quality what it lacked in numbers At the
close OF the exercises, one OF the Trustees,

lions, taking the greater part OF the audi
ence by surprise with the announcement
contained therein:
RESOLUTIONS
Resolved, That we have learned with sincere
regret that Prof G.. II. Kicker and Miss II. G.
vitations they have received from the near
and also remote parts OF the country. and 10
dissolve their four years connection win
Fryeburg Academy. although invited by the
Board O. Trustees 10 remain another.
Resolved. That while Prof. Rickers reputa
tion as an instructor has been well earned ana
nrmlv established by his long service In schooI
and college, elsewhere-so long; that aur, h
the last and former terms he has had under his
charge the children Of his early pupils-anu
while Miss Kicker has not only secured the re-
spect OF her pupils for her solid acquireme MS
and varied accomplishments, but also.tneir
love, by precept and example-we wish 70 add
our testimony-that the quality OF their united
has not been excelled during the
ninety-one years Of this Academy's history.
Resolved, That rs Trustees OF the Academy.
and citizens OF the town, we commend froi'
Kicker and his entire family for their cultiva
ton, refinement and practical eIemplincaion
of love TO God and man. TO any community In
which they may hereafter reside
The family will leave many friends here
outside Of the school, and the succeeding
teachers will find their work much easier
for the faithful work Of Prof Kicker and
daughter.
During q heavy thunder storm on the
evening OF July I'd, the house and barn Of
Mr.. Moses Hartman, West Fryeburg, was
struck by lightning. A horse was instant
ly killed, and the barn set on Are but was
extinguished by the neighbors, though not
until considerably damaged. The house,
though 1t did not take fire, was shattered
The bolt came from the roof
into Mr.. and Mrs. Harriman's room, pass
Ing along the bed, staving the rails and
and tearing the bed clothes and
Mrs. HIS night clothes. Mr.. H., strange
10 say, escaped without injury. Mrs. H.
was severely burned in many places but it
Is thought she will recover. From there
1t passed into the sitting room, slightly
affecting Mr.. Harrimans son who had not
retired, then 1t went all over the house,
tearing up floors and scattering things in
every direction.
Another accident that might have been
disastrous resulted from the same fash
Of lightning: A gentleman and lady were
driving up through the main street Of the
village, hurrying home to escape the
shower, when this sudden brilliant fash
30 frightened the horse that he ran into
he fence, throwing them both out, injur-
ng the wagon and breaking the fence.
Monday evening, Mr.. William Gordon
received dispatch from his brother, DR..
J. c., saying their brother Stephen Of Cor
lam, N. H., had had q shock Of apoplexy |
md could not recover. Mr.. G. started at
,nce, but his brother died before he reached
iorham.
