The old Indian Chief Louis Annance,
whom many of our towns-people will re-
collect, died at Grecnville Me. Dec. 10,
at the age of 50 years. He was a gradu-
ate of Dartmouth College and is said to
have possessed rare business tact, but
preferreda life with his tribe over which
he was for many years chief. He was ear
ly made mason by the North Star Lodge
of this place, which Lodge has helped him
in time of need. He leaves a wife and
three children.
As William Clough was passing the
house of VIM. J. Hartman, on his way
home from the village last "wednesday,
hiss horse became frightened by report
occasioned by Mr.. Harriman's hastings
a log with powder, and ran the sleigh
against log that was lying within the
limits of travelled highway, upsetting
it. Mr.. Clough was dragged under the
sleigh some six or eight rods before he
could stop his horse, getting pretty badly
bruised in consequence.
We are glad to learn that arrangements
have been made with Capt. McKelvey of
Portland, Me-, reformed inebriate, to
lecture upon the subject of Temperance,
at the Town Hall next Sunday night. The
reports of Capt. McKelvey's lectures else
where are very fatterlng and we have no
doubt he will accomplish good work
here. As u result of IFS labors in Little
ton, recently, reform club was organic
ed composed largely of those who were
addicted to the use of the ardent spirits.
| We trust the lecturer will receive that en-
enlargement from our citizens which the
cause he advocates SO richly merits.
