THANKSGIVING Service.

Rev's. Barrow and Rowland are
thorough believers in the adage,
Union is Strength, and they gave
practical evidence of their belief in the
union Thanksgiving Service held in
the Cong. Church last thursday morn
ing. A larger number nan on former
thanksgiving services, was in attend
ance. Punctually at 1880 A. NJ.
Rev's. Barrow. Norris and Rowland
took their seats on the platform when
the services commenced with volun-
tary from the organist, Miss Hattie
Philleo, and a beautiful anthem from
the choir. The pastor loci read the
hymns and offered the opening prayer.
Rev. j. S. Norris read an appropriate
selection of scripture, and Rev. Bar
row gave an earnest practical address
on Thanksgiving to God" Rev. l..
f. Cole pronounced the benediction.
The singing was excellent and reflected
as it always does, great credit on the
efficient choirster G. FL. Slocum, who
spares no pains to render the services
of praise all that is desirable. Services
of this character are highly calculated
to promote general good feeling and to
bring with peculiar force and beauty
the words of the Psalmist to our
minds, behold ho,o good and hoo
pleasant thing 1t is for brethren to
dweH together IN mity!"

A California Judge. whose name
ought to have been published, is en-
titled to everlasting praise for estab-
fishing the fact that the use of abusive
and obscene language by man to his
wife and children is extreme cruelty.
The pain from wounded feeling is often
more severe than lacerated limbs, and
it is well to recognize the fact in law

do not count the praise of the world,
but perform the actions which de-
serve it-Tilton.

who was visiting there. He heard that
she had been intimate with other men, and
arming himself with revolver went to
the house where his wife was stopping and
commanded her to kneel and confess.
She refused to confess anything and he
fired, the bullet taking effect in the back of
chair. He then fired another shot, but
she lodged it. Pingree was arrested and
bound over in $500. He has a most nm
governable temper. In court his wife, wo-
