HARTFORD. Oct. 2j.-In the doings OF
the District Lodge of Good Templars held
at North Paris with Rising Star Lodge OF
the 18th, published in the DEMOCRAT OF
the 10Th, notice no allusion 10 the re-
solves passed by that Lodge. As the
DEMOCRAT has ever been ready 10 publish
the proceedings OF county and district
lodges within the county, would ask If
the ID. 5. omitted them IN his copy:

In the Line school district there were 80
voters, Greenbackers, Democrats aud

September, being from twenty to
eighty-two years of age, which speaks well
for country district at a distance from
the place of voting, all knowing by expert

I'LL the sound of the church going bell is
heard from that long noted building spot.
Three years ago the ed of Oct, the
ground was covered with snow at Hart
ford, and the sheep were driven into the
barn. Owing this year 10 the great rain
on the night before the 23d, the farmers
are breaking up and the sheep and young
stock obtain good living in the fields.
This sea son Is noted for the absence OF
rain storms, its sudden changes from cold
to hot, accompanied by terrific thunder
showers, destroying large amount of
property. Owing TO the drouth, all kinds
of crops save hay, apples and berries, have
been light. Owing to early planting and
the use OF Bradley's phosphates, some
have raised extra crops of corn, suitable
to be cut and shocked in August. With
some, the drouth and early frost ruined the
crop ofcorn. Out door plants and flowers
were not touched by frost till the 10th.

twenty-five farms, S. E. Irish raised the

went 10 the woods in quest of cartridges.
While looking for game he came 10 log,
over which he jumped and came down

quietly nursing her cubs 1t Is hard 20 tell
which was most surpri sed, Mr.. Clark or
the bear Bruin made for her man and
gave him an unwelcOme hug, tearing his
clothes into fragments. Letting go To get
better hold gave Mr.. Clark temporary adj
vantage which he made use of. After
breaking the breech of his gun over her
head he made his escape. The bear pur-
sued him several rods, but finally gave up
the chase and returned 10 her offspring.
