is the substitution of the name OF
IL. Z. Folsom for that of Henry d.
Hyde. At Il subsequent meeting of
the directors, Ex-Governor Fairbanks,
who has held the position of president
of the company since its organization,
declined a re election, on account OF

much of his time, and in fitting and
appropriate remarks nominated a. b.
Harris to be his successor, who was
unanimously elected. Col. Franklin
Fairbanks was chosen vice president

Missionary Parker's Return TO
India

Rev. E. w. Parker and wife, for
twenty years missionaries in India,
but for the past year and more in
this country, expect soon to return
TO their field of labor having engaged
passage from New York Sept. 20. The
visit of these foreign missionaries to
their native land and old home has
resulted in much good in several ways.
1t has given them needed rest; it
has been a stimulus to the missionary
cause in all this section, and the ex-
ceedingly valuable illustrated lectures
given by Mr.. Parker have opened a
new and very interesting country to
many people to whom India has here
toforc been sealed book. 1t is seldom
that this people have listened to so
valuable lectures as those given by
Mr.. Parker, and they owe both him
and Mrs. Parker a debt of gratitude
not simply for what they are doing for
them in foreign land, but also for
what they have done for them at home.

4 Fearful Runaway.

On Thursday afternoon of last week
some French parties hired a double
carriage Of Joseph Clukey to take n
child to be christened. In descending
Hastings hill the horses became fright
ened and ran, overturning the carriage
and doing it some injury, and throwing
out the five occupants. A lady was
quite severely bruised, but the others
escaped unhurt. AT the foot of the
hill and near the railroad crossing, one
of the horses struck his head against
Il telegraph pole. The shock separated
them and the injured horse went about
three rods and fell and was carried to
the stable, dying at IL o'clock that
night. The other horse of the
handsome black span formerly owned
by Col. Il. c. Fletcher-kept on to the
first house above the Hastings bridge
on the Centre road owned by Frank
Ward and occupied by Robert johnson.
Here it ran through the kitchen door
and into the buttery, and, being unable
to go any farther, thrust its head
through an open window, where the
runaway was captured. Mr.. Clukey
had been offered $50 for the horse
that was killed.
