W: c., Rev: l. p. Booth; w. NJ, Luther B;

Clark; organist, Jessie Jones. Appropriate
resolutions were passed respecting the late Mr..

Der of the lodge until Ill health prevented his
attendance at the meetings.
A QUIET wedding took place last Wednesday
evening at the residence of Mrs Kimball on
Central street by which her daughter, Miss
Abbe, was united to Willis F. Baker, Esq.
Rev. F. G. Cowper, rector Of St Mary's church,
OBLIGATED, and only very small company OF
relatives and intimate friends were present.
There was large number of presents, useful,
valuable, ornamental and otherwise and the
young couple begin their married life with the
best wishes Of a large number of friends. They
will remain, of course, with Mrs. Kimball.
MECH interest and amusement was occa-
stoned by the suit of Andrews Us. Richards,
tried before Justice Holton Saturday night, w.
F. Baker being counsel for the plaintiff and F.
Plumley for the defendant. 1t is said that OF
the plaintiffs whole debit account OF about
eighty dollars thirty-six dollars was for time
spent in attempts to settle accounts for the de-
PENDANT. One charge was for forty hours spent
by the old gentleman in trying to settle Rich
ards accounts with Mr. Bacon. The case is
with the court" and decision will be rem
dered Saturday.
DURING the absence of the wife of young
man living on Central street, he has been as
sisted ~ in his house keeping operations by
some young lady relatives and friends. One
day last week " Jim " took home some oysters
for supper, but during the cooking process
they accidentally or otherwise got pretty thor
oughly seasoned with alum The gentleman
thinks the girls could not tell the difference be-
tween alum and salt, but they claim that they
were only picking the bivaves. Their expert
ment seems likely to be successful in one re-
/ spect at least, they will probably keep long
, time-before anyone eats them.
: MIR. ALoNzo WILMoT died on Friday after
long and painful illness The funeral was
held at his late residence, corner of Water and
Summer streets, at two O'Clock Sunday after
noon Rev. l. p. Booth, pastor of the Univer-
salist church, officiated and large number OF
friends were present The ipterment took
! place in Elmwood cemetery. Although it had
t been evident for some time that his lease OF
r life was short, the blow when it came fell
heavily on his wife and daughters During his
residence of about three years and a half in
this town Mr.. Wilmot had gained the respect
Q of the community and his loss is deeply
r mourned.
, THE new time table is more unsatisfac
: tory than any which we have had for many
, years before. Halls train, morning and even
. ing, is taken off, and now persons having bust.
: ness in towns north of here must go at about
half-past nine in the morning and return al
about eleven at night. We think the people oil
a this town will be ready to send representa-
a tive to the legislature next year, who will ust
! his efforts to have the regulation of railroad
!, time tables put into the hands of a commits
- sion that will give some attention to the &C
commodation of the local traffic which has t
!, support the road. We have no objections Il
o the running of fast through trains, but thu
:, railroad, as public corporation depending fo
4 its existence on the grants made by our legis
= lature, must recognize our right to local &C
u commodation.
