ried to Irasburgh for burial. BY her
death the community loses one who
was much esteemed by all, and Mr..
Webster a very devoted wife. With
in the last year death has invaded
that stricken home, bearing away
three loved ones, until Mr.. Webster
is left alone. First his mother-in-
law, long resident in the family,
was taken away, and then an infant
child, and now another is borne
to the grave. The affiiction falls
very heavily on Mr.. Webster and he
has the profound sympathy of the
whole community.
The old bell on the Methodist
church, the first ever rung in this
town, and one that for many years
was rung twice a day, besides for
Sunday and funeral services, is to be
taken down, sent to Boston, enlarg-
ed by the addition of new metal, and
hung in q new iron frame. The old
bell was bought in Boston nearly fif-
ty years ago at the ''Revere' works,
noted as having been started by Paul
Revere of revolutionary fame, and

we're" 1t was given to the church
by Harry Baxter and was frelghted
from Boston by David S. Abbott,
the first male child born in this town.
Mr.. Abbott now 81 years old, is hale
and hearty and attends this same
church, which he took a prominent
part in building nearly fifty years
ago. The size of the new bell will
depend on the iberality of those con-
tributing towards its purchase; the
larger the sum the more metal will be
added to the old. Until the new bel
is hung the meeting services will be
held at the same time they are hello
at the Congregational church, and
those interested will govern them.
