From Our Own Correspondent.
DR.. and Lawyer Eugle are using white brick
in their block, which is nearly completed.
Miss Hattie Palmer now rides out in a new
phaeton, just little nicer and more stylish
than any other in town.
School closed last week with literary exer-
cises on Thursday and picnic on Friday.
The sermon delivered by Rev. f. ]. Bell at
the M. Z. church, Sunday evening, subject "The
peris of our country" was very good and right
to the point, bringing before the mind many
facts which 1T will be well for us to consider.
Perhaps instead Of spending too much powder
rejoicing over the Fourth OF July, We better
save our ammunition against the time OF need.
On Friday last as James Mooney had driven
round near the depot and assisted Mrs. Hazel
ton out at her home, the engine standing near
let off steam, the horse took fright, and before
Mooney could grasp the lines, Lit out and did
not slack her speed until mile out of town.
Jun is minus buggy.
The scales have turned and poor nervous
Mrs. Louttet is allowed to rest, while some of
the male boods Of our town supply the shame
and scandal On Thursday (show day. as John
Garrison vas passing down street and his at
tention drawn across the way, he was met in
front of Fred. Seymour's shop by Otta and
Mamma Reynolds, who without word knocked
John down and both kicked him in the face ana
head several times. When those standing near
had time to think and say "You have killed
him." Mamma replied, SPY G. hope so,".
then turned and left Several men picked up
Garrison's apparently lifeless body and carried
1t into Seymour's shop and did what they could
to resuscitate him. but 1t was over thirty min
utes before consciousness returned. He is now
around, but bears mutilated head andtface,
and now there will probably be more business
and mere money for the lawyers, whether JUS
tice is done or not. Every one comedies it was
a mean, cowardly act on the part Of the Rey-
nolds boys,-lke silent sssassins to both attack
one unarmed, unwarned man, no matter what
the real or imaginary offense, but when you
come to learn that they were carrying out the
commands Of an irate father, the matter ap-
pears more disgusting still. However, the
young men are OF age, and had they been bro't
up with properly developed moral characters,
would have refused to obey command which
must inevitably disgrace themselves and their
father also
Since writing the above, we learn that the
Sheriff has just arrested the Reynolds boys.
We understand that Father Kemp's concert
which came of Friday and Saturday evenings
was failure financially, and not very great
success otherwise, those present feeling that it
would have done very well for ten cent en-
tertainment but that at rs cents it was swim
die. The commonest and most necessary stage
arrangements were disregarded; no foot-lights
and when one made desperate effort to gath
er some lines OF the dark faces, there was the
row OF bright lights on the wall just above the
singers heads, which nearly put ones eyes out
No programmes, and the pieces we're ANNOUNCE
ed In too uncertain tone to be understood
However, many Of the old time pieces were
sufficiently full Of fun as well as discord, and
the costumes and gestures very appropriate
while Miss Thompson is . cultured singer and
rendered her pieces beautifully.
Charles Hegar's suit, instituted for selling
liquor to Indians, came of Friday and Satur-
day. Lawyers: G. II. Ensle for plaintiff, and
DePuy and two others from Bangor for de-
