Conspiracy In South Duxbury.

party Of about sixty persons gathered at the
house Of Charles W. Kellogg, on Saturday even
ing, January 18th, during the temporary absence
Of Mrs. Kellogg, who had been stopping a few days
with her daughter in waitsfeld who for some
unaccountable reason was, just then, terribly In
want Of some help. About dark Mrs. Kellogg
son called to take his mother home. She arrived
there to find long table, )uxuriantly filled with
the good things Of lfe standing in the dining
room; while the sitting-room and parlor were oc-
cupied with very pleasant looking company OF
conspirators. The jubilant counsenance Of her
husband, the beaming face of her mother, he
irrepressible jokes and smiles of brothers and
sisters, the glad welcome from nephews and
nieces, children and grandchildren, neighbors and
friends, told her too plainly to be mistaken that
she had been beguiled, and that thirty-ive years
OF happy life had flown since Mary Wheeler, a
country "schoolma' am" had been woed, won
and brought blushing bride to this place by
Charles Kellogg, and which, with the exception
OF short interval has been their residence to
this day.
The table in the sitting-room glittered with
shining and warming tokens of love and good will
Gems Of glass; and gems Of silver.
Flannel warm, and linen fairs
Gloves and mittens for the fingers,
Greenbacks and coins were shining there
The bride OF thirty five years got the mittens;
and the greenbdck town representative presented
siiuer; seemingly paradoxical, but it only shows
that the greenbacker, now that resumption is a
fact, accepts the situation.
Supper time came and with 1t the oysters; and
II 10. Wheeler did sit at the lower end Of the
table where the oysters seemed to settle, and If
two or three platefus thereof, with as many
plates of crackers, did settle into his stomach, he
can readily be forgiven by any partakers thereof
who appreciate good oysters well cooked.
Remarks were made and prayer offered by Rev
Mr.. Smith, of Moretown; "reminiscences by d. S.
Stoddard of fayston; good wishes by ALL well
come thanks by Mr.. Kellogg; and all went merry
as marriage bell until the engtheniug hours
reminded the happy conspirators that Sunday
was drawing near, when they made precipitate
flight, leaving their astonished and delightfully."-
surprised hostess to wonder how she could have n
wedding and not know 1t beforehand. y.

Obituary,

The funeral of Miss Annie Laurie Towle
daughter of DR.. William G. Towle, took place
Tuesday afternoon at the residence of her
parents in Fryeburg. A. B. Jenness conducted
the ceremonies, the bearers being four young
friends Edward e. Hastings Frank e. Howe,
Granville Austin, William c. Souther. The
music was finely rendered by Miss Hattie A.
Pike, Mrs. Gardener Walker, William Powers
and John Osgood. Rev. B. N. Stone, pastor
of the New Jerusalem church, of which she
was devoted member, delivered the dis
course. He took for his theme the death Of
Jairus' daughter. 1t was full of profound
thought, and comforting words The death of
this young person deserves more than passing
notice. She was twenty years of age at the
time of her death. While our community has
been called to mourn the loss of most excellent
and much loved friend, doubt if for many years
a death has caused such general sorrow among
all ages as that of Laurie-as she was familiar
ly called. She was most welcome companion
of all ages, her genial countenance carrying
light and sunshine wherever she went. She
never was more happy than when administer
ing to the comforts of others Or pointing the
way of heavenly life with all the assurance
and enthusiasm of young, devoted, Christian
heart. Her sickness was very brief.

Business Notes.

The Rockland shoe factory has turned out
nearly 10000 cases of boots and shoes during
the past year, or about 100000 pairs. They ex-
pect to make about a thousand pairs day dur
ing the winter.
The lumbermen are now making prepare
tons to close up for the season and they will
probably get through this week. They all re-
port good fall business, better than they have
had for years, and say that everything now in
dicates continuation of the improvement in
the lumber trade next season. 1t is thought
that good many logs will be cut this winter
Messrs. Nealley & Son of Bangor have laid
the foundation and in the spring propose to
erect steam shingle mill, ON the Brewer
shore, just below the dam. The mill will be
thirty feet by fifty feet, and will have twelve
inch cylinder which will run four shingle ma
chimes. Their business is good and they now
have thirteen mills saving for them and handle
from twenty-four to twenty-five million shin
giles during the year. The new mill will be
very conveniently located for them, and it is
proposed to run it winter and summer, the
stock coming on the cars during the cold
weather and by scows when the river is open.
The mill will furnish employment for some %
hands during the entire year.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
THE ALPHABET OF LIFE.


Rev. Mr.. Bolles delivered lecture on
First Lessons in the Alphabet of Life" at
Willston Chapel last evening Like the pre-
vious lecture of this course it was intensely
interesting, illustrated as it was by the magic
lantern. To the student of nature, the votary
OF science it gave new zeal to pursue his
favorite study and furnished new avenues of
thought, new food for reflection. Mr.. Bolles
last evening briefly adverted to the great
problem of spontaneous generation. Like
Tyndal and Huxley he believes no efforts of
science can produce life. He briefly sketched
the career of those eminent scientists--Darwin,
Tyndall and Huxley, and gave an interesting
review of their respective scientific theories
Darwin he pronounced great and eminent
man who more than any other had adj
vanced the cause of science. Contrary to the
assertions Of many he pronounced Darwin a
devoted Christian, and firm believer in all
the fundamental truths of Christianity Oar
win he said was very conservative, and did not
believe in the wild vagaries and speculations
of his votaries. Mr. Boles paid a glowing
tribute to the genius of Huxley and Tyndall.
The major part of the lecture was devoted to
an interesting description of the protoplasmic
plants and animals, their Possibilities, and
powers in working out the design of an Infinite
Creator.
The next lecture will be on "The Wonders
OF the Sea-"

swEDENBoRG1AN ENTERTAINMENT.
S ACCARAPPA.
Some Boston Globe Staten ents Contra
dicted.

The Boston Globes statement in regard to
frauds in this town at the Septe Der election
is ridiculed here. The fairness of Dunnell's
majority is unquestioned save by his opponent,
would-be-representative Stiles. The act
ual majority received by Dunnell was three in
stead of two as shown by the returns. At the
election two boxes were used to receive the
ballots,-one for those containing names of
state officers and the other for those on the
constitutional amendment. When the ballots
were counted straight Republican ticket
was found i'll the box containing the ballots on
the amendment. This was rejected by the
Democratic Greenback board of selectmeu, al
though it was needed to make up the full
count as shown by the check list. The falsity
of the statement in regard to w. V. Harmon
and son is apparent to all who know the par
ties, and Mr. Harmon says himself that there
is no truth in it.
