Mr. Edit0r:-I think the compliment
paid to Mr.. and Mrs. ID. w. Hildreth in
last weeks MONITOR is a mistake. Fact
| is, know the gentleman well; at least, /
think do, and all his peculiar character
istics. With this knowledge OF his char
acter | am sorry to say that he takes but
little interest in church matters whatever.
l mean by this that he neither prays, sings
winnowed hymns, or exhorts either open
| ly or in secret. He is better posted in
| Shakespeare than the Bible; and he never
| quite understood Shakespeare. The only
| time he ever assisted the church was once
at a festival, when he turned the handle
of an ice cream freezer; and he hired
substitute to do that. He never donated
to a church without an equivalent; and
he generally saw the equivalent before he
| donated. He fears a minister more than
a Numidian lion not that there is any
thing particularly dangerous about min
lister, but somehow they are not associat-
ed in the same work. Relating to his
wife, if l have been rightly informed, he
never did possess one, has none at the
present writing, and unless somebody
takes compassion upon him, in all proba-
bility never will. He has bobbed serenely
for one for the last ten years, but without
being rewarded with even bite. Some
how he don't use the right bait, or else he
is too widely known; l refrain from say
| ing which. The correspondent who wrote
the article meant well no doubt, but he
has eulogized the wrong man. In all
probability he intended the father; but he
has hit the son. The son feels no resent
ment at receiving his fathers praise, but
does feel uncomfortable with ''Mrs.''
attached to his name when he holds no
enforcement to prove it. The item, Mr..
Editor, should have read Levi w, instead
of d. W., as printed. DAVID HILL.
West Charleston.
Grass is the lightest ever known
in this vicinity, at this season of the
year.
Austin Foss and wife from Chico
pee, Mass, are in town visiting

Drs. Rutherford and Human per-
formed another operation on the foot
of Charles Church last Tuesday, this
time removing the large toe and
some more pieces of bone. Mr.. c..
is now gaining.
Rev. d. |. Quint returned from
the funeral of his sister-in-law in
New Hampshire, so ill that he was
unable to preach last Sabbath. He
is better, however, and has caught
the spirit of repairing, which seems
just now to pervade our little village,
and has cut away the bushes and
briars, and built neat fence next to
the sidewalk, which very much i'm
proves the looks of the parsonage.
Last Tuesday horse belonging to
j. s. Cook, broke from where he
was tied in the door yard of George
Cook above the village, and ran
| about mile down into the village.
On emerging from the covered bridge
he rushed upon the bank in front of
ID. l. CUNTS, striking his head
against the ledge with such force as
to knock him down instantly. He
was much injured about the head
and one leg; and the spring board
to which he was attached, was pretty
well demolished

Mrs. Kendall at the Center is hay
ing her house thoroughly repaired.
Mrs. Riley has moved into Fred

formerly a soldier, went to the Sol
diers' Home in Augusta, Maine, last
week. He has been sick for long
| time
The Children's Day exercises at
M. E. church yesterday were of great
interest. The singing of the children,
| the decoration of the house and the
address of Mrs. Tibbetts were each
very creditable.
