Works on architecture are always
welcome additions to a library, and to
any one who is thinking about making
himself a home they are necessity.
We have received a copy of Cottage
Homes" book published by the Or
ange Judd Co, the proprietors of the
american Agric,slturist, thorough ex-
animation compels us to admit that it
is invaluable It commences with a
plan, with instructions for a $500
house, and from this amount increases
to large and handsome mansions. 1t
also contains many practical sugges-
tons to those building that would help
to lessen the cost and improve the APP
pearance of each house designed.
The Hanoverian Family of bell
ringers and musicians gave perfor-
mances in Odd Fellows Hall last FRI
day and Saturday evenings, and those
who attended enjoyed fine musical
treat. The members of the family are
thorough musians and play on the
banioes, brass and reed instruments.
The novel feature of the entertainment
was the playing on comets and brass
horns by the lady members Of the
troupe. The musicians will appear
again in this city il March on their
homeward trip and We would advise
our citizens to attend as we are sure
they will be pleased.
During the past week new
measure of postal accommodation has.
been carried through the House with
out objection from any quarter. Stated
briefly, it authorizes postmasters to
forward newspapers, packages, and in
general, all second, third and fourth
class matter, on which the postage has
once been paid, from one post Office to
another, at the request of the party adj
dressed, without any change for such
forwarding. In other words, the rule
which now applies letters is extend
ed to all mail matter. Should this bill
become law it will furnish an addi-
tional convenience to the people
Two brothers named William
and Thomas Lyons, living at Glouces-
ter, became involved in quarrel on
Christmas morning in which the latter
received injuries which caused his
death in few minutes. The deceased
attended early mass in the morning,
and on returning went to his brothers
house, which was across the street from
his own, to inquire for his daughter
who was not at home. Not finding her
he made threat to punish her, at
which his brother objected, and fight
followed in which Thomas was knocked
down by a blow on the head. 1t is
supposed his head struck lump of ice
or other hard object, causing concus-
sion Of the brain, for he died in twenty
minutes without regaining conscious
ness. His brother went away not
knowing he was hurt, and was after
wards arrested in saloon by another
brother, who is a member of the police
force, Both had been drinking before
the quarrel.
Good schools are great public
blessing and by no other means can we
SO wisely and efectually discharge our
obligations is posterity. So long as
the children of the mechanics and
workingmen have an opportunity of
educating themselves as thoroughly
and conveniently as they are able to
do in the schools of this town of to-day,
SO long will the principles and charac-
teristics Of our country be perpetuated.
Any movement directed against the
unimpared maintainance Of the high
standard attained by our schools, is a
menace to the liberty of every poor
child. Impair the educational facilities
Of the common people and the aggres-
sionsI and expressions of the moneyed
monopolies and aristocratic classes can
not be successfully resisted. 1t is worth
thousands of dollars to Beverly to-day
to know that we enjoyed reputation
of having good schools. 1t gives high
character to our town, and in the event
of new industries being persuaded to
come here, our schools will be success
full inducements for people to locate
here to that extent that it would be of
incalculable advantage to the COM
munity.
