite the hard
times, exhibit considerable enterprise. On
the 9th ult., by Rev. S. L. Binkley, Mr..
Frank R. Tinker was married to Miss Ma
ry F. Gates, at the residence of the brides
father-Mr. John Gates
We now have winter in full force-every
prospect of fine sleighing as ever was
known. The wood men of south in our
border towns, can now have no excuse for
not hauling in the wood so devoutly prom
ised months ago. Don't snivel any longer
about hard times. Good times will be
brought about full as quick by fulfilling |
contracts as any other way.
Out of the presidential muddle comes
light to the Republicans. The clear wish
of the several States seems to be expressed,
out of which Hayes wins by one vote.
Rev. Williams, the new Baptist minister
here, preached his first discourse yester-
day.
Choral Union dime rehearsal probably on
the evening of Wednesday, Goth. Sessions
at Academy Hall on each Wednesday even
ing have become fully organized.
The next regular communication of
Orion Lodge F. & A. NJ, at this place is on
evening, Dec; 18th. at which
time an election of officers for the ensuing
year takes place.
Webster Post, G.. A. R., elects officers on
Tuesday evening, Dec. 18th. Hopes are
that this order may encircle every
soldier within range and perfect bond of
