a valuable horse, buggy, and harness
stolen from his barn last Thursday

morning, and resulted in finding the
buggy and harness in Guildhall, and
the horse of its own accord crossed the
river to Lancaster where it had been
stabbed. No clue as yet to the thief.

old factory site to J. D. Gould and w.

tory. In these lectures Mr.. Fuller is
ably assisted by Mr.. Bracket, who is
so successful in the illustrations as to
add largely to their interest. Our peo-
pie are greatly indebted for entertain
ments at once so pleasing and in
structive, and the students are extreme
ly fortunate in having the benefit of
such rare opportunities. A citizen ex-
pressed the thought of many probably
when he said he did not expect to be
interested or instructed so much in the
regular course of lectures as he was in
these talks at Academy hall.

Owing to the slight rains the past
summer, the highways are in excellent
condition. If one wishes to ride for the
pleasure of the thing, he will find no
better time than now. And by the way,
what more sensible thing can a man do
than once in a while to treat his wife,
children and himself to drive upon
the many pleasant roads, such as can
be found in this vicinity

NORTH CONG. CHURCH,

UNTO you, MEN, CALL AND MY
VOICE Is TO THE SONS OF MEN.
1t is not impossible but that this new
bell will be the foundation for chime
at some future day. A chime of
bells is an expensive thing, but we
should not be surprised if this town
heard the joyful sound sometime.
The history of the church bells of this
place is of interest at this time. The
first bell weighed 800 lbs, and was on
the key of c. 1t was placed upon the
only church in the village then, the
North, where it served the entire town
for many years. This was before the
day of town clocks and railroads in this
place, and the bell was rung at 9 o'clock
in the morning, at noon, and 9 o'clock
at night. In 1849 this bell was taken
down and sent to North Concord, and
a large and fne-tohed bell took its
place. This new bell weighed about
2400 lbs, and was on the key of F. This
bell did not long remain. Our recollec-
ton is that it was cracked within q
year besides every time it was rung
the house was shaken badly. This bell
was exchanged for the present North
church bell, of 1900 lbs. weight, key
of A, and the South church bell, the
weight of which is about 1900 lbs, and
the key of G.. A few years ago, a bell
of 1000 lbs, and key of F was put upon
the Methodist church. This bell is also
used for fire alarm. This in brief is
the history of church bells on the
Plain. In 1876 there were three bells
placed upon the Catholic church, the
weight of which we are not informed
but these, like all the bells previously
mentioned in this article, are from the
Meneeley factory and of fine tone.
About the same year, bell was placed
in the Advent church. The bell in the
present North church is cracked, and is
to be sent back to the foundry; and
the new bell upon the new church will
probably be used instead from this time
forward. In case the new bell is not
ready next Sunday the church will de-
pend on other church bells; and fol
Sunday School the Methodist bell will
be rung.
