tains one of the best public readers in
the state. We refer, of course, to Mr..
Fayette Strobridge. Although yet a
young man, he has paid no little at
tention to this accomplishment, and is
really excellent. He read the other
evening before the Improvement club,
and with marked success. His voice is
peculiarly suited to this branch of elo-
cution, being full of strength, music
and adaptability. We heartily COM
mend him to lecture committees as one

Waterford.

Mr.. Ephraim C. Parks died suddenly
at the residence of his son, Hiram
Parks, in Waterford, on the night of
October Both. He arose from his bed,
and passing into another room for some
purpose, was heard to fall, and when
reached by the family was quite dead.
He leaves several SONS and daughters,
his wife having deceased some two or
three years since. Mr.. Parks was in
his 84th year, having been born in
Hanover, N. H., May 9th, 1898. He
lived and was engaged in active bust
ness in the town of Waterford about
seventy years, having been postmaster
at Upper Waterford nearly fifty years,
and held that Office at the time of his
death, writing his last official letter
just the day before. He was a close
reader of the newspapers, both secular
and religious, and retained lively in
terest in passing events. He was re-
markably healthy and vigorous, rarely,
if ever, requiring the services of a ply
stefan during life. He will be greatly
missed by large circle of friends, and
will be pleasantly remembered for
many good qualities of heart and mind,
and especially for his sweet temper
and unfailing cheerfulness, always see
ing the sunshine when others saw only
the cloud. He became Christian in
early manhood, having been a member
of the Congregational church in Water
ford fifty years. "But they that wait
on the Lord shall renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings as ca
giles they shall run and not be weary

Death Of am Old Resident

Mr.. George C. Barney died at his
residence in this place, early Tuesday
morning, aged rs years. Mr.. Barney
had been rather feeble in health for
the last year or more, but was able to
be about the village almost every day.
Sunday morning he did not feel
as well as usual, and did not go to
church. In the early evening he was
taken violently ill, and failed rapidly
until death relieved him of suffering.
Mr.. Barney is supposed to have been
was son of Capt. John Barney, and was
born in the Flint house, so called, now
occupied by w. B. johnson on the
Centre road. For many years he car
ried on the boot and shoe business in
this village, but was made postmaster
under Folks administration, and held
the office through the three admins
trations of Polk, Pierce and Buchanan.
As may be inferred, he was staunch

Mr.. Barney was taken with his final
connection with the North COngrega-
tiOnal church in this place, he having
united at the November communion,
1897. There are but two members OF
the church left of so long standing,
namely, Miss Sarah T. Crossman and

Lyndon.

On the Goth ult. Mr.. William Locke
died at his home in West SOmerville,
Mass. Mr.. Locke formerly lived in
Lyndon, and will be remembered by
very many of the readers of this no
tice. He was man of great personal
strength and courage, yet atfable and
genial in his conversation and man
ners. An incident in his early life
showing his courage, is worth record
ing: In 1885, on a dark night, Mr..
Locke, in company with a Mr.. George
Wells, was riding along the old Salem
turnpike, when, suddenly, man
caught the horse by the bride, while
a second man, at the side of the buggy,
demanded their money. Mr.. Locke
sprang from the buggy and grappled
with him. At this, the man at the
bride decamped. Mr.. Locke had a
desperate struggle with his man, dur
ing which time the robber tried to run
him through with a sword. Mr.. Locke
got the mans thumb in his mouth and
nearly bit it off. During this time a
team had driven up containing two
men who had dying, or, as they sup
posed, a dead man whom they had
found bruised and bleeding on a
bridge. This wounded man had been
robbed and beaten by these men who
tried to rob Mr.. Locke. Both men
were captured, and tried in Cambridge,
Mass. One of the robbers was armed
with a huge hickory stick, the other
with a short sword. After the cOnvic-
ton of the highwaymen, the judge of
the court, in behalf of several legal
gentlemen, presented Mr.. Locke with
the identical stick and sword, made
into a sword silver mounted,
with an appropriate inscription. For
many years Mr.. Locke carried that
cane. He was also the recipient of
silver plate from the Humane Society,
of Massachusetts, for saving life. He
lived the last eight months in torture
from cancer, but died in Christian hope.
He left second wife and daughter of
eleven years, and three daughters by
the wife whom the Lyndon people
knew-Mary, who married DR.. Asahel
Burt of Wakefield, Kansas Julia,
who married Charles Morse, Boston,
and GeOrgiana, wife of Frank Hastings
of Junction City, Kansas.

Liquor Methods ut ST. Adams.

The temperance people at st. Adams
have been holding meetings lately to
talk about suppressing the sale of liq-
uOr. They find it very easy to talk
about it, but little difficult to act eff
fectually in the matter. They are do
ing something, however, and the fol-
lowing from the Messenger of last
Thursday, shows that the field is white
and ready for a large corps of labOrers !:
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Halbert,
acting upon search warrant, obtained
by the citizens temperance committee,
seized at the freight house three bar
rels and one keg of beer owned by j..
NJ. Bell, the New York wholesaler.
This was directed to him here, and is
obtained by the local dealers by means
of orders from Bell upon the freight
agent, a ruse which has been worked
for some time. The liquor was taken
to the jail, where it now is. At the
same time barrel of rum and a pack
age of imported whiskey in bottles, di-
rected to w. S. SOule & Co., merchants
at E. Fairfield, was taken. This is
also at the Jail, awaiting disposal by
the authorities. A 40 gallon keg of
rum, also belonging to Bell, has been
standing in the station. The officers
meant to get this also, but on taking
hold of the keg it was found to be al
most empty. Some enterprising indi-
vidual had gone under the freight
house, bored hole up through the
floor and tapped the keg of its con
tents.
1t remains to be seen if there is back
bone enough at st. Adams to make this
new movement anything but spas
modic attempt which will soon be Civ
EN- up. 1t will take considerable stiff
ness of the popular spinal column to
make the move a success, but possibly
it will be found to exist in sufficient
quantity. We hope so.
