Jimmie Frost, the little lad who had
his eye injured last week with the sling
shot, is still suffering greatly. His phys.
ician, DR.. johnson, cannot tell as yet
whether the sight is gone or not. The
eyeis badly swollen, and the other good
deal inflamed, and great danger is apprc-
hended Of the child's losing the sight OF
both eyes. We were misinformed in oul
statement last week about both the chill
dren having sling shots, as James had
none. We certainly hope for all parties
concerned that the accident may not
prove as serious as the appearances even
yet indicate.
Our delightful Indian summer is end
ed. IT. wound up its affairs in Minnesota
last week, and took it's departure for the
south, and bestowing a passing blessing,
has gone to fill it's mission in other climes.
Truly, fair nature has smiled upon the
sons and daughters of Minnesota with the
balmiest of balmy weather. Well, while
the birds, and the flowers, and the balmy
breezes, and warm skies, are absent from
US, let us live in the sunshine of benevo-
lence and happy hearts. Human charity
is more appropriate and more cOmmenda-
BILE in the winter season, because it is more
needed, and because natures warm loving
charity is temporarily withheld. So lie,
us open our hearts and our hands to the
poor, and those in sorraw, and we shall
be blessed of the Lord. Let US be chart
table and our possessions shall be increas-
ed, and our houses builded larger.
Our new drug store is fully equipped

to try to enumerate all the useful and

Mrs. F. A. Brownson is canvassinG

1.-The book of N. E. Legends and Folk
Lore is equally interesting, and would
have an especial value for all N, F.. PEG.
| pie. 1t is the true history of what has
lie by poetic versions. So while Long
fellow gives us his Paul Reveres side,
Drake in this book gives us his early life
and home, and the inscription that has
constituted Christ Church a monument
to him. Whittier tells the story of the
New wife and the DID," Drake IN this
book tells us of Jonathan MOultOn's
yearning to amass wealth and selling his
soul for the possession of it, and of the
invisible hand attempting to take the
wedding ring which had belonged to the
first from the finger of the second bride
and many other fascinating legends and
true tales of e Old Colonial days of two
hundred years ago. 1t is said Whittier
is never happier than when dealing with
the Legendary lore, of which this book is
the true history. After the appearance
7 of "Nooks and Corners of the N. E.
Coast" Longfellow asked its author
.'why he had left Nahant out in the cold,
and urged him to repair the omission
which he has done in this volume, DIES
