cancelling of the Montreal aud Boston

ment to the travelling public. Another
mixed train runs between Newport aud
Wells River, leaving Newport at 5.35
p. M, passing this place at 9.l5.
! Mrs. J. w. Balch had stroke of
paralysis on Saturday affecting her
left side so that she has not the use of
either her left arm Of leg. Her mind
and speech are not affected and she is
comparatively free from pain. 1t is to
be hoped that she will gradually and
speedily regain the use of her limbs,
and there is considerable ground for
such hope. Mrs. Balch was expect
/ ing to spend the winter with her sons
in Iowa when this atfiictiOn came.

turned from church and started to
come down the chamber stairs, when
she was taken with dizziness or faint

most. Her parents were i'll the house
and came mt once to her relief, and
found her at the foot of the stairs

The reader should sean the advcr-
tising columns closely these days. The

stock of heavy goods to save moving
them into their new storehouse. Geo
+. Grow, on the avenue, comes out
with new al. this week. L. |. Bish-
op thinks he can give points to those
wishing tickets west and south. Mrs.

roOms.-Mrs. Helen Carpenter has Il
new announcement to the ladies in
this paper.-There are number Of

With t Montreal express train
taken off. which is expected to take
place commencing next Monday, the
Boston mail will reach this place over
IN hour later-at 4:23 instead of Bis
on the mail train via. White River
Junction. This will make two mails
to distribute before the post0fice win
dow is opened. 1t is tn be hoped that
the new arrangement will have the
effect to diminish, rather than increase,
the number of people who congregate
in the postotfice lobby-the boys i'm
proving the opportunity to indulge in
scufling and otherwise annoying older
people. After this week the mails will
not he ready for delivery much before
i o'clock, and tedious wait may he
avoided by bearing this hint in mind.
Rev. DIR. Goodell had IA large and
attentive audience at the North church
on Sunday morning to listen to his de
scription of bright Days i'll Jerusa-
lem" The discourse, embodying the
results of his observations and impress
sionS, was highly interesting aud con
tanned much of interest concerning
this city, of which he spoke as "thc
centre of religious thought for thirty
centuries" The peculiarities of this
city which, while now containing only
10000 inhabitants, comprised 6O0,00O
in Solomon's time, and its people were
described. In studying the city so
fraugirt with biblical history and asso-
citations, contrasting it with its former
greatness, and in noting the changes
that have come to this religious me-
! tropoliS, he well terms the time passed
there rs bright Days in Jerusalem"
