Mrs. Russell Harrington, daughter
of Timothy Winter, is very low from
consumption.
BY the way we forgot to mentien
that donation (D at l.. G.. How
ards the other evening, but since
the fair ones did not exercise their
leap year privileges The attendance was
not as large as 1t might have been.
Mr.. LaPan on the 9th had a iii
while at the store of j. Z. Champlin at
East Middlebury. Three accidents TO MS
many men of one town in different
places, not to speak of the sad demise
Of Mr.. Lyford, is something unusual
we think. ,rrN -
H. G. Damon has received the ap-
pointment of notary public and compii-
ed with the statutory requirements in
such cases MADE and provided, and will
be doubtless ready to answer any calls
in his line for consideration. 1t will
certainly be a great convenience to
many.
We are pleased to notice that the
Co Igregationalists have secured sup
ply for their pulpit in the person of the
Rev. Mr.. Divine, p. ii. D., lately of
San Jose, CAL, where he has been en-
gagged in teaching. We had the pleas
ure ofhearing an extempore effort of his
last Sunday evening. He chose as the
basis of his mrrks, the cure of the
Syro-PhGnician woman's daughter out
of whom Christ cast the unclean spirit.
The Methodist church presents on
an evening great contrast to what 1t
did before the introduction of those
new lamps, as ten lights have greater
illuminating power than three; and
besides, those now in use show that
something beyond the call of utility
was intended to be catered to. The
exact cost was not large, being, through
the kindness of G. S. Wainwright of
Beckwith 81 Co., only manufacturers
prices with transportation added, and
since it gives pleasure to all attending,
we wonder thai they were not intro
duced before.
We embrace the opportunity to
say that we were grossly misinformed
in regard to that funeral reported in
the last Register. A reliable gentle
man informs us that it was even so far
wrong that the services were not even
holden in any church, consequently no
relatives were left standing in the
asiles. But we do not yet see what
conceivable motive the author of the
yarn could possibly have in concocting
it unless it was for the purpose of see
ing his name in print, that Gov. G.. of
Maine might secure him for a witness
on election returns. If that was in his
plans he reckoned without US, for we
shan't do it, not if we know oursclf.
Tho saw mill run by Jno. King Of
East Middlcbrry, was completely des-
troyed by fire on the evening of the
Sth inst. At the time, the building con-
tanned Buzzcll circular saw mill "a shin
gle mill, cutting off saw, etc., besides
an old patterned cup and down" mill,
and first class stave machine, owned
by Mr.. King, and on which there was
no insurance. On the mill property
the loss was some $4,000, insured
81 900 to 81, POO. The fire leaves Mr..
King all ailoat as regards business, but
we are mistaken rs to the stuff of which
he IS made, if he allows this rebuff of
Dame Fortune to prevent him from
finding something to do and doing ii
with n vim; in fact the indications are
that he will be enrolled among the
II ountaincers at an early day. So mote
it be.
