felix's were farmers. She has since lived in
Hermon with her brother, Joseph Merriman,
who does good deal of trading in this city.
Three years ago this fall she teek it into her
head to see the country, and started out with
neither scrip nor staff, but a good pair of thick
shoes. She walked across the country, Drawing
all kinds of weather. and finally brought up
Clinton, Iowa, when she took the back track

the capital, and then made bolt for Savan-

Then on she went az ain, doing the states of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Indiana and final
ly got round to Kansas City. Here she stopped
awhile and earned a new tramping outfit.
Again she started, this time with the intention
of crossing ths plains to California, but finally
stopped when told by many persons that it
would be very unsafe for her to think of at
tempting it alone. She then started on return
trip, walking from Kansas City to Chicago,
thence to Detroit, doing Niagara Falls and
crossing to Canada, thence to New York and
through Massachusetts, arriving at her home
in Hermon little more than week ago. She
says she averages 26 miles a day. She says

The cause Of temperance in this place is in a
fourishing condition. A reform club was
organized soma two years ago through the
instrumentality of W. III. Smith. Egg who
was elected first president, and has been
reelected at every consecutive term. The
interest has never abated, but has continually
increased. Almost every man, woman and
child manifests deep interest.
Under the superintendent of the Chaplain,
Gibson Plummer, there has been formed a
band of little boys and girls from five to ten or
twelve years of age, styled the "Cold Water
Ingincbes," whose ple6ge is total sbstence
from cider, beer aud all other Intoxicating
drinks, profane and vulgar language, and
tobacco in all its 10 rms They meet once a
week. The club meets ever alternate Saturday
evening, at Smiths Hall, Central House, when
portion of the time is devoted to reading and
rectatlons by the young men aud misses, and
various exercises by the Invincibles.
Under the guiding hand of Providence, we
owe, in a great degree, our success to the
hearty cooperation and sympathy of the
Ladies' Aid Society, as well the keeping out
of the lodge room all sxtraneous matter not
connected with the subject of temperance.

That Unruly North Raymond School,

Mr., EDToR,-In regard to the Raymond
school, allow me the space in your columns to
give you the facts as we learn them, which are
these: The young man, Mr.. MARSHALL friends
speak of, is lad IA years old, good, pescea-
BILE promising boy. His whispering, the first
offence for fourteen weeks, he promptly ac-
knowedged. He stood ia the floor from the
commencement of the school in the morning
until D. M, when his father learning his stu
alton sent his Oldest son "a highly respectable
young many after him. He went to the school
house and politely and respectfully requested
Mr.. Marshall to dismiss his brother, which
Mr.. Marshall refused to do, whereupon hard
WORDS ensued, Mr.. Marshall attempting to
draw revolver, so the scholars state, but
was prevented by two Of his pupils, brother
and cousin of Mr.. Churchill. This school is
closed.
Oar correspondent and Justice Starbird, be-
fore whom these ''hi2hly respectable young
men" were brought for assaulting their teacher
and disturbing the school, do not seem to agree
in their views Of the affair. Justice Starbird
fined them $40 and costs each for assault and
IS for disturbing the school. which certainly
doesn't look as if he thought they were simply
protecting their lives sg inst teacher who was
trying to shoot them.

The SToRM.-The rain of Sunday night was
accompanied by gale which increased in in
tensity during yesterday forenoon. The rain
turned to snow during the earlysmorning, max
ing it uncomfortable out of doors. At 10 o'clock
the gale was blowing "a miles an hour, while at
noon it had increased to So miles. The tide
ran very high and a heavy sea was rnnning
even in the harbor, while outsiG it was unusu-
ally rough. The Earpswell steamer found a
heavy sea in making her trips. especially in
crossing the sound. There was large feet of
fishermen and coasters in the harbor, but no

magnificent sight at the Cape. The telegraph
wires worked rather badly during the day. The
storm ceased at p. M, although high wind
prevailed throughout the night

THE SAVAGE MURDER TRIAL.-The theory
of the defence in the case of State VS.. James
Savageson trial at Augusta for the murder of
his wife is that Mrs.Savsgs died of well known
but somewhat rare disease known as henanaor-
rsagic purpura. Drs. Hill, Croker and Mar
tin of Augusta all testify that the woman had
this disease, and that, in their opioion, it was
the cause of her death. The spots upon the
surface of the body, resembling bruises, are
symptoms of this disease. Savage was drunk
when his wife died, and did not know after
ward what he had done, and the appearance of
the body tended to show him aud every body
else that his wife had been beaten to death.
Abuse, the doctors said, would hasten death,
but the blows indicated were not such as of
themselves would prove fatal. DR.. Hill, OF
cross-examiuation, said he could distinguish
spots Of purpura from bruises. This defence
was surprise to the attorney for the prosecu-
ton. The arguments were made yesterday and
the case given to the jury last night
