IN MEMORY.

Died in Buckfeld, May 23rd, of con-
sumption, Angie p, daughter OF Gideon
W. and Nellie NJ. Hammond, aged II
years and six months.
Thus has passed to her heavenly home
one OF the fairest and most beloved of
earth's daughters. Combining beauty Of
person with lovlineSs ofheart and soul,
gentle amiabilitv with strength OF charac-
ter, she possessed those qualities in a high
degree, which endeared her TO all with
whom she had au acquaintance. Bereft
az the early age of three years Of moth
er's love and care, she became an object
OF the most tender regard TO her father
and aged grandparents, who jointly cared
for her, and though changes have since
occurred in the home circle, by all, there
has ever been felt the warmeSt affection
for Angie. Through long and painful
illness OF more than twelve months, she
exhibited remarkable courage and forth
tUde and when 81 last it became apparent
TO herself, as it had long been to her
friends, that her DAYS on earth must be few
though her heart chung TO this world which
had hitherto broughtlittle but sunshine to
the loved inmates OF home and her many
friends, still she was enabled to look for
ward hopefully and cheerfully TO the life
beyond, and to be, as she said, great
part of the time very happy. Every means
that human skill and earnest love could
devise were brought toIher aid; but when,
after much suffering, nature could no long
er sustain life, with view of the bright
city beyond the river-eyen while yet here
she sank peacefully to sleep in Jesus.
The long procession Of weeping friends
who followed her remains to the flower
iecked grave on the hillside attested to
the affection with which she was univer-
sally regarded. May heaven comfort the
hearts now chastened so heavily!
Our Angie, loved and cherished here,
Now lives in heavens unelouded light.
Her angel mother opes for her
The pearly gates OF heaven so bright.
A eloudless sky is ever hers,
Undimmed by any earthly night.

SOUTHERN FRAUDS.

Some friend in Bethel sends US a copy
OF the Southwestern CAris,idA Adcocate,
published at New Orleans, which contains
the following:
The government has been grossly insult
ed again in Alabama. The United States
court in session at Huntsville, Judge
Bruce presiding, ex-Gov. Smith, District
Attorney, tried one of the cases of election
frauds and the accused was found guilty
beyond q doubt OF counting out Lowe.
The Judge charged the jury that there
being no conflict in the testimony, and its
truth being admitted by the defendants,
they were bound TO believe the evidence,
and if they believe they must find the de-
PENDANTS guilty. Whereupon Gen. Walker,
attorney for defendants, said IL deny your
Honor's right TO make any such charge to
this jury; IL is an outrage upon the rights
Of the defendants and violation OF the
Constitution, q denial Of their right to
have this jury pass upon their guilt or in
nocence. At the conclusion or this inso-
lent language the crowd 10 the courthouse
cheered and stamped loudly for some time,
producing great disorder in the court
room. Then one OF the jurymen got up
and said: eff your Honor please, are We
10 try this case according TO our under
standing Of the law and evidence;" The
Court answered, Aft you believe the evil
dence the defendants are guilty, and yon
will so ind them" In few minutes the
jury returned a verdict of mot guilty"
The court discharged both defendants and
Jury. This angered the KuKlux and another
effort was made TO intimidate the court.
There is no doubt that Lowe, independent
candidate for Congress was elected by the
people and counted out By the judges OF the
election. In all such cases Congress
should act promptly and seat the persons

FRYEBURG, June /, 1882.
To the Editor of the Oxford Democrat:
Your correspondent is so happy as to
be guest in this fairest OF Old Oxfor d's
towns.
The season here, as everywhere, is ra-
Their late but the recent warm rains have
advanced vegetation at rapid rate. The
fresh green tint of the foliage mingled with
the sombre evergreens renders the hills
vision of beauty while from their feet the
broad intervales stretch away to the lovely
winding Saco.
Everything in this charming village is
in prosperous condition, Of which you
are kept duly informed by your regular
Fryeburg correspondents, so 1 will leave
the village for brief trip into the country.
The first noteworthy adventure is an en-
counter with genuine "Oxford Bear" Sc
renely taking an airing in the centre Of
wood.skirted meadow. Bruln seemed In
a contemplativc mood so we drove on and
left him to his musings.
At North Fryeburg Mr.. Giles has re-
moved to the old Charles store. The store
formerly occupied by him is now the prop
erty of Mr.. Greenland who adds to his du-
ties as merchant and Postmaster the SUI
pervsion OF q salework establishment.
Binford's new steam mill, at Centre
Chatham, has plenty Of business. AT pres
ent they are saving ship timber which is
shipped TO Portland ria z. & o. r. II. The
Portland parties are much pleased with
the abundance and quality of the raw ma
terial, and propose to get out lumber
through the summer for variety Of pur-
poses.
The drive OF twelve miles from the vii.
lage 10 Chatham is a most enjoyable one.
Everywhere are signs of thrift and indus
try The smooth intervale farms charm
US and as We begin TO climb the hills and
note the evidences Of patient labor which
has subdued and now keeps in order the
rugged upland farms our admiration Is
changed TO sort of reverence for these
sturdy sons of oxford whose homes CLEAN
out so costly from among the green trees.
Every few miles of our journey Is marked
by school house, and the sight OF the
happy children flying over the green, blow
ing dandies TO see if mother wants
them" seems In keeping with the joyous
abundance OF the glad spring-time to
which the reckless music OF the bob-o-link
is fitting accompaniment
We are temptingly near cold river trout
brooks, but the day is far spent aud the
water, too, is high, so reluctantly we turn
back and until another day. H. :. A.
