so the project has been a successful

was quite well attended. considering
the fact that there was a popular
"show'' in the village In the same

woman, good talker, but seems to
be little excited on Woman's Suf-

The donation for Rev. S. B. Cur
Tier netted $98. The lecture of
Rev. Mr.. Gates on Ireland, was
very pleasing and instructive. Mr..
Gates has visited the Green Isle and
knows whereof he speaks. His de-
scriptlons were graphic and his
treatment of the Irish question COM
prehensive and able. His lecture
before an Irish audience would be
exceedingly popular.
We are in receipt of a welcome
private letter from A. o. Clement of
Paramount, Neb. in which he states
that the winter has been a short but
severe one in that locality. The
railroads were blocked for some
days in January, and further west

loss. The winter appears to be
broken and the prospects of an early
spring good
Rev. Mr.. Moody exchanged with
Rev. Mr.. Fairbanks Of st. Johns
'bury yesterday. Presiding Elder
Granger was present at the Metho-
dist church and preached afternoon
and evening. Mrs. Perkins who ex-
pected TO speak here Saturday
evening was obliged to omit her
lecture and 10 return home on ac-
count of a Sudden illness, threaten
ing congestion of the lungs. If able
she will return to complete her en-
gagements IN the county.
The difficulty that is ordinarily ex-
perienced in winter in reaching the
village cemetery on account of the
SHOW, and the exposure and jncon-
venienced suffered by the friends of
the dead, suggest the proprety of
erecting a receiving tomb at some
convenient point where the remains
of the dead can be deposited till
such time as the weather will permit
a comfortable burial. This matter
ought to be brought up in town
meeting and discussed, when it is
probable that the town would vote a
sum of money sufficient to do this
work. If a like necessity exists at
the Landing, another tomb could be
built there and the whole town would !
be accommodated. This is a matter
of humanity and ought TO appeal to
the better feelings of every voter.
