him what tho matter was. lie said
his business had been falling off, and
that he hadn't accumulated more
than $4,000 in the past year. We
told him we pitied him; wept with
him; and then we told him of case
in which an old man unreasonably
complained of his having to share his
little pittance with u daughter in a
neighboring city who was obliged to
make shirts for 60 cents dozen or 5
cents each, six of which she could com

We regret to state that the medal
presented to DR.. Pottle last week was
appropriated by one of the visiting
veterans. The latter was very proud
of his newly acquired treasure, and on
the way to Gorham explained how he
became possessed of it,. A few of his
companions hearing his story planned
u little joke upon him, and conse-
quently when he reached Gorham he
found to his chagrin and surprise an
officer ready to arrest him. The mat
ter was finally compromised, but that
medal proved a costly investment for
the veteran.

James Ryan, John Devine and Peter
Mckay, three tramps, were arrested
by special constable Pottle ON Thurs
day of last week, for having secreted
themselves in q Grand Trunk freight
car with the intent to steal a ride.
Later in the day they were arraigned
before Justice White, who, after hear
ing the case, sentenced them to pay a
fine of SIC and costs, each. Unable to
pay this amount they were sent to the
House of Correction at Rutland, where
they will be compelled to work out
their fine and costs, amounting to
$37. II which includes $95 costs of com
mitment, at the rate Of SO 1,3 cents per
day; consequently each will be con-
fined for III days. Tramps had better
give Island Pond wide berth.

Perhaps the alteration in the revised

Perhaps the alteration in the revised
Old Testament which will interest the
greatest number of people is the aboli-
ton of hell. TO avoid any misunder-
standing or untimely congratulation,
we should say at once that we allude
not to the place those letters mean,
but to the word itself. which is now
banished into the margin, while its
place in the text is taken by the He
brew "sheol." $50 to sheol' will no
doubt become the fashionable expletive
of the season. Its prototype, in losing
all its biblical connection, will pre-
sumably lose half its efficacy. 1t will
hardly be a bad oath at all, but at
worst only marginal corruption.

A Common Sense idea.

Farmers and other out door work
ers,' have long suffered from the too
rapid wearing out of the soles of their
Rubber Boots. Dirt and gravel when
wet offer the best possible tools for
cutting and grinding away the rubber
sole, and. to this destructive agency
! Rubber Boots are continually exposed,
! from the very nature of their uses.
Some two years ago, however, the
"CANDEE" RUBBER GO. of New Haven,
Conn, hit upon the idea Of making
their boot soles d9UJlo t5jcd in that part
which undergoes the greatest amount
of wear. BY their invention the extra
rubber is added on the ball just where
it is needed, and nowhere else. So
that while the boot is increased Que
hundred fold in durability, the weight
is but very slightly increased. This
Improvement known as the Double
Thick Ball, is advertised in our col
umns by Messrs. SAGE & Co. of Bos-
ton. the "Candee" Co.'S Distributing
Agents, and those of our readers VIII o
are interested in the matter, can in
vestigate for themselves by examining
the goods on sale at those of our stores
which deal in Rubber Boots.

The past few days have been more
than ordinarily eventful to DIR. Pottle.
On Thursday of last week he distin-
guished himself by arresting, single
handed, three tramps, thereby assist
ing the State in securing their services
at reduced rates of compensation. The
same day, a few of our citizens decided
that his services should not go unrec-
ognized, and that he should be pre-.
sented with some token as an &C.
acknowledgement of his valor. Il huge
leather medal was accordingly pre-
pared, and the same, being suitably
inscribed and adorned with the
portrait of j. Ct. Blaine, (the doctor is
an ardent Democrat,) was presented
to him in the presence of a large
concourse of his friends and admirers.
The doctor, of course, was very much
overcomei but took in the situation
gracefully. In response to the numer-
Gus calls he made a brief speech, as
follows Enough has been said on
this OCCASION" Great laughter and
applause followed these remarks, the
doctor himself joining heartily. On
the following Saturday the doctor
received notice that he had been
appointed member of the State
Board of examining physicians to ex-
anime applicants for pensions, a posi-
ton that he will certainly fill with
great credit and ability, and all, ire
speotive Of political creed, congratu-
late him in securing the appointment.
And now. as if this was not glory
enough for one while at least, on
Monday morning last he was presented
by his better half with q handsome,
bouncing, lively girl baby, and both
mother and baby are'doing well. The
doctor is never morose or unhappy
except alta political defeat but since
the arrival Of that baby he has been
the happiest man in town May his
happiness long continue,

A number of the friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Abner Coe assembled at their
residence last week Wednesday, the
occasion being the twentieth anniver-
sary of their wedding. The worthy
couple were presented with numerous
tokens of respect and esteem, appro-
pirate remarks being made on behalf
fthe donors by Mr.. Vim. II. Rose
brook. Congratulatory remarks were
also made by Rev. Mr.. Todd, Mr..
Derry Page of East Burke and others.
A pleasing feature of the evenings
entertainment was the reciting of an
original poem, appropriate to the
occasion, by Miss Emma Page of East
Burke, it being her own composition
Refreshments were next served to the
assembled guests, followed by a season
of social enjoyment, and the benedic-
ton, pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Todd
The whole affair was one of great en-
joyment to all concerned. The follow
ing is the poem referred to:
just twenty years ago today
The world seemed strangely fair:
IS if the skies above and earth below
We're blended in the air.
And on that day so long ago
Two lives that separate flowed
Together met on tire stream of life
And took the selfsame road.
So with you each chose the other,
Heart for heart and hand in hand,
To journey through this world together
Toward the other, better land.
Since then of sun and shade you've had your
share;
Your burdens each has helped the other bear:
And mutual joys nave grown more far and
sweet
Because your hearts i'll unison have beat
Though your heads have bowed in anguish,
The sunshine and music flown,
Cherished hopes Were crushed and bligkted
When the Lord recalled Ills own.
Yet our friends have lived their sprinrtine.
And the SUNNI r of life has been theirs;
III autumn they've reaped many harvest.
And even to winter they are spared
And so your sons and daughters
And friends most near and dear,
Have met this day to greet you,
ThlS gladstone anniversary year.
For n waymarlI on your journey,
We have gathered here today;
And we come with kindest wishes
To bid you God-speed on your way.
Twenty years have passed of mingled sun
ana shade;
The record of those years within the past is
laid.
And now today with many word of cheer
Pastor and people meet together here
We greet you, not oS strangers, but as friends
beloved;
Charged with heavenly message from
above.
And thank you for your kindly admonitions
given,
To point the hayward heart to heaven.
| And may your future years be 10 the past
have been,
Only more and more useful as they near the
end:
| And purer, brighter be your liveswith every
! passing year,
TIL tiulqess found The throne Of God you
both appear
And when with voyage ended
fou reach the g0l ten shore
to grant ~ fliti 60 meet yOn,
When our own life jouiney's DER.
