Personal.

We are informed by Rev. j. Wills that the
statement in yesterdays PRESS to the effect
that he had accepted call to preach, tenn
porarily, in Connecticut was erroneous The
fact is that Mr.. Wills has made arrangements
to preach at the various churches within the
limits Of the Connecticut Valley Unitarian
Conference during the summer months The
distinction is that Mr.. Wills is liable to preach
all through Connecticut Valley instead of Con-
necticut alone.

DR.. Bolles' Lecture.

Rev. DR.. Bolles' final lecture on London
drew another highly pleased audience to Con-
gress Square church last evening. The sub
iect was the "London of the Georges" and
the lecturer displayed all the splendid build
ings of their reign, those that had been altered
or improved during the reign and many of the
present day. By a map he first laid out the
course of the tourist, and then visited the IA
nous spots to which he had promised to take
his audience. The House of Parliament, the
bridges that span the Thames the city gates,
and many historic places received full de-
scription. An eloquent tribute was paid to
johnson, Sheridan, Burke and other literary
lights of the times. 1t is to be regretted this
delightful course has been brought to a close

RiddlaIS READINGS

Speaking of Mr.. Riddles readings, the Bos-
ton Traveller says:
although fully aware of Mr.. Riddles rep
utation as a dramatic reader, we were hardly
S<epared for SO fine an effort,--one which, in
. many respects might be called mastery. He
knows well how TO give each sentence its due
point without effort or trickery. Mr.. Riddle
does not preach. He reads humanity and spir-
nediy, with due appreciation of the fact that
light laughter is not an unworthy attribute of
man"
Mr. Riddle will read at Rossin Hall Friday
evening and Saturday afternoon.

Sad Accident at Yarmouth Pulp Mill.

Sad Accident at Yarmouth Pulp Mill.
A young man named Ferdinand Corliss,
about II years of age, while oiling machinery
at the pulp mill in this village this morning,
had the misfortune to have his right arm
drawn in between two heavy cog wheels and
horribly crushed as far as the elbow, requiring
amputation above that point. The amputation
was performed in the forenoon by DR.. Bates,
assisted by Drs. Burbank Thomas and Torrey.
The young man is as comfortable as cilcum-
stances will alolw, and he and his father and
mother have the sincere sympathy of all our
citizens in their great misfortune.
1t is to be hoped that our people will tender
the unfortunate young man, who is thus dis
abled for life, material aid in this time of need.
