Of which 81, 800 have been subscribed, with a
probability Of making up the balance. Charley
Hammond, while driving down grst-mil hill at
rather too rapid pace one dark evening last
week. collided with a team driven by Frank
Wilder and Terrill boy of Cadys Falls, and the
result was general shipwreck. Both wagons
were badly smashed and all the parties thrown
out and bruised considerably; and Charley, who
was said to have been looking upon the wine
when 1t was red, landed at a considerable distance
further down the road on the back of his head
but by some miraculous interposition Of divine
Providence, escaped broken neck.

HALLEcK.-Dr W. A. Ialleck, the founder
and secretary Of the American Tract Society," has
just died in New York, at the age OF eighty-six.
Previous to 1925 he spent two years in the service
Of the New England Tract Society, so that the
long, unbroken term Of ifty-eight years was
given to the tract work. Possessed of rare ex-
ecutive ability, indomitable perseverance, untr-
ing industry, and fine literary culture, he was
consccrated in a remarkable degree to Christian
work. The large body OF religious literature
which he edited up to the time OF his retirement
four thousand distinct works, Of which eight
hundred and eighty-one are volumes-are fruits
OF his labors. He had much to do with the print
ing by the society's aid at foreign mission sta
tons OF nearly four thousand additional publica-
tons in one hundred and forty-five languages or
dialects. He also for many years edited the
american Missionary. He wrote several vol
umes and some excellent tracts, OF which in all
about one million four hundred thousand copies
have been circulated. His memoir of Harlan
| Page had a great influence in awakening the
churches to personal work. OF this book one
hundred and twelve thousand copies were issued.

steal convention, conducted by DR.. W. o. Perkins
OF Boston, with full corps of soloists Our glee
club will try to furnish something interesting.

will do well to address at once the chairman of
entertainment committee, Willard Gay. The
principal item OF improvement in our village for
the past week has been done by Willard Gay, in
laying gas pipe down Main street to his house
... The drouth here is becoming reality The
very shallow river is largely drawn from by man
and beast, while many, from total failure OF
their springs, are trespassing upon the kindness
of their more fortunate neighbors. Rev. V. NJ

York for the past four weeks, is expected to oc
cupy his pulpit next Sunday.

New England road collided with an extra freight
near Hope River, two and half miles east of
Willimantc, Connecticut. The passenger train
was behind time, and it is said that the conductor
Of the freight was not aware of this, but supposed
1t had passed Willimantic coming east, thereby
leaving the track clear for him to proceed west

crash was terrific. The engines were piled upon
each other, and many cars were derailed and
smashed. Six passengers on the train escaped
with only unimportant injuries The engineer

CHErsEA.-The Methodist pastor baptized three
persons by immersion last Sunday. .Philander
Densmore is about to move to Manchester, New
Hampshire. Miss Ellen Andrus met with a
severe accident on Saturday while going up a
flight of steps leading to a granary. The steps,
which were badly secured, fell, taking her with
them Her jaw was broken and she was other
wise badly bruised -. About sixty persons called
on Mr.. and Mrs Adams Fifeld Saturday evening
to pay them their respects on the fiftieth ami
versary Of their marriage. The occasion was a
very pleasant one for all participating. The his

one respect that they have passed their entire
married life in the house in which they now live,
and of which they were the first occupants
