Mr.. EDITOR .-Diphtheria has for some weeks
been raging IN this vicinity, to quite an alarming
extent, there having been feur or five deaths.
There has been nothing in this vicinity since the
war, that has thrown such gloom over the en-
tire neighboihood, as the death of Mr. Thomas
Bakers two children, by this much dreaded dis
ease. And what makes this case seem sadder vet
they are the last of seuen children. Mr.. Ba ,
her has also buried two wives, father mother, and
all his brothers ana sisters, leaving him alone in
the world, excepting his present wife, mother of
the last two children. She is a noble, CHI istlan
lady. beloved by all who know her, and MIR. Ba.
ker is too well known to need any comments from
me. They both bear up under this great affi

Paralysis of the heart setting in, she passed away

be sick from their constant care OF them. Mr. Ba-
ker and wife had one child sick In one room and
the other in an adjoining room, and knowing that
the younger must die, although they had hopes OF
the Older one, vet they wished to appear cheerful

Kennebec County Lodge.

The quarterly session of Kennebec County
Lodge |. O. G. T.. was held with China Lake
Lodge, at China village on Thursday OF last week.
The meeting was presided only by State Deputy
H. NJ. Bryant Of Lewiston. The chair of W. o.
was filled by Mrs. Hodgdon of Waterville, and
Secretary BY Miss +. VI. Brainerd OF China
Reports from various lodges in the county in
dicacd good working cOud ition, and some were
especially so. A majority of the lodges IN the
county were not reported, fact of regret. we
cannot form reliable judgment of the state and
efficiency of the Order, from returns of few
lodges. Judged by such as were heard flom, the
interest in the work is good, but forming An opin-
ion from the lack OF delegates and non-recepuon
of reports from The ms loIity OF lodges in kenne
bee county, the interest is small. Bat that IS not
fair criterion as the bad travelling, and distance
from many of the lodges very naturally tended to
light attendance.
The County organz alton was formally dissolved,
and a District Lodge formed under the new
district constitution adopted at the last session f
the Grand Lodge. e. j. Toward of WaiervIlle
was elected ID. w. c. T., and full board of oh
GERS. The next meeting of the District Lodge
will be held at Waterville, at which, being the an
nual meeting, new set of officers Will be chosen.
A committee on resolutions, composed of Mes
srs. Heath Cold Water Lodge, Weeks Mills,
A. II. Burrill. of Loyal Band Lodge, No. Vassal-
boro', and +. o. Brsneid of China Lake Lodge.
China, reported a series of resolutions that were
our faith in the progress and success of Good
Templars, urges the members of the order to work
to reclaim others by personal appeals as well as
public position and examples, and call for come
amendment to the present law to prevent the com.
mon practice of public and private conveyances
carrying and delivering liquors.
In the evening, publ meetif g was held at
the NJ. +. church, which was filled. Rev. &. Is.
Besse, of No. Nassalboro, who WA announced A.
one Of the speakers, was unfortunately unable
from sickness to give an adde's II. NJ. Bryant,
Esq, Of Lewiston, addressed the sndcnce for
about one and one fourth houis, AMI certainly
gave us as good TEMPERANCE speech as we have
ever heard in China wi age. 1t was sound, argu
mentative, ana common senae, and the people
were all highly pleased. We hespeak for Mr..
Bryant cordial welcome from temperance people
wherever he may be sent.
AT the close of the lecture eight persons were
initiated into China Lake Lodge, and the follow
ing evening SIX more, composed OF some OF the
best citizens of the place. On the whole this ses-
sion of Kennebec County Lodge a success /;
that it will bear fruit We have no doubt. May its
successor, as embodied in the new district lodge,
be much more successful.
