Peachaml.

Cshthahhs
Rev. Carlos Martyr of New York
city, brother of Rev. S. S. Martin, oc-
cupied the Congregational desk last
Sunday.
The young people are camping out
at WinOOski lake this week.
The peach festival held on the
grounds of w. H. Ash last week proved
a very pleasant affair.
A match game of base ball between
the Peacham best and the Danville
best was called. and was witnessed by
a large crowd of people. The game,
which was very interesting one, re-
suited in a score of 13 to 30 in favor of
the Peacham nine, and as this game
was the rubber" so to speak, the I'M
derstanding was that the defeated club
should pay for the supper; but when
supper was announced, some of the de-
feated nine declined to 'pay up" con-
sequently the Peacham boys had to
pay for their own suppers, and we IN
derstand they paid for one or two OF
the Danville boys. AS the tables for
supper were being set the second time
shower put stop to the proceedings,
but through the kindness of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Kicker tables were set in
their house where every one received
the best of attention. At seven o'clock
in the evening, the skies having
cleared, the company assembled on the
grounds, which were lighted by Ian
terms suspended from the trees. A
stage had been erected, from which the
NJ. E. choir furnished music, followed
by a prayer by Rev. Mr.. Little of Gro
ton, after which addresses by Rev. Mr..
Mcdonald from Danville and Rev. Mr.
Little were delivered. At eight O'Clock
the tables, both on the grounds and at
Mr.. Ricker's, were replenished again
and after doing ample justice to then
the company broke up and retired t.
their respective homes. Everything
passed off pleasantly, and, socially, i
was success, while financially it ex

An Indignant Passenger.

If one wanted to see man right
eOusly indignant he should have looked
upon Fayette P. Brown of YOnkers, n.
Y, last Thursday afternoon soon after
the Boston train left with his OvercOat
and grip-sack, while he was sitting Sc
renely i'll the next car in the rear which
unfortunately was bound for the White
mountains. As Mr.. Brown had an i'm
portant appointment to meet at Mont
pelier that evening, and as his over
coat and satchel had gone out on the
last train for the day, he felt a good
deal as the man did who had driven
his oxen up long hill with load OF
pumpkins, and looked about just III
season to see that the tail-board had
come ont and that his golden loading
was all rolling down to the bottom o.
the declivity. There was nothing in
the language of the United States thai
would suitably express his feelings.

supplied the pulpit at the Methodist
church last Sabbath.
At the village school meeting last
week, the district voted to fit up the
room in the upper part of the house
and divide the school, there being
plenty of scholars to fill both rooms.
A very wise plan.
Mr.. Brand, who has sold dry goods

cord, where he has bought a building
and intends going into business as soon
as he makes necessary repairs.

The Churches.

Rev. Geo. II. Ide did not preach at
the North church on Sunday morning,
not being in town over the Sabbath as
was expected. Mr.. Ide's place was
| filed by Professor Fairbanks, who
preached very able sermon upon the
| faithfulness of Christians. The Chris
tan should be faithful because he owes
it to himself, to those around him, and
to the God who bought him. He said
the worlds people have a right to hold
the Christian to a strict accountability
as to his profession and practice, and
he enjoined upon his hearers a due re-
gard for their influence. The sermon
was very thoughtful one and eminent
ly practical.
Our Boston correspondent gives some
thoughts from a sermon delivered in
the Shawmut church in that city on a
recent Sunday by Mr.. Ide, which will
be of interest to our readers.
At the Sunday-sch concert in the
evening, in addition to the other exer-
cises, remarks were made by Rev. H.
I. Fuller upon the Importance of the
young choosing the right path in life.
At the South church in the morning
Rev. Edward T. Fairbanks preached
his first sermon since his return from
abroad. He took for his text the last
words of the children as they badt
him adieu, "And the Lord shall pre-
serve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth and even forever
more" He said that as he stepped on
board the steamer, their words rang il
his ears, "And the Lord shall preserve
thy going out" In mid-Ocean and of
in the silent watches of the night, they
came to him with overcoming force
AS he rode in the railway coaches, over
bridges and through mountains, a SENSE
of his danger came to him, and thes,
words cOmforted him, "And the Lore
shall preserve thy going out" On hi.
return, as the vessel plOwed the track,
less deep and as he felt "a sense of hi
own ittleness, the words. "And tn,
Lord shall preserve thy coming In,
required to him with great force
and as he first stepped over the thresh
old of the church on his return the re
mainder of the message came to hin
with great force, ''from this time fortl
and even forevermore," as indication.
His watchful care and guidanc,
; throughout his future life. What wa
true of him, he said, applied equal,
we'll to all.
In the evening he spoke to the chill
dren at the Sunday school concert, Civ
ing description of his visit to Bedfor,
Jail, where Bunyan was imprisoned
= suppiementing the description with
sketch of this noted Christian an,
writer. The sermon and the evenin,
/, talk were highly interesting, and wer
= much enjoyed by the large number
present to hear and to welcome hin
. back.

A Great Loss.

On Barnum's day an esteemed sub
scriber from the country called upon
us and dolefully announced that he
had lost his pOcketbOok on the road.
In reply to our query regarding the
value of the loss he said it contained
one free Autograph ticket to Jumbo.
In Il subsequent conversation our
mournful friend incidentally mentioned
that the pocketbook also contained one
note for SIG, another for $56, and Sl7
in cash, but these trifles only came out
informally and the great disaster seem
ed to hinge upon the loss of the ticket.

Jumping on and Off Moving
Trains.

The sad accident narrated in the
CdledOnidn of last week, by which Her
bert H. Parker was almost instantly
killed at West Burke, should serve as
warning to people to be cautious how
they jump on and off trains while in
motion. By advising caution we mean
not to do it under any circumstances
Trains stop long enough at a station to
allow passengers to alight before they
start, if they are only ready when the
station is reached. 1t is the custom of
many to stand on the depot platform
and chat with friends until the train
starts and then with hasty shake of
the hand and a goodbye word they
rush and jump aboard. 1t is not to be
wondered at that so many are injured
in this manner. 1t is a marvel that
there are no more. The accident men
toned was far removed from such gross
carelessness of which we are speaking
but any one who will stand at our de-
pot and observe the risks taken By
passengers in boarding trains cannot
but be shocked at the carelessness ex.
hibited. A person may follow this
practice all his life, nearly, without in
jury, but he is liable to do it one toe
many times, and as the consequence Of
this one act of supreme folly is killed
or MANNED for life. Life is too short
and the vigor and strength of limb ant
body should be too highly priced, to
endanger them in any such reckless
| fashion

Conductor Bean receives very gen
eral censure by the public for not slow
ing the train at West Burke enough so
that Herbert Parker could get off with
out risk of his life. The fact that Par
ker made the request because he was
i'll and wished to go home would seem
to have warranted the conductor in
letting him off, even if he had not come
from a connecting road.

A Large Crowd and No Arrests.

On Saturday, taking the probable
number of people that were in the
place from outside towns together with
the tOwnspeople who were on the
streets and at the afternoon and eve
ming performances of the circus, it
would be very modest to put the num-
Der of people at $4,000. With this
number of people we heard of no row.
dyish behavior or of drunkenness.
The police report no arrests and day
of unexampled quiet. This is a fact
which should be considered by those
people who are inclined to scott at the
results of an enforcement of the pro-
hibitory liquor law. Does any one
think that the same order would have
prevailed if there had been several
places where liquors were dealt out
during the day

A Portable Hotel.

On the payroll of the Barnum Lon
don combination are $50 people, near
" four hundred of whom are fed in
the commissary department accompa-
nying the show. These people, except
ing those who are quartered at the no.
tells, are divided into four classes and
fed in four different tents. AS they are
fed three times a day, the cOmmissariat
must provide nearly twelve hundred
meals day. In these three meals are
consumed 1900 pounds of meat-steak,
pork, veal and mutton. On certain
days the meat ration is reduced and
1900 pounds of fish substituted. On
'bean days" he uses two bushels and
half for the noon meal. Twelve
hundred lOaves of bread and seven
ty-five gallons of milk is the stand
ing daily order, to say nothing OF
the pastry. A walk through these
tents reveals a neatness of the tables
and look of whOlesomeness about
the cooking that would hardly be ex-
pected. The food looks well, there is
enough of it, and it is served well
This feature is only one of the many
excellent features of this great show.
