attendance OF the sex was very large. The
bright paper edited and printed by the ladies in
their building, The New Century for Women,
submitted some rather tart remarks on the oc-

for her. II is not because she does not care foi
the elections, for she Is too much Of partisan
not to have her own candidates, but she has
nothing to do with the ballot-box, and knows

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.-On
Sunday last, about one o'clock p. NJ,
several boys and young men were bath
ing in the Passumpsic river nearly OPP
positc the cemetery. Several of these
had swan across the river, and David
Hall, Jr., who could not swim to any
extent, told the rest that he was going
to try to swim across, but they advised
him not to try, as they knew he could
not swim far enough. He told them he
should swim across OF drown, and start
eel across. He had gone but IL short
distance before he called for help, and
soon sank. Only one went to his aid,
and as he was not an expert swimmer,
he soon had all he could do to save him
self, 50 he was left alone. He came up
two or three times and then sank to
rise II" more. The boys ran to the vii
lage to give the alarm Rob Morse
went up with his boat and found the
body in about fifteen feet of water.
He dove in and soon brought it up.
Every effort was made to restore him
to life, but it was too late. His age
was about sixteen. Perhaps the most
painful part of the transaction is the
fact that he went into the water on the
Sabbath III direct violation to his IA
theirs command. 1t is to be hoped that
the lesson SO plainly taught may make
a lasting impression.
