The physicians continue to bear testimony
against those who are responsible for the
dangerous condition of the streets. Dr. Andrew
Clak's statement is especially alarming. lie
asserts positively that there is danger OF an
epidemic of typhus fever, as the disease Is
already increasing.
The Anti -Treating law Of Wisconsin has been
pronounced null and void. 1t WAS law that
was not on the statute book, which was
amended in the interest of good morals ana
temperance. The rciOrners meant well, but
there wasn't anything to reform. The NAM
mon of unrightcOusness will now be wholly
given over to hospitality.
Several classes Of criticism evoked by the
Irish Land bill are enumerated i'll our special
cable dispatches. Most of them appear to be
captious and superficial. The law journals
point ont more serious flaw. The bill viii
tend to promote litigation, so that in the end
the lawyers will get land tenant right and
improvements. This is not the new class of
peasant proprietors which the Land League
and the Liberal Reformers are so anxious TO
create.
The last hours of the Nihlst assassins
were devoted mainly to literary recrcations.
One devised his inventions to the Govern
ment another scrubbed away his remaining
wits in writing out passages of his speech
which he had not been allowed to deliver
and the woman dispatched letter to her
mother, cautioning her not to waste time in
attempting to appease the father. One showed
the whitefeather. begging for his life and
offering his services as spy. There is moth
ing here to remind us of the Last night of
yergniaud and the Girondists.
Mr.. John G. Thompson has found his breath
again, and it is whole northeaster in itself.
He thinks the prospects of the Democrats in
Ohio are excellent. 1t is not to be wondered
at 1--WE have the grandest party in the
world y he exclaims. Why is it the grandest
"Because defeat after defeat makes no differ
euce, and we march right up to the front and
make a determined fight every time" Mr..
Thompson is one of the few men in the party
Who thoroughly enjoy being beaten. Every

graduate of the Theological School of Bates
College, and was called to Lawrence in 1872.

faithful earnestness, but his health continued

ton settled down in his parents home to await
with cheerful resignation the end of the pre-

The September term of the Supreme Judi
cal Court, at Alfred has nearly finished It's
session. The case of L. G.. Chase, of Boston,
ct ais VS.. the Springvale Mills was conducted
by Copeland for the plaintiffs and Tapley Tor
the defence. A verdict was rendered for the
plaintiffs in the sum of $1075; carried up on
exceptions. In the case of William M. Roach

The annual cattle show and fair of the Rich
mond Farmers and Mechanics Club was held
at the fair grounds Wednesday The attend
ance was smaller than usual owing to the cold
weather and the postponement of the exhibi-
ton from the day previous on account of bad
weather. The exhibition was not quite up to
former years, owing to the Iabove causes, in
quantity, but the quality of the display was all
that could be wished, the display of fruit being
especially fine. Halls band was in attend
ance and furnished music for the occasion in
the afternoon. Snow squalls were plenty in
this vicinity yesterday afternoon.
The question of establishing corn canning

scription of this coy little house of worship

Benediction by Rev. j. M. Woodbury..
''The Religious Conduct of the Heather an
Example to Christians" was the subject of
Rev. Mr.. Clark's discourse. Their readiness
to contend for their religion, when it was as
sailed the unity of spirit and purpose which
characterized them, and their liberality were
commended, and an earnest plea was made
for vigorous prosecution of the work COM
mitted to the church.
At the close of the service the pastor, Rev.
P. Jacques, stated that it would be necessary
to raise $3.50 in order to dedicate the chapel
free from debt, and Rev. Mr.. LIE Lacheur was
invited to call for subscriptions. Hon. W. W.
Thomas, who had previously donated the land
on which the chapel is built, started the sub
scription with $50 and materially aided by
words of encouragement in raising the bal
ance. This secured to the society $3.50 which
was donated by the Church Extension Socie-
ty of the M. e. church. and enabled the chair
man of the board of trustees Mr.. William
Chase, to present the chapel for dedication
entirely free from debt.
The congregation expressed by rising vote
its gratitude to Hon. W. w. Thomas for his
generous gifts to.this new but promising enter
