Not long since a little girl residing in
this city was told by school mate that
UnitaTians could not be saved because they
had not been baptized; being much dis
turoed by the thought. she appealed To her
mother; on being told that IL was possible
for Cnitarisn 10 be saved. she asked, Iii
they have never been cdpsized? Perhaps It
Is with the view Of removing this obstruc-
ton TO the final salvation of their liberal
fIiends that oar city fathers neglect TO re-
move the ice from our sidewalks.
Our jewellers are prepared TO meet the

stock of goods ever opened in this city.
He calls especial attention TO his Japanese
Lacquer Ware which attracted so much at
tention at the Centennial.
A while ago the Franklin Liquor
Agency ordered quite q quantity Of liquor
OF Portland frm and stated upon what
vessel it was 10 be placed. The Portland
firm placed IL upon another vessel, conse-
quently it arrived at this place at time
the Franklin Ag't. was not expecting il.
Some one knowing about the liquor went
TO the vessel 10 the evening, ordered the
liquor and paid the freight 1t is report
ed that the vessel has been attached and 10
bed in payment for the liquor. Probably
the liquor taken by the supposed Agent Is
the cause OF the small leak mentioned in
our last issue.
