Rev Jesse Alderman is with relatives
 Tn New York state, on two weeks visi
 where he has gone to recruit from his recent sickness.
 John l.. Landon was home from Dan
 bury to remain over Sunday.
 The water was let into the new Hume Saturday, and the machinery started again, it having been idle since the work of rebuilding was in process.
 The funeral of Peter Keegan was held last Wednesday, and the burial took place at the Catholic cemetery. He was 57 years of age.
 Prof S. T. Frost of Cornwall preached at the Methodist church, Sunday. A boom in the confectionery trade seems to have struck town, and it struck the postoffice heavier blow than at any other business stand i'll the place. MT Crandall has very large and fine assor- ment of candies which numbers over fifty varieties and receives new stock every two or three weeks from Kibbe Brothers of Springfield.
 Rev H. B. Mead accepts the call to the pastorate of the Congregational church at Jacksonville, Fla, and leaves for that point this week. His family will remain here. This church we un- derstand is the largest and wealthiest in the city. The city has increased from 5000 to 25,0OO during the last de- cade and is destined to become one of the largest cities on the gulf, it being 8 centre of the railroad and shipping in- terests ln the state. MT Mead will be- gin his labors with that society the first Sunday in October. While regretting his departure from among us we con- gratulate him on his happy outlook.
 We learn that the people of Cornwall were much tickled with the idea that the sermon by their pastor recently in- stalled there, which was preached here two weeks ago by way of exchange, was we'll received here and that the ''we XYZ" of that burg would not s,oap for ''three deacons to boot" Gracious deacon timber must be plenty in that neighborhood; but by way of argu- ment let me inform the writer that while entertaining the greatest respect for for their pastor that the officiating pas tor here has occupied the pulpit in this church for eight years past and is there fore we'll known and the idea of ''swap- pAuS W1tu UT W1buOuT UOOG udS never been entertained by the people here.
