Mrs S. A. Wiley of Rockingham gave an
interesting discourse at the church in Dan
by borough on Sunday last. Her manner
and way of speaking seem to appeal 10 the
hearts of her hearers, and at the close of
the meeting many "eyes in tears both
smiled and wept."
Mrs. Filera Hill has bed quilt which
she says contains rec thousand nine humid
and thirteen pieces.
Isaac Aldrch recently lost q valuable
COW by sickness.
Mr.. Oscar Remington, who is engaged in
the carpenter business at Brandon, has
been home on short visit.
Horace Britton we understand is now on
the sick list
We regret TO learn of the death of Mrs.
Leonard Paris of West Dandy. She was
q woman universally loved and respected,
and the sympathy of large circle of
friends lis extended to her family in this
their sudden bereavement. The funeral
services were feelingly rendered by Mrs. S.
A. Wiley.
AT last accounts Mr.. Albert Stafford OF
this place, who is under medical treatment
in Massachusetts, is not improving as fast
as the friends at home who are "waiting
and watching" could wish.

IINMoUTH.
School district No. of this town 10 q
fractional district and is composed in part
of the towns of Tinmouth, Wells and
Dandy. The school house in this district
waa the scene of disgraceful affair on the
even of July 81. 1t appears that school
of ~ weeks had been taught the present
season to the satisfaction of all, and some
of the parents we're DESTROYS of having the
school continued for few weeks longer,
and accordingly petition was duly pre-
sented to the clerk of the district and a
meeting warned Qo be held the 3lst) to see
if the Inhabitants would vote TO instruct the
committee to engage the teacher for few
weeks longer. But in this, as in other dis
tricts, there are some who are always op-
posed to doing anything to benefit
their neighborhood, and unwilling to help
educate or advance other peoples
children, unless they are to be benefited
themselves at the same time. This class
then set themselves 10 work to defeat the
project, and we'll knowing that it could not
be done by fair means, took the next
course. One or two were 80 active in the
matter that they rode night and day to
warn out the voters, and by talk and mis-
representation to influence them against the
project of having further school. There
was large and full attendance at the meet
Ing, aud the matter was defeated. Cider
had been freely used, and men had been ur-
fairly persuaded against their own interest.
"Roughs" had been brought in from other
districts to help the matter along, and there
was considerable noise and disturbance dur
ing the meeting, despite the efforts to main
tain order. The opposition was abusive
and riotous in their conduct, interfering
with the proper and legitimate business OF
the meeting, And greatly abusing the clerk
of the district 10 the discharge of his duties
Such proceedings should not be sanctioned
or allowed in a civilized community, and
those engaged in this riotous and disgrace
full affair should he taught better by The
law, under which the sacred rights of citi
zens should be protected.

1t is with intense feelings of sadness tina
we are called upon to record the death Of
Mrs. L G. Paris, which occurred at hel
residence Thursday morning, July 26, a
the age Of AZ years. Her death was very
| sudden and unexpected, although she ha(
been afflicted with disease for severa
years. Her health had been as good al
usual, and had been able to do her work
around the house. She retired as usual OF
Wednesday night, and about three O'CLOCK
Thursday morn ng, her husband wal
awakened by her making strange nois,
and upon enquiring what was the matter
she replied, ooh, don't know" being tn,
last &ords she ever spoke. She lived only
about an hour, despite all that kind friend
and loving hands could do. Her disease
was dropsy and jaundice, from which sht
has suffered much for several years. AL
though the change came Unexpectedly, fish,
was not unprepared for it, as her religion
10 which she had faith, had taught her thai
1t was not "all of life to live" here and thai
what we are taught to call death, to he
was merely change from this life, to
higher and nobier one beyond. She was
woman of many excellent virtues, kint
friend and neighbor, and an affectionat
wife and mother. Those who knew he
best loved her most, and many will mis-
! her, not only In the family where she wa
