Eds. Tel.-An increasing religious in
terest is felt in this village, and the desire
is an earnest one, that much good may re-
suit from it. During thS.week Of Prayer,
union meetings were held, and since that
separate meetings have been held for most
of the time. a conference among the pas
tors on Saturday evening resulted in de-
cision to hold three weeks series of Un-
ion meetings, beginning on Sabbath even
ing at the Methodist church where all
the evenings of the week they will be held,
openingwith half hour prayer netting, and
succeeded by preaching by some one of
three pastors. The second week the Presb
house will be used, and the Baptist follow
ing the third week. While the pastors sp-

The lamp mania has reached this place
A few have been set and are found to be
very useful, beside giving US metropoh-
tan air. Others are soon to follow. and
will no doubt entitle US to the distinction
of an enlightened people,
Quite mania too has broken out for
new signs. Brydle's Harness shop, Luce's
store, Campton's shoe shop, setc, are out
with fine samples of painting.
The new telegraph venture connecting
US with the station, proves to be a paying
institution, beside adding to the conyen-
ience of our citizens, ana emitting them
to credit for such an evidence Of enter
prise.
The application Of the one third law to
bed Accommodations, we find applies as
well to the Accommodations of our cutter
seat, which does not admit of so much
north and south latitude, which, as in the
sleeping accommodation, is so freely and
remorselessly taken.
Miller & Freeman have added to their
meat market, full stock of groceries, and
Capt Perkins has opened a meat market
in the old S erline house, where Mr.. jeff
will also keep groceries.
The slieghing has started up business in
every grade of teaming, and the hauling of
logs is not the least, as may be seen at
Fickingsr's mill yard, where the hickory
logs, designed for some special order, are
coming in in considerable quantities.
Some painful cases Of disease have shown
themselves in our midst. Mrs. Caroline
Reed, with her daughter Jsannis-a lady Of
some 40 years, have lately returned from
year or more's visit among friends in De-
troit-ths daughter is to spend the few re-
naming days or weeks of life in her old
home. She is suffering from a cancsrous
tumor on the side of the face and neck.
that despite the best surgical skill of De-
troit, must soon prove fatal. Mr.. Thomas
Richmond, also, is a sufferer His trouble
is growing tumor in the passage to the
stomach, shat so abstructs the taking of
nourishment as to threaten starvation. Of
course the cravings Of hunger are severe
The tumor at the proper stage, is expected
to break, and if tnat period is not too long
delayed. life may be saved. G.
