no appearance of the leest struggle or move
ment, he lying as in quiet sleep, his arms
folded over his chest. He had been as we'll as
usual until two or three DAYS bsfore his death

afterwards ascertained that the fire was caused
by spark from locomotive, the railroad COM
pany was obliged to pay damages. The suffer-
ers made statement under oath Of their losses,
and the company paid ons half. Very few
were insured. 1t has enabled many TO build

Accident ut Dartmouth.

A distressing accident occurred at
Hanover on Saturday last, by which "a
Dartmouth student, w. L. Howe of
Portland, Me-, lost his life. While
Howe and j. II. w. Flint, of Concord,
n. H., classmate, were walking on
the street, a shotgun in the hands of
Flint was accidentally discharged and
the contents entered HOwe's back be
tween the shoulders. He was taken
into the store in front of which he fell,
and died shortly after. Flint is over
whelmed with grief, although in dying
Howe eXOnerated him from all blame
i'll the matter. The community is pro-
foundly stirred by the shocking occur
renee. 1t is one of those accidents
which are so likely to result from the
all too common practice of carrying fire
arms and the careless handling of them

the ladies provided a bOuntiful supper,
to which hundred or more sat down.
In the evening the young people came

spiced up with games and confection-
cry. Meantime Mr.. VIM. Kicker, who
had returned from Boston the day be
fore, had been stirring about among
the people of the parish, asking for
beautifully and cheerfully responded
to by nearly all and when he had got
all around he found he had the hand
some sum of S2O6 i'll cash to give the
pastor, and some other tokens of value.
The amount and cheerfulness of the
gift surprised every one, and shows

people are in about the right spot, de
spite the attempt to prove the contrary.

money, etc. Everything passed pleas
