The Carter Family.

The first minister of the town of Woburn was
the Rey. Thomas Carter. His pastorate eX-
tended from 1912 till his death in 1854. His
descendants are numerous, and at a meeting
held Sept. 26th, some thirty or more rep
resentatives of the family decided to hold a
reunion Of all who bear the Carter name The
reunion will probably be held at the historic
town OF Woburn some time next year, which is
the two hnndredth anniversary of the death of
the Rev Thomas Carter. Efficient committees
were appointed. The Chairman of the General
Committee of Arrangements is Mr.. John r.
Carter of Woburn, of the Committee on FL
nance Mr. G. n. Carter of 30 Winter street,
Boston, and Of the Committee on Genealogy
MIR. Samuel K. Carter of Paris, Me. There are
maDy who bear the name of Carter who are
not certain of their descent from the Rev.
Thomas, but all will be invited for the purpose
OF establishing genealogical facts, so far as they
are accessible; and also because those who may
not be descended from him are very likely
children OF his brother, who lived in Charles
town. The Moderator of the meeting was
Rev. Charles f. Carter of Manchester. N. H..
and the Secretary was Rev. Clark Carter of
Lawrence, Mass. Either of these gentlemen
would be glad to answer correspondence from
and become acquainted with the genealogical
facts in possession of any members of this large
family. Boston journal.

The Wing says the report of the Fish q

The Wing says the report of the Fish and
Game Commissioners shows that the enforce-
ment of the laws has resulted in notable increase
of both fish and game. AS an example of the
great work being done by the Commissioners
we will refer to the propagation of black bass.
About 1879, forty specimens of this fish were
placed in Pushaw Lake and not long before
some fish were placed in Cobosseecontee Lake
in Kennebec county. These two lakes are now
swarmng with bass and the fishing is very su-
perior. The benefits reaped from having such
splendid sport as can be had at Pushaw are
very great, much more so than would be i'm
agined at first thought. The Commissioners in
the past few years have stocked about fifty
ponds in the State with black bass, and the
benefits resulting therefrom will be far reach
ing. The sportsmen are now abroad and the
annual fall campaign OH game birds has COM
menced. The reports are that partridges are
very abundant and it is anticipated that deer
will be plentiful later in the fall.

The Reduced Postage Rate.

Post Office officials are in doubt as to the ef-
feet of the reduced letter rate on the postal rev.
enues. The general est mate is that it will re-
suit in a reduction, although those who are
most earnest in urging the two-cent rate are of
opinion that the increase in correspondence,
which will be encouraged by the reduction of
postage, will have the effect to at least maintain
the revenues at the former standard The Of
tlcials expect that it will be some weeks before
this question will be settled. The stamp itself
has not created pleasant impression. A Gov
ernment official, who has collection of all the
Government stamps, says that the new two-cent
stamp is perhaps the ugliest of the series. The
contractors are said to be themselves dissatisfied
with the die, and are working upon new one,
but the demand for stamps has been so great
that il will be necessary to use for some weeks
the die which was first accepted. One of the
most frequent inquiries which have been receiv-
ed at the Post Office Department in connection
with the change is whether old threc-cent
stamps will be exchanged for the new tWos.
The department has refused to do this for pri-
vate citizens, but has done it for the de
partments which have exchanged large guam
titles of the old stamps. The cost to the Post
Office Department for the manufacture of the
stamps is nine cents for "A sheet of one thousand.
The Government would lose that by eXchang-
ing without deduction; besides, the clerical
force in most Post offices is inadequate to the
additional labor which would be made necessa-
ry'if there was to be Il general exchange.

In one of our hotels, says the Dover IN. H.)
Democrat, there appeared one evening this
week granger couple who were evidently on
a wedding tour. They had supper, and went
to the parlor. 1t grew late, and the bride re-
tired, agreeing to ring to the office when the
groom might come. The groom sat on the
lounge in the office and waited patiently Final
ly he walked to the desk and wanted to know
if that bell had not rung. A negative answer
sent him back to the lounge. About II O'Clock
he inquired again, and, learning that the bell
had not rung, went back to the lounge and fell
asleep. In the morning the porter awoke him,
and he used unpariamentary language. swear
ing he would see whether his wife would make
him sleep on lounge all night. A divorce
seemed to be imminent, and the hotel clerk was
surprised to see the twain together in few
hours as happy as turtle doves. Her excuse
was satisfactory. While lowering the gas in
her room she had turned it clear out. and could
not find the bell.
At the time of the death of Senator Matt III.
Carpenter the statement was widely circulated
that he died q pauper, leaving his family entire
ly destitute. An appraisal of his estate now
shows that the Milwaukee and Washington
real estate, notes, bonds, and securities in the
hands of the widow aggregate 100000. The
estate when entirely settled will net $150,000.

pared for the saucepan or the frying pan.
To thoroughly deodorize the boiling
cabbage or the frying onion is next door
to impossible, but the etfluvium may be
mitigated. A large piece Of bread is
sometimes put upon the knites point
while onions are being peeled in order to
prevent the fearful effect which the pun
gent esculent produces on the eyes; and
We have lately been told in popular
cookery book that the offensive results
of cabbage boiling may be well-nigh got
rid of by wrapping up in piece of clean
white linen rag a large lump of bread,
and putting it in the saucepan of water
in which the cabbage is being cooked.

The Barron Case.
THE AUDITORS REPORT TO THE SUPREME

JUDICIAL COURT.
The auditors in the case of the Dexter Say
ings Bank vs.. the estate of the late j. Wilson
Barron. have made report to the supreme iu-
dicial court at Bangor. The balance due from
the Barron estate to the bank is found bv them
to be $2,0l1.3S including interest. The docu-
ment is very lengthy one and treats elaborate
ly of the various features. The report con
cludes. I'VE do not feel called upon to form any
suicide of Mr.. Barron, because we are satisfied
from the evidence that there was substantially
no money in the bank at the time of Barron's
death, and whether Barron came to his death
by murder or otherwise the amount of money
in his possession i'll the bank was so inconsid-
cradle as not to materially effect the situation
of the parties litigant or change the result of
our conclusion"
OF the amount which the auditors decided
that the Barron estate is indebted to the DeX-
ter Savings Bank, $561.91 is for interest.
Among the principal items is S213.S2 necessary
to balance the account on the cash book, after
deuucting the cash on hand at the time of Bar
ron's death; S652.55 for five special deposits
made at the bank, but not entered by Barron :;
1920 charged for a United States bond, Just
prior to Barrons death, and which the auditors
decide was not purchased. The report of the
auditors does not settle the case and either par
ty has right to ask a trial by jury. 1t is prob
able it will come before Il jury, although the
present indications are that it will not come
out at the present term of court now i'll ses-

The Crooked Logic of the Frog Age.

When Bro. Rust of the Belfast Age, claiming
that he was the Grand Mogul Of Greenbackism
in the 9th Congressional District, asserted, or
at least strongly implied, that the nomination
of L. III. Murch instead of VIM. NJ. Rust, as the
Congressional candidate, was burning shame
and disgrace, Bro. Rust was right and logical.
When Bro. Rust, former Republican. endeav-
ors to persuade his former Republican associ-
ates who went off to Greenbackism, that the
Greenbacker should now go into the Democrat
c ranks instead of returning to the Republican
party, he is wrong and strangely illogical.
His argument put into the form of a pream-
BILE and resolution, is this. Whereas The Re-
publican party has come very nearly in accord
with the principles of the Greenback party in
regard to financial questions, and whereas,
there can be but two parties, therefore:
Resolved, that Greenbackers should here
after act with the Democratic party. [Aroos-

The New England Potato Crop.

The New England Homestead publishes
very exhaustive reports from 100 correspond
ents relative to the great potato crop of 1888 in
New England. the Provinces and New York,
where this crop is the leading income. These
reports show that the farmers at the East,
North and i'll New York are generally holding
for higher prices than the 25 and 50 cents per
bushel offered. While there has been fully -
per cent. increase in the acreage of potatoes
compared with last year in the territory cover
ed by the reports the yield in the great ship
ping sections of the Provinces and Aroosook
county, Me-, is not as large as was anticipated.
The supply, however, is large and the Home
stead sees no ground for anticipating Il ma
terlaI advance in value for two months yet
Then it looks for gradual Improvement, but
thinks 10 to 50 cents will be the highest whole
sale price ut Boston in March and April next
This, however, is largely probIematical. Taking
into account the shrinkage, the expense of
handling and the liability of rot and freezing
the probabilities are that the farmers distant
from markets may do we'll to sell when they
can get 40 cents bushel or more. Those in
close proximity to markets may do we'll to
work OFT their crops ut 90 cents to 60 or more
before the cheaper northern potatoes come into
competition with them. The wisdom Of hold
ing or selling will depend upon the farmers
individual resources.
