 A few days ago the school on Newell Hill, taught by Miss Emily Pease, closed with one of the best examinations we ever attended.
 The examination of the school in West Stafford last Wednesday, taught by Mir. A. L. Adams, was very creditable to both in. structor and pupils. The recitations show cd that good work has been done, and con- positions read by Miss Josie Dlmock and Hattie Smith, together with pleasing do- ings by younger scholars, showed strength and activity of mind. Miss Dimock's com position was entitled Thoughts on Au- tumn," Miss Smiths, "Education.
 We were sorry to miss seeing Miro Kibbe and wife, from Chicago, when they were here the other day.
 A prayer meeting of unusual excellence was held at MT. Parkil Aborn's Sunday evening last. Square Pond, like many places all around us, greatly needs those ''seasons of refreshing."

 The Stafford Springs Agricultural So- eiety held its annual meeting at Borough hall on Saturday last. The old officers were reelected. Treasurer F. H. Baker declining 10 serve longer c. F. Harwood was elected in his place. The organization now stands: President, B. 0. Dennis vice presidents, M. P. J. Walker, Gardner Hall, Jr., W. D. Holman directors, E. c. Pinney, l.. A. Aborn, Adolph Korper, M. II. Kinney, H. s. Abel, J. M. Lord, John A. Brown, Theodore Lyon, W. P. Sweetser, Charles Gary secretary, Charles F. Beck with corresponding secretary, W. F. Sweetser treasurer, 0. F. Harwood {; sup't of grounds, J. c. Anderson. It was voted to award to the Stafford Grange gratuity of $25, the offer of premiums having been made void by lack of competing entries, as conditioned by the published premium list. The treasurer's report showed the total gross receipts of the fair to have been $3, 253 08, and the expenses thus far paid have been $2, ,693. 73. There yet remains the premiums to be paid, nearly $500, and possibly very few small bills may be out standing. On the other hand it is prob able that some of these awarded premiums will not call for them, so that the society will be likely to close the fair account with very little if any loss after it has received its share of the state fund, which is a very gratifying state of things, considering the the bad weather during fair week.
 Thomas J. West, for over three years past superintendent of the Mineral Springs Co.'S. mill, has resigned and taken similar position in the mill of the Hartford Woolen Go. at Hartford, Vt.

When help arrived the roof was ablaze, but the fire was subdued, and, as was supposed, extinguished. Most of the furniture was got out meanwhile, and put into the barn. Later in the evening the fire broke ont again, and entirely de- stroyed the house. The insurance Gin A. Towards agency) was $500 on house and $500 on furniture.

 -Dr. Newton, assisted by Dr. Smith, last Tuesday removed a cancerous growth from the face of Mrs. Abram Francis of Stafford Hollow, lady in her 87th year. The growth first appeared about three months ago, and yet within that time had developed to an advanced degree. No opi- ates were administered, cocaine being ad- ministered by punctures about the place of cutting, making the operation nearly painless. This is the fifth similar opera fion performed by Dr. Newton within the yedr, and all the four previous cases have healed nicely.
