what the best plan would be b. conduct re-
ligious meetings and lead young converts.
Let u hear what the Lord said 10 his disciples .
He said il is needful for me 10 go away. will
pray 10 the Father and he will send the comfort
er the Holy Ghost, which shall teach you all
things. We must set this down to be right and
the work of the Lord.
Let us look at the chrome way, 10 draw what is
called converts iron one society to another. A
Quaker asked a Methodist minister, which
would be the largest denomination in heaven.
He told him he was going to have meeting
and If he would come he thought he could tell
him. lie took his teXt-Then Peter said, per-
ceive God is no respectOr OF persons; in every
nation he that fears Him and works righteous
ness is accepted. He preached on a while and
stopped and asked: Father Abraham, is there
gationalists? No. BaptisisG No. Quakers?
No. Who is there? The text tells us.
Parents don't indulge your girls in pride.
IL you do your property will be apt to slide.
And they may be cOquettes
Marry some drunken dandy fop.
Don't let us be guilty of programmes or chromos,
to think we can conduct meetings or lead young
converts, but tell them to 90 to the Lord, even
all nations.
We would say we could take few court board
ers for seventy-iye cents day, and throw in
the beer. If any can do better you have a right
to, so go your way.
Checkerberry, dandelion, sarsaparilla, &C., is
what composes our beer.
The chemist says there isn't a teaspoonful of ar
dent spirit in pint of beer.
Good for bilious complaints, loss of appetite, and
for the cleansing of the blood.
But we must do this in the fear of the Lord.

Groveton.

OrOV0UOn.
A destructive fire broke out in this vii
lage on Saturday morning, the 14th ut
terly destroying Mr.. P. j. Toohey's new
hotel, the. Groveton House, blacksmith
shop owned by George Human and about
three hundred cords of wood belonging
to the G. T. r. r. company The fire
was first discovered and the alarm given
by the night Waterman at the railway de-
pot just opposite the hotel, at 80 A. NJ,
and in a few moments the flames were
seen issuing from the roof of the ell part
of the Groveton House about the middle
of the hall, where it is supposed the fire
started The inmates of the house were
soon aroused, and before the fire reached
the main building nearly all the furniture
and carpets had been removed. Had the
wind which was now blowing in wes-
terly direction continued, Mr.. Cobleigh's
store, standing only about thirty feet dis
tant, would certainly have burnt; but for
tunately its course changed toward the
south and the fire which had already
caught in several places on his buildings
was eXtinguished. BY this time the fire
had spread toward the south, destroying
the blacksmith shop and was making con
siderable progress in that end of the
wood pile next TO 1t. Efforts were now
made to save part Of the wood and stay

Since the death of conductor Whitney,
conductor ID. Pratt runs out of Portland
on Mondays instead of Island Pond, as
heretofore, taxing Mr.. Whitney's old
train. Conductor f. Partridge takes Mr..
Pratt's train, thus leaving vacancy on
the express passenger train, which is fill
ed by an old aud experienced freight con-
ductor, Mr.. Simon Stowell Island Pond.
Mr.. S. has run between ofIsland Pond and
this place for many years. He has been
apprenticed to the ways of this road Tor
twenty years or more, and is acknowl-
edged to be not only valuable and care
full railroad man but a gentleman well
adapted to bring himself pleasantly be-
fore the travelling public.
The cold, changeable weather of late
has caused much sneezing among those
who have no liking for inveterate snuff
takers.
1t has been our purpose, for some little
time, to speak of the improvements be-
ing made on Alpine ST., in the line of
building. There are in course of con-
struction four two-story mansions, which,
when completed, will be second to none
in our village. Three of these houses are
being built and are to be occupied by en-
ployes in the G. T. shop at this place
l. Heath, who unfortunately lost an eye
while serving as an engineer. By his
frugality and steadiness of habit, he has
managed to save sufficient sum to enable
him to erect pleasant house. He is de-
serving the more credit, because almost
all the labor thus expended has come from
his own hands. The days have been long
with him but he is now meeting reward
in adjoining the street with pretty and
substantial dwelling. The next house we
reach is owned by David Beveridge, one
of the finest as well as honest Scotchmen.
of our acquaintance. He zoo, like Mr..
Heath, from prudence, has accumulated
the necessary funds to put up fine resi-
dence. Mr. B. is hard working man and
a very clever citizen. 1t by the "wee
mites" which he has yearly laid by, that
enables him to help add to our towns val
uation, and make for his pleasant family
comfortable and enviabe home. The next
we come to is the house of Thos. Clifford,
I'd, which we find, by no means behind
those of the above named. If anything
our young friend "Tom" is rather trying
to out-do all the rest. Be this as it may,
he, too, is deserving credit for the public
spirit exhibited in placing at the foot of
Alpine street dwelling which will, when
finished, rank in style, beauty and
strength with any in our village. Tom is
no more fortunate than the rest, for it is
by the "sweat of the brow " he is enabled
to build. We congratulate our friends
upon the success thus far attained, and
hope their several homes may be abodes of
comfort and happiness to them through
life, as reward for their labors, while
we as citizens have reason to feel proud
of the addition to our village property
Mr.. N. w. Ordway is also building a
splendid house on the same street, nearly
at the head of it. He is sparing no labor
of hiS-as he is carpenter-to make his
mansion one of notice. He will succeed
in his efforts.

Charles E. Head, son Of John and Nancy
Head, died Oct. I'd, of typhoid fever, aged
about seventeen years. He was very
promising youth, and his early death is
lamented by all who knew him. The Re-
form Club, of which he was member,
passed the following resolutions, express
i've Of regret and sympathy:
Whereas, 1t has pleased our Heavenly Father,
in his all wise providence, to remove from among
us Brother Charley Head,
Resolved, That in his death we mourn a beloved
younger brother, whose uthfulness and earnest
ness in the cause Of right, gave promise Of future
usefulness and honor,
ResoLUed, That to his parents the members of
this Club tender their heartfelt sympathy, in this
time of heavy sorrow, and also the hope that He
who has sorely afflicted them will grant to them
that comfort and blessing which can come from
his merciful hand alone

Did you ever notice how big potatoes
multiply? l dug four Early Rose pota-
toes, from one vine, that weighed three
and one-half pounds, and thought I'd send
that item to the paper, though l didn't
suppose anybody would believe it, but
come to find out it's just no story at all.
Enoch Hibbard dug seven potatoes from
one hill-and that wasn't all of them
either-that weighed seven pounds. John
Newall dug three that weighed four and a
half pounds, and Gus Pbibrook had one
that tipped the scales at two pounds, ten
ounces.
Old farmers say that they hardly ever
saw an ear of corn that measured twelve
inches, but Gus Philbrook has good
many this year that are twelve inches
long.
Shelburnc has sent two to the Centen-
NAL, A r. Evans and Miss Fannie Phil
brook.

We have some men in town that are
workers. VIM. McGrath has cut and put
into the barn in good season, fifty tons of
nice hay, on the old Town Farm, with the
aid of TWO boys less than twelve years of
age and one months help of hand now
ing all done by hand. Beat that if you
can-with machine.
Some of our farmers don't seem to be
in any hurry about getting in their crops,
as Monday mornings snow storm found
several fields of potatoes and some apples
out in the cold, which must have laid cold
Sunday night. The best time to gather
crops is before the cold weather comes on
and before apples and potatoes get chill
ed. 1t is wonderful to see how some will
scratch about when the first snow comes,
and want to do amonth's work in one day,
while as long as it is pleasant they are
easy and contented as need be.

purchasing these tickets go via Eastern
