The Catholics hold a festival and
fair at Robinson's Opera House, on the
evenings of Feb %. % and "a, the pro-
ceeds of which will be used toward pay
ing the debt on their church in this
place. Good music will be in attend

and ring cakes, etc. A valuable parlor
chair, silver cup and beautiful notices
will be drawn by ticket. There will be
an oyster supper each evening, only %
cents. AS the church in this place is
not large or wealthy, everybody inter-
ested ought to patronize the festival,
and lend hand in helping to lift the
debt. Admission % cents; children

The North Star, which Geo. S. Eaton,
son and grandson of former publishers,
allowed to go out with the old year, has
again appeared in the newspaper frma-
ment, Hoyt & Caswell, publishers. The
new paper is about the size of the old
Star, has "patent" outside, and starts
off with considerable local news and a
fair amount of general reading. 1t is
to be neutral in politics. 1t makes the
mistake in the first issue of ''pitching
into" brother editor, who had said a
kind word for it before its first issue.
We judge that many who took the old
Star, because they had taken it SO long,
will fail to find in the new organ any
peculiar superiority which will cause
them to take it in preference to other
papers. But the citizens of Danville
and vicinity will doubtless help the pa
per. as local enterprise, and give it a
fair support.
SAD ADMINISTRATIONS Marnock
of East Albany, while at work in the
yard at Grandy's mill, was caught un-
der some rolling logs. and crushed into
the snow, having one leg broken and re-
ceiving internal injuries, which will
probably cause his death. DR.. R. B.
Skinner and other physicians have at
tended him, but his injuries seems to be
| of such a character as to battle human
skill, the accident occurred the early
part of last week. On Saturday, a
Canadian who was at work on the wood
splitter, by some accident got his hand
under the huge ak and it was cut clean
off. The hand was so crushed above
the wound, as to require amputation al
the wrist. The man was from Hatley,
P. O., but we have not been able to gel
his name.
Lateral successful surgical opera
ton hasimaterially improved the condi
tion of Mr.. Marnock, and it is hoped hi
may recover.
