BRIDPORT.

The W. G. Il. u, me with Mrs.
Eaton, Wednesday, Oct. II, the presi-
dent presiding. After devotional OK
ercises, and the reading of minutes by
the secretary, Mrs. Golf gave q very
entertaining report of the st. Johns
bury convention, she, with Mrs. Blais-
dell, being the only delegates who found
it convenient to attend. We quote the
following from her report: "Mrs.
Hyde of b iii speaking on the
subject of interesting workers, said
Secure the interest of every christian
woman, then all work in the home,
however secure, and elsewhere when
opportunities offer. Look about you,
help that man. Put aside doubts,
work for results, and against odds.
The introduction of temperance tales
intoifamilies was urged. Filter and sow
broadcast and who can estimate their
value on the youth of our landr' The
ladies then discussed the question,
"What are the best methods for practi-
cal temperance workr All evinced q
desire to learn the best methods that
they might be put in practice. A
pleasant intermission was then enjoyed
during which refreshments were serv-
ed, after which the question of the
afternoon was discussed in a spirited
way by the gentlemen. Law was
quoted, anecdotes related, etc., until
between the hours of nine and ten,
when the company dispersed to Their
homes with something to think about,
and we trust some good to accomplish
in the near future. About fifty per-
sons were present in the evening.

The sudden death of DR.. j. G.. Hob
land was shock and sorrow TO the
thousands throughout the country who
knew him only by his writings. His
works gave pleasure to all who read
them, for nothing hurtful was ever
published by or for him. Speaking of
the popularity Of DR.. Hollands writ
ings, the New York Evening Post
says:
Comment on them Is unnecessary.
Their merits are widely known, and
their defects also. But at least it will
everywhere be gratefully allowed that
in the long roll of his works 10 line is
written which for reasons of its moral
tendency, DR.. Holland "dying might
wish 10 blot" and any man may be
called fortunate whose lifcs work by
common consent gave hurtless pleas
ure to multitudos, and steadily helped
to make and keep the the world decent,
honest and pure.

Killett's Case.

Judge Tappan has refused George
Willett, convicted of numbering John
b. Phair, q new trial, and the Glen's
Falls Times thinks that it is not likely
that any other Judge will do so. Since
the trial, two witnesses have come to
light who saw Wilett In Glen's Falls
the night of the murder. One of them
wore coat and hat much like Pairs.
Willett sprang out upon him as he was
going along the street, but when he
saw his face, relinquished his hold.
These two witnesses would ellectually
destroy the alibi, which formed the
chief reliance of the defense. The
prisoners in the Jail say that Willett
confidently expected to be cleared.
When asked why sentence should not
be passed upon him, his only words
were, al am an innocent man."

A Man StiH Hving Who Was Born In
1A99.

Some industrious scribe, with keen
scent for news, hes found en- old chap
living on ons Of the West India islands,
who vas born $50 the story rnns) in the
year 1899, and Is consequently nearly
lS2 yaaws Of aee, being, with the single
axpePti0n Of Bsser Czartan, the Hun

case OF Longevity Of which we have any
accounb outside a tho book OF Genesis.
Tho report says that the venerable man
now living in the West Indies was
soldier IN tho Spanish army, but was
discharged fherefrom in the year 1924,
in consequence of wounds received in
battle, and he therefore tsrrsd in this
vale OF teafs 1pnger than any other

greatest instance OF authenticated
longevity Of all modern times is that OF

who wsbern IN 1857 and died in f772,

The water power at Dclden's Falls,
which has been 50 long idle, has been
secured together with the marble mill 4,
by the Fall Mountain Paper Company
of Bellows Fall, for the manufacture of
wood pulp. 1t seems that there is not
power enough available at Bellows
Falls to make the wood pulp required.
The building is being repaired, the
machinery put in, and in short time
operations will begin. They require
about three hundred horse power for
the work.
NWo find the following item iu the
Fond du Lac (Wis.) journal of the 9th
inst: columbus Smith of West Sails
bury, vt, has purchased the building a
few doors north of Division street, on
Main, occupied by Frank Miller as a
shoe shop. 1t will undergo thorough
repairs. This is the fourteenth build
ing purchased by Mr.. Smith in this
city, showing that he has faith in the
future of Fond du Lac, and in the
brightness of its future he will realize
bountiful returns for his thousands of
dollars here invested. The building
was purchased through his agent, Mr.. II
A. Smith.
There have been several cases of
disease of typhoid type on South
Pleasant street and Vicinity. Edward
Bond was taken sick while boarding at
II. w. Pitts, and Mr. w. w. Eaton has
had a child sick with the disease.
These houses in themselves arc believ-
ed to be perfectly healthy, and free
from any source of infection. The
only explanation needed for the cases of
fever is the filthy pool which extends
alongside the railroad track. This re-
,eives the sewerage from one of The
hotels and has no outlet whereby it can
)e drained adequately. 1t has long
been regarded as source of danger,
md it is strange that it has not hereto
ore caused an epidemic. 1t is said |
hat the attention of the village trus-
ees has been called to it for some
line. If so their neglect to drain it
md remove the danger is most repre-
II is disgraceful that place
ike Middlebury should have such a
cstering pool poisoning the air in its
midst with foul and disease-breeding
That we have escaped
Widespread sickness is our good for
une, but the recent cases in that vicin-
by show that the time for neglect is
ast. Something should be done
peedily, for we may yet have warm
feather in which the miasma may do
eadly work.

Henry had been for some time in fee
bic health having been west eight
months for medical treatment; return
ing homo during the summer, much
improved and with bright hopes of an
ultimate recovery. But disease was
lurking in the system, and after q
short illness of only week, he left us,
SO unexpectedly, and has been trans
planted to brighter home above. He
was christian boy, uniting with the
church in May, 1877. His early death,
being about sixteen years of age, did
not find him unprepared. Let other
boys be admonished and choose in
their youthful days the better way.
