CAPT. COCHRAN PROTESTS.

Capt. ]. y. Cochran then addressed the meet
ing advising the people to be very careful as
to who they elected as delegates, and caution
ing them not to 90 into the trade with their
eyes shut. He thought that us long as the
company had Il dollar it was better for them
to hold on to the road. After we had exhaust
cd every dollar that we could get, and could
go no farther with the work. 1t would then be
time to talk about selling out to an unknown
set of men, who had not even made Il
proposition in writing, and whose personal
identity was not known to this people. But
If II should be thought wise to sell out we
should require security in hundred thou
sand dollar gilt edge bond for the faithful per-
formance of the work, and also n deposit in
bank sufficient for the payment of interest on
the township bonds.

runaway wife had never written to her
husband to apprise him of her where
hard, had grown into such habit that
by this time nothing could have forced
her to break it. She suffered. and she
told herself that she deserved to suffer.
She trained the thorns of remorse with
hand of constant care, and cultivated
unhappiness as only a penitent and
woman could. And all the time she
waited in sort of hopeless hope for
her husband to make some effort to re-
cover her. Had he found her, he could
have taken home not merely wife, but
lover 50 full OF love and penitence that
she would have been his lifelong slave
for no more than the privilege OF seeing

that grew bitterer and heavier day by

women bear until they learn to cherish
it, babe him throw the burden away.

At ten o'clock Sunday evening May 30th,
the community was thrown into excitement
by ringing of the fire bells and the turning
out of this fire company. 1t proved that some
miscreant had set the basement of the Uni.
versalist church on fire by throwing
lighted cigar or matches into the wooden
tubing that conveyed cold air TO the furnace
from the rear of the church. There had been
no fire in the furnace for two or three weeks.
Two young men who were passing along the
street saw filckering light in the church and
discovered smoke issuing from the same.
They burst open the doors rang the bell,
turned out the people and the fire company
who extinguished the flames. The fire had
burned through the floor about the register in
front of the pulpit. Probably the same par.
ties done it who have recently been about
our village pulling up ornamental treess and
shrubs and defacing flower gardens.
