Our community was shocked last
Saturday morning on hearing that Mi
chael Cade had been found dead in the
street. He was apparently in good
health Friday, and had worked some
for Judge Abbott, and left there about
half past six. Appearances indicate
that he returned late in the evening and
had attempted to enter the barn, but
fell near the door where his corpse was
found early Saturday morning. The
post mogtem examination disclosed a
diseased condition of the heart and the
presence of liquor in the stomach. The
deceased was an unusually strong young
man about % years of age, son of Moses
Cade of this place.
The States attorney was here Tues
day and four young men were arrested

in an unfortunate time as regards

A Mean Trick.

The marriage notice of A. w. Wilson
of Passumpsic, as given in this paper
last week, was forgery. The notice
came in due form, signed by "H. c.
Wilson," The object of this petty
meanness does not know any lady of
the name given, and did not know he
had an enemy in the world who would
perpetrate so contemplate trick.

inst, at the school hall. There were
present the pupils of both schools, with
their teachers, with many of the parents
and friends. Music on the organ by
Mary Fisher, eleven years of age, ac-
campaigning gospel songs. Quartetts
and marches made the welkin ring.
Many tokens of remembrance were
given, and wishes of many happy re-
turns of the day, and congratulations
expressed. The reception being sur
prise was quite complimentary to Miss
Nelson, as this is her first term in the
village, although she has taught several
terms in an adjoining district.

Suicide.

Suicide.
Miss Emily M. Powers, aged 16 years,
daughter of j. w. and A. c. Powers,
living on Portland street, committed
suicide last Monday night, by drowning
in the Passumpsic river, just below the
bridge. Miss Powers was attending
school at the academy, and had been
at school during the day, but had COM
planned of not feeling well, but exhibit
ed no signs that caused suspicion at her
home of the act she committed. About
half-past six she put on her shawl and
remarked that she was going over to
Mr.. Crosby's, a neighbOr who had
daughter with whom she was in the
habit of studying her lessons; but she
did not go there, but went directly to
the river, passing down the embank-
ment and leaving her shawl on the
bank, waded out through the shallow
water to the channel of the river and
sunk in the deep water. She was seen
before she sunk by Miss Mary Thomp-
son, who lives at Mr.. Howe's on Port
land street, and Miss NoOnin and her
small brother, who were on their way
over to the village. just as they got
on the end of the bridge they heard a
splashing in the water, and having
lantern they held it over the side of the
bridge and saw Miss Powers's face be-
fore she finally sank, but could not tell
in the darkness whether it was man
or woman. They at once gave the
alarm and help was soon upon the spot
with boats, but it was something like
half an hour before the body was re-
covered and all efforts at resuscitation
were without avail. When the alarm
was given, some one went to Mr..
Powers's for lantern, saying some one
was in the river, and Mrs. Powers at
once exclaimed, sit is Emily" but she
does not know what made her say
so as she had not had the least thought
of such thing previous.
The case is most singular one, as
the young lady was of cheerful nature
and most dutiful child, and OF bright
intellect. She had been receiving the
attention of a gentleman OF this place
for the past year or SO, of which her
parents did not fully approve on ac-
count of her age, telling her they pre-
ferred she should wait until she was OF
suitable age, and that if she was Of the
same mind then they had no objection,
in which wish she seemed to acquiesce
but it is thought that this matter IN

Sabbath evening, the South church
was again packed, and an overflow
meeting of about 700 persons was held
at Academy Hall. In both places. there
must have been nearly two thousand
people. After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Jones
and singing by the choir, Mr.. Sankey
said he had little song to sing to the
fathers in the audience, and gave the
touching request of dying Willie. Mr..
Moorhouse took his text from the Goth
verse of the second chapter of Gala
tians: +" :. who loved me, and gave
himself for me-" He said he thought
this the sweetest verse in the whole
bible. John third, sixteen, was pre-
cious verse ''For God SO loved the
world,n ETC., but the text was more
precious-that was the aUOrld this is
me-who loved me, individually, "and
gave himself for me-" This was one of
the most earnest and powerful sermons
the evangelist has yet given here, and
WAS llSIGuGu W Will OhC SiOSOCo ootOh-
ton. At its close Mr.. Sankey sung
''The Prodigal Child" The overflow
meeting was conducted by local clergy
men and lay men, and Mr.. Sankey took
part in that also.
At the afternoon meetings this week,
Mr.. Moorhouse has taken up the book
and character of Ruth. Most interest
ing and instructive have been all these
services.
On Monday evening Mr.. Moorhouse
preached from l Peter ]: 19-''the pre-
cious (priceless) blood of Christn-which
the speaker called the five sweetest
words in the bible. He said wherever
the blood of Christ was spoken of, it
meant his death; and while some think
the Old Testament treats only of the
law, all but three of its books speak of
Christ's death. Mr.. Sankey sung with

TwEED's PROMISE.


The confession concludes with
promise that the writer will be a wit
ness for the city in any suit brought
by the city COR the recovery of moneys
from any of the persons mentioned.
He does not ask that the suits against
him be qnashed, but that he be re-
leased from confinement without bail
Tweed's counsel says that since his
troubles most of those whom he had
looked upon as his friends in his palmy
days had held themselves aloof from
him, while many of them had been
loudest in their denunciation of him.
He asks nothing further from them,
and does not propose to recognize any
further claim upon him for silence.
Townsend further says that if the
Attorney General accepts Tweed as
witness for the people he will find him
as faithful to the prosecution as he
has heretofore been to his associates
and confederates in the ring frauds.
HUGH HASTINGS EXPLAINS.
The published abstract of Tweed's
SO called confession contains this sem
tence: "He gave to Mr.. Hastings a
check for $50 900 dated three or four
days after the passage of the charter
of 1870, with the understanding that
the money was also to go to Senator
Woodin." Mr.. Hastings, who is the
well known editor and proprietor OF
the Commercial Advertiser, says in ref
erence to the above paragraph that
the affair was purely business trans
action, the check being made payable
TO his order, and passing through the
hands of his banker and broker in a
legitimate way. Had the transaction
not been entirely proper, of course 1t
would have been easy for them to get
Tweed to send the check to the bank,
and obtain bills. Mr.. Hastings en-
phatically denies that upon any occa-
sion money passed through his hands
to Senator Woodin to secure his vote,
or for other purposes.
Referring to the meeting of Gould
and Tweed, Mr.. Hastings says he did
bring them together, as he believed
they had some differences, but at that
time Tweed was considered very
respectable man, and was associated
in business matters with the most EN-
inent citizens.
