has been absent some five years, not having
been home since he entered Middlebury
coilege: We are not surprised he antici-
pates his visit with great interest, mingled,
perhaps, now and then, with just as par
donable streak OF impotence. Our worst
wish for him is that he may have "high
old time" In the proper and best sense of
the phrase, while away, and return at the
appointed time hale, hearty and sound as q
roach, to again assume his duties as princi-
pal OF Black River academy, to continue at
least for a long, and, what will be as well,
very indefinite period.
The GLOBES notice of the death and fu-
neral services of Rev. Kittridge Haven of
Shoreham, brings TO mind an Incident con-
nected with Sabbath service he filled at
this place some ten or fifteen years ago.
those who may have listened to Mr.. H.,
VIII readily recall his RAPID enunciaiion.
IL so happened that he had just had new
SET OF false teeth at the time in question.
IL was observed that after commencing his
discourse every once in while he placed
MS hand to his mouth as though trying to
| adjust his upper teeth. Becoming some-
what engaged with his subject he apparent
ly forgot his unrulY molars for moment,
when all at once The entire set came about
two-thirds OF the way out of his mouth.
fortunately he was spry enough to catch
mem before they passed beyond his reach.
without the least apparent embarrassment
ne remarked to the audience that he found
his set OF new false teeth extremely trou-
DleSome while speaking, and added, "by
| your permission, will lay them one side
| for the time being" and suiting the action
to the remark, he slipped the teeth just I'M
der the top OF the pulpit upon shelf,
and never broke the thread of his discourse
further than to make the remark 80 neces-
sary to make his action comely and in good
grace and what was very noticeable to
every one, he was not the least discon-
| certed, unusual as the predicament was in
which for the moment he was placed. Few
men had more imposing appearance in
the pulpit than Kittredge Haven, and none
more self possessed.
