Quite extensive repairs have BEEN made
on the Congregational church in this place.
The exterior of the house has been reprinted
and shingled, while the inside has been COM
pletely renovated. The most noticeable
features in these Improvements are the desk,
chairs. stand and chandelier.
Last Sabbath, the pastor, Rev. Mr..
Dodge, preached very able and instructive
dedicatory sermon, contrasting churches and
church-gOing century since, with those OF
the present day, and impressing his hearers
with a spirit Of true devotion 30 necessary
in the promotion Of the Gospel among US.
A quartette from Great Falls furnished
music on the occasion.
A large proportion Of the expense oi
these repairs was met BY our friend and ben
efactor, Richard w. Shspleigh. of Boston.

DIsGRAcrFUL PRocEEDINGs.-The usual
quiet OF our village was broken SATURDAY.
evening last by an exhibition of rowdyism,
such as has never before been seen or heard
in Sedgwiek. The ostensible occasion was
fusion flag raising. The banner inscribed
Hancock and English" vas flung TO the
wind during the afternoon. But, when night
had covered with its vail Of murky fog deed.
Ill and good. the fusion hosts consisting Of
roughs and hoodlums gathered to celebrate
under the leadership Of three worthless
whose reputation is far from savory. Under
me direction Of these men, a small crowd
gathered TO give expression to their joy A
swivel was procured from a neighboring
town, bonfire was built, faint cheers and
hideous out-cries rent the air. but a crowd
composed mostly Of hoodlums soon tire Of
legitimate acts. Lawlessness alone does not
eloy. So disregarding all rights Of proper
erty they broke into the First Baptist church
and gave further vent to their rascality
Lamps were lighted, the organ forced open,
and the bell sent vehemently swinging
This was bad enough il there had been no
property destroyed, but the bell. . new and
valuable one recently procured a, large ex-
pense, broke under the rough usage. Then
the mob fed the church to giut itself in the
adjoining orchards.
Boosting and bravado have ever charac-
terized the handful of fusionists that is
found in our midst; but never before had
they the audacity to disgrace the town, fur
Their than to interrupt Republican meetings.
There are Democrats, however, in this
vicinity who conscientiously though unsuc-
oessfally try to maintain the principles of the
founders of their party. but by joining with
the fusionists. they become sharers Of their
dishoner. The opprobrium and disgrace Of
Saturdays performance is attached to them
Is sympathizers, As well as TO the actual
participants.
November will reveal q larger majority
for strong government, and protected inter-
ests. For every thinking man in OUT village
will of right hesitate to ally himself with
the opponents of communism and mob rule.

lyieu Al MS residence IN tnis city, AFTER Q
painless illness Of some months, Mr.. George
n. Black. at the age Of 66.
Mr.. Black came to this city from Boston,
some months ago. worn down and debili,a-
ted, as it vas supposed, by too close a,ten-
ton to business. in the hope that his native air
would revive his decaying strength. bu, this
hope proved delusiye.
Mr.. Black was the son Of the late Col.
John Black. formerly distinguished citizen
of Ellsworth. In his early manhood he be-
came largely eng aged in the numbering bust
ness which he pursued with grea, energy
and success. Having acquired an ample
fortune and becoming somewhat wearied
with the care Of his large business, he dis
posed Of his interest to other parties, and
some twenty years ago removed with his
family TO Boston, where he has since resided,
retaining however. his legal residence in
this city. spending here several months Of
each year, occupying the old family mansion
and adding from year to year, TO its a,irae-
tive beauty.
Mr.. Black had many Of those character
isties which insure success in business. He
was n man Of integrity, cautious, prudent,
self-reian, and of tirelcss energy, with a
strong and persistent will when he had
once entered upon any course Of action j,
was no common obstacle that would turn
him from his purpose; thus he seldom failed
in any Of his enterprises. lie took an &C
tive and in;elligen, in,eres, in public anairs.
but the distinctions in civil life. so much
sought after and priced by many, had for
him no charms.
In social life Mr. Black Was urbane and
cordial and in his home. presided over by
his most es;imable and accomplished wife,
dispensed an elegan, and generous hospital
iiy. !, is. however. TO be regretted tina, he
did no, oftener break away from the wearing
routine OF his business life and had no, Civ
en- himself more time for the recreation Of
travel and the enlivening pleasures Of social
life. Had he done so il is believed that his
temperate habits and naturally robust con-
stituiion would have secured for him many
more years Of health and comfort.
All questions pertaining to religion had
for Mr.. Black a large speculative interest,
and evidently occupied many of hi. thoughts.
lie was a firm believer in the facts and truths
Of divine revelation and an habitusl attend
ant on public worship. In Boston he Was a
regular attendant on the ministry of Rev.
Philips Brooks and was a great admirer Of
his sermons, and apparently accepted the
great truths Of christianity as proclaimed by
that eloquent preacher.
To those who knew him best there was
evidence in the late years Of Mr.. Blacks
life Of a growing personal in;eres, in those
great truths which outweigh and out-meas-
ure all the transient interests Of time and of
earth A, the last. he gave, 10 those be
loved best, the comforting assurance that he
was without fear and was entirely resigned
TO the will Of his Heavenly Father.
A large circle Of friends will deeply and
tenderly sympaihi1e with the bereaved fam
ily, in tins time Of their great sorrow.
