Whole Indebtedness


Weddings.
Our local clergymen have been IN
usually busy the last week or two in
tying hymeneal knots, and this work
has not been confined to this locality
either. From the Lewiston, Me-, Jour
nal of the list, we find the following
which concerns one at least whom many
of our readers know: IA very pleasant
wedding party assembled at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Prescott, Auburn, at IL
o'clock to-day, to witness the nuptials
of Rev. Thomas Spooner, Jr., of North
Berwick, and Miss Clara Prescott,
daughter of the host and hostess. After
Rev. Dr.. Bowen had pronounced the
happy couple one and indivisible, hosts
of friends stepped forward with hearty
salutes which none who knew Mr. and
Mrs. Spooner, will believe to be any
thing but fervent on the part of their
friends, or anything but deserved on
the part of the newly welded pair.
Elegant presents in silver were left by
many friends. There were present the
friends and relatives of both parties to
this happy compact. We hear that Mr..
SpOOner's parishioners have very hospi-
tably furnished for himself and wife
pleasant parsonage at North Berwick,
in which they will take up their resi-
dence after the honeymoon trip to New
York;

The Abbott Failure.

Our Barnet letter gives the main facts
III the failure of Hon. j. D. Abbott, for
many years town clerk and treasurer,
and prominent business man of that
town. The sad features of this case are
rendered all the more sad by the knowl-
edge that at the present writing Mr..
Abbott is lying very i'll, with very slight
prospects of recovery. Added to con-
sumptive tendencies, and severe asthma
for the last year, he has now pneumonia
in both lungs. Mr.. Abbott is owing a
great many different people. He was
the trusted man of the place, and was
executor and administrator of a great
many estates, and it is supposed many
will lose in this way. We also learn
that thousand dollar bond left in his
charge as town treasurer for safe keep
ing, by Mrs. Blanchard at Norrisville
all the property the woman had-was
put Ill the Merchants bank in this place
as collateral, and that afterwards Mr..
Abbott raised money on it at the Gale
dOnia bank, Danville, where the bond
is now held. We are glad to learn fur
Their that since his severe illness Mr., A.
has said this bond was provided for.
Mr.. Abbott was director in the Mer-
chants bank in this place, which is re-
ported to have considerable of his pa
per. He was also owing Bartlett, Dan

evening last. The meetings have been
very full and deep interest manifested
by some which we trust will not abate.
A. P. and James Gilchrist, I'd, are
cutting large amount of lumber on
their lot. They intend to get 10000
into Hunts mill this season.
A. P. Gilchrist has been on the in
valid list for the past week, by reason
of an ugly cash in his hand from a
knot.
No cases of the scarlet fever outside
of Mr.. Holton's family, as yet. Howard,
although quite sick, is getting through
as well as could be expected.
The assessment by the Farmers Mu-
tual Fire Insurance Co., has caused a
good deal of dissatisfaction among the
policy holders here, and several have
cancelled their policies in that Com
paDy.
j. G. Kent is very sick with the
pneumonia. His physicians consider
his recovery doubtful.
There are some of Judge Abbott's
anxious creditors here. We hear that

Judge Buchanan, have each a ticket.

There was an outbreak among some
of Van Dyke & Merrill's mill hands on
Sunday last, which caused Deputy
Sheriff Smith to make dash on four
of them. One Mcdonald, thinking that
it was not good for him to be there,
took leg bail for the Granite State but
Smith was not to be trifled with, and
following him over with his posse, soon
bagged his victim.
A complaint was made on Monday
morning last to States Attorney Ide,
against Alex. Mcdonald for breach of
the peace, John Ramsdell for intoxica-
ton, Thomas McGIath for breach of the
peace, and John Carlton for intoxica-
ton. H. e. Belden and John w. Lewis,
Esq.,, came down to administer the law.
Judge Lewis thought that $40 and
costs each, was about the sum McGrath
and Mcdonald ought to contribute, and
that SIS each for Ramsdell and Carlton
would atone for their transgression of
the law.
Van Dyke & Merrill shut down their
mill Saturday night last. for the want
of ice. The weather has not been cold
enough to make the ice safe yet.

were well loaded with presents, and
after short speeches by Mr.. David Nor

singing, the presents were distributed,
and the company served with nuts,
candy, ETC., after which an hour passed
pleasantly in happy greetings. There
were 200 present. Caledonia Lodge re-
membered all the widows and orphans
of Odd Fellows in this vicinity with

A Notable Birth Day.

On the afternoon and evening of Mon
day last, the 3lst ult., the friends and
neighbors of James Works, ESQ.,, as
sembled at his residence to pay him
their respects, and more particularly to
congratulate him on his having attained
to his Goth birthday. Mr.. Works can
we'll lay claim to the honor of being one
of, and almost the coolest inhabitant.n
He was born at Westmoreland, N. H.,
1887, Dec. Both. There he remained
with his parents until he was nearly
81, when he went to Barton, VT, to
live with brother. He remained there
seven years. On July 9Th, 1915, he re-
moved to Waterford, and purchased
400 acres of land lying in Waterford
and st. Johnsbury, mostly woodland,
the site of his present farm. Shortly
after having made this purchase he
went away as he says "to make ar
rangements," and soon after returned
with wife. Miss Aldrich, afterwards
Mrs. Works, was well known to a whole
generation, for her sterling excellence
of character and most useful life. She
died in 1870.
Mr.. Works is regarded as grand old
man, and well preserved type of the
''sOlld men" of a former generation. He
has reared very fine family of five
children, four of whom are now living.
Many will remember Miss Addie Works.
the eldest, for she was rare woman
and not soon forgotten. She died in
'57. Another daughter married and
settled in Illinois, and has large and
interesting family; and still another
! daughter, the wife of Dea. Charles Nor

Insurance Suit.

torneys for FL. FL. Morrison of HaverhilI,
are in town to-day taking testimony in
the case of Morrison against the Insur-
ance Company of North America. We
understand the case to be in substance
this The claim is that in 1871 Morri-
son was insured in Shaw's office in this
place for $1,000; and that afterwards
his buildings burned and he was paid
but 5000. He now sues for the $500
balance and interest. The case will be
tried at Haverhill, at the Grafton
county court.

New Years at the Athen@um.

On Tuesday evening the Athen8um
was thrown open to the citizens, as
usual, for new years greetings. A large
company gathered, and the building
was filled throughout the evening. Be-
sides the usual attractions of this beau
tiful place, it was at this time made un-
usually attractive by the addition of
several choice paintings from private
drawing rooms. The decorations by
flowers, plants and evergreens, were no
less admired than the works of art. On
the Librarians desk was an elegant
floral design, consisting of a globe of
flowers, some l8 inches in diameter, on
a pedestal the base of which was mat
of moss inlaid with the choicest flowers !;
and mounted on the globe was full
grown eagle just arching his neck and
spreading his wings for flight. The
head, neck and body of the bird were
made of small white and red flowers,
the wings and tail were of flowers and
ferns interviewer. The design was very
beautiful, and it was exquisitely made
for this occasion by Mr.. VIM. H.
Hearne. During the evening the st.
Johnsbury Orchestra added another
charm to the entertainment by playing
many choice selections. Taken all in
all, new years at the Athen9um was
most pleasantly and we think protitably
spent; and the public are grateful to
those who made it so attractive.
