~ character and interest. Although
he had not lived in town for several
years, he is well remembered by the
church of which he was a member, and
by the Y. NJ. c. A, to whose work he
rendered very efficient service. Not a
few of our neighbOring churches will
long remember and love him as the in
strument in Gods hand of reaching and
leading to Christ many who have since
lived useful Christian lives. The ster-
ling qualities of his character were dis
played in all his relations. AS a
husband, son and brother he was true
and noble. He was faithful to his en-
ployers, loyal to his convictions of
what was right, and consistent in his
Christian walk and conversation. His
business, the construction of railroad
bridges, afforded frequent tests of his
loyalty to conscience and principle. He
was often requested to work on the
Sabbath, which he refused to do at the
risk of losing his position as foreman !;
but the authorities of the roads always
recognized in him too valuable man
to lose, consequently he neither lost his
position nor compromised his sense of
honor or right. His honest, sympa-
thetic Christian life commanded the
same confidence and love among his
acquaintance i'll his New York home
which have ever been cherished by his
friends in Vermont. All lament his
early death and deeply sympathize
with his widow, parents and other near
relatives in their great loss.

change which promises improved
health for him, which impels him to
accept the call. He closes his labOrs
here next Sunday. Mr.. Lockhart has
many personal and society friends ont
side of his church who will greatly re
greet his removal. 1t is proposed to
give "A sugarparty at the vestry of the

meet him before his departure. The

outside people will join the church at
that time in bidding their late pastor
much success in his new field of labor.

4 Narrow Escape.

Those boys who recklessly endanger

find needed lesson in the incident
narrated by C. F. Ranney of the New
port Express, who passed through this
place on Thursday: At st. JOhnsbury,
on Thursday last, we saw something
which ought to deter the boys from
playing around the railroad. One of
those boys whose principal business is,
apparently, to loaf around depOts, was
on top of freight car which an engine
was shifting about in making up "A
train. He was standing close to the
end of the car and as it struck a pOr-
ton of the train standing upon the
track, it of course stopped suddenly,
the motion being communicated to the
detached cars. Motion was also COM
municated to the boy, who turned a

side on the icy track right between the

breath was sufficiently recovered to

not broken by the fall.

A Large Dry-GOOds store.

T. C.. Fletcher & Co. have cOmplet-
ed some extensive changes i'll their
store. The main room has been eX-
tended in the rear, now giving a room
eighty five feet in length. At the rear
is private office fourteen feet square.
At the opposite corner in the rear is a
room of equal dimensions designed for
a ladies' reception room. 1t contains
cloak and toilet rooms, and is supplied
with an open fireplace, with black
walnut trimmings, in which fire will
be kept burning during the cold wealth
er. Both rooms are finished in ash.
Under the new order of things the store
will be divided into departments, and
each clerk will have his or her accus
toned place. The dOmestics will be in
the rear of the store and the fine goods
i'll front. The boot and shoe depart
ment will have increased accommoda-
tions i'll the rear. The counters are of
ash, and comprise 240 feet. The car
pet room will occupy the front OF the
basement as in the past. The space in
the basement under the addition will
be used as a stOre-rOOm, as will the
room overhead, with double-doors
opening on the north side of the build
ing with arrangements for hoisting
goods. In the basement are toilet ar
engagements for gentlemen. The store
is admirably arranged in its appoint
ments, and the extensive alterations
make it first-class dry goods store.
Mr.. Fletcher has been in business here
nearly sixteen years, and the growth OF
the business from Il small beginning to
its present proportions is the fruit OF
enterprise and industry. In our adj
vertising columns an opening is an
nOunced for Saturday, when the public
are invited to call and examine the
new arrangements and improvements.
