OUR community has been shocked, and
with very few exceptions among long resi-
dents OF the city very deeply panied by
the accusations launched upon superin-
tendent Patton Of the State Blind Asylum.
This gentleman has lived in our midst for
more thantwelye years, and by his unob-
trusive and upright life has won the es-
TEEN of our citizens. As regards affairs at
the Blind Asylum, there seems to have
been a superficial investigation-by super
fetal we mean an investigation failing to
receive that kind Of testimony which would
give weight to an accusation. Such testi-
mony, for instance, as the trustees, as hon.
ored teachers or as reliable employees nigh
give. But the testimony of one or tpo
boys, and school boys, this should not be
sufficient to convince. Against this accusa-
ton, and rendering it almost negative, is
the long and efficient administration Of
Mr.. Patton, is the love and esteem Of un-
fortunate children, whom he has gently and
humanely brought from physical and men,
tai darkness to useful occupations, to the
mental light and pleasure of learning, and
to a grateful comprehension of his patient
labor. So our community cannot but be
panied by that which to right-feeling per-
sons is a source Of regret, even an effort 10
as8ail good name, name ever consid-
cred upright and true.

THE excursion to New Orleans, which
is now offered to our citizens, will doubt
less prove one of the most agreeable that
can be made. The fare is very low, and
will be so for thirty days, This excursion
receives especial rates at hotels in New

offered by the Collins Grand Excursion,

"that the best person to 60 about it will
be Squire Oldcourt. He's at home | saw
him last narket-day at Newminister, and
very pleasant-spoken he was too, as be al
ways is. Patience shall come with me and
tell the Squire all about If, and after that
we'll see"
ooh, Patience" cried Ellen; fancy
to 60 up to Oldcourt House! Perhaps you
may see The beautiful drawing-room and
the pictures. wish I had found the
fagon."
But I did not care in the least about the
beautiful drawing-room and the pictures.
Neither did wish 10 see the Squire, pleas
ant-spoken as be was. Ellen was always
much more eager after splendors than 7
was, and knew much better how to behave
towards the owners of them. Everyone
took fancy to Ellen. But I said nothing
for l knew my father would have been
vezed at my not wishing 10 60 with him,
and in the meantime the silver fagon was
taken out Of my keeping and locked up
carefully with the silver spoons.
The next day after school my father put
on bis Sunday clothes, and taking me by
the hand prepared to walk with NE to Old
court House. I, too was in my best flow
cred cotton frock, with black silk tippet
made out of my grandmother's widows
cloak, straw cottage-bonnet trimmed with
a lilac ribbon, and white cotton gloves.
The whole family gathered to witness my
departure-mother anziou8ly pulling fold
here and plat there, and telling me to
mind and make my best courtesy, not to
speak till l was spoken to, and then to
speak up and above all not to stare about
me or look as if noticed anything.
"All the same, Patience" said Jim,
mind you notice everything, and have
lots to tell US when you get home"

mother, severely; and lam sure she will.
She's her mothers own daughter tbouob

girl
Wolf whispered that lie hoped I might
be allowed to keep the silver fagon since |
wished it 50 much, and then we started.
We had not to walk far; only past the
struggling set of cottages which We dignifed
by the name of village, and for a short
distance along the Newmin.ter road. We
passed the great gates every day on our
way to school, and never failed to cast at
them glance Of mingled awe and curios-
ity. They were tall, wide, wooden gates,
painted brown, with a little door at the
side, also closely shut, and Ia bell. On each
side Of the gates stretched high stone walls,
which hid the possible paradise within. OF
course we thought it must be paradise,
and had often longed to be admitted; but
now that I was really standing at the gates
I wished myself anywhere but where
was. My father rang the bell, and then
looked kindly down at what | am sure was
a very frightened little face.
Courage, Patience, said lie; there is
nothing TO fear and much to admire in
0deourt House.
He had not time to say more for the lit
tie door was opened by an elderly woman
in clean white cap, and my father and I
passed at once into paradise.
As soon as the gate closed behind Us and
my father bad finished his short chat with
the White-oapped elderly woman, who was
very deaf, 7 gave full vent to my wonder
and delight.
"ob, father" I exclaimed, "what
splendid trees! Inever saw anything like
them before What numbers of nests
there must be in them !" And I thought
sadly Of my robin.
/" Ay," said my father, "you may we'll.
admire them, Patience. The Oldcourt
trees are famous, and the Squire loves them
like his own flesh and blood. Poor man
he has no lads or lassies to think of. His
one fear is lest all that timber should pass
into the hands Of one who would cut it all
down to fill his purse and help his pleas
ures."
We were walking up long winding
avenue, with trees on each side not by
any means regularly planted, but stretching
away III green, shady vistas, with the rays
OF the afternoon sun glinting here and
there through the quivering leaves and
turning them into gold. A perfect chorus
of songs filed the air; now and then >

Thanksgiving Services.

The union Thanksgiving service at
the North church was of unusual inter
est. The sermon by Rev. Mr.. Lam =
son was from the text "The city lieth
ur-square." The heads of the dis
course were Q) the Pilgrim idea of the
individual man. (2) Respect for the
authority and sanctity of the home.
(3) The Pilgrim ideal of the state. (4)
The Pilgrim idea of the church. This
four-square proposition the speaker
worked into q most symmetrical,
thoughtful and finished discourse,
which was listened to with marked at
tention by the large audience present.
Rev. E. II. Sandford assisted in the
service, aud the voluntary and opening
piece by the choir were especially
good.
Thanksgiving services were held in
St. Andrews church. Rev. F. S. Fish
er officiated and preached an interest
ing sermon appropriate to the day.
Thanksgiving services were also
held at the Presby terrain church.

The EARLY Christian Church.
Rev. Edward II. Fairbanks has been
giving some very interesting diseourses
at the South church on Sunday even
ings on subjects relating to the history
of the Christian church. One evening
the first century of the Christian church
was the topic, on another the second
century and another the history of the
reformation under Hezekiah. The
subjects were illustrated with both
charts and diagrams drawn by Mr.
Fairbanks and have interested all who
have heard them so much that they
hope for continuation of the series.

NORTH DANVILLE.

Mrs. Erastus Drew, who died Nov
Goth, had long and wearying illness
which she bore with Christian patience
and great fOrtitude. Life looked bright,
but her continued weakness and pain
made her long for the only rest which
remained for her. A singular circum-
stance connected with her death will
bear relating. For two years she had
kept a very tame, pet canary. So
tame was this bird that she could take
it up in her hand at anytime. The
bird died just "a hours after Mrs.
Drew, and was laid away in the same
casket.
