l 70. o. West, democrat, led his ticket and was chosen first selectman, last Mon. day, by large majority. A townsman in congratulating him said that he had not seen him look so happy since the failure of the balloon ascension at the Stafford fair in 1886.
 (Cerrespondence.) The annual election for town officers passed off very quietly, and the new meth cd of balloting seems fo be satisfactory. The town was democratic by some 35 ma jority The amendment vote was 321 yes, 879 no. There were 1884 ballots cast for town officers, so large percentage voted on the amedment. The license question was not voted on, so remains as before license. We give the list of principal of ficers elected, all not designated with an being democrats: o. 0. West, Lawrence Young, John Wagner, r, selectmen G.. W. West, r, town clerk and treasurer Charles H. Laubscher, Silas Putnam, G. w. Randall, r, assessors Phillip Kramer, Martin Doane, Chauncey H. Strickland, r, board of relief; Michael Shea, Legrand Fl. King, Martin Cavanaugh, Richard Brady, Frederick Harding, r, John w. Watkins, r, J. Paul Haun, r, constables Edwin l.. Heath, Wm. V. McVerney, r, registrars Of voters.
 The two fatal accidents have cast something of gloom over those employ. ed on our new buildings, although there seems to be no blame attached to the con. tractors or their foremen. Antione Oolumbe the Canadian, who fell at the memorial building, was man of family, having a wife and six small children in Holyoke Mass. The two men, Augustus Jansen and John Hansen, who fell some 70 it. last Friday from staging around the tower ot the new Union church and were fatally injured, Jansen falling on stone buttress and breaking his back and ribs, forcing the ribs in upon his lungs, and dying i1 about four hours after. Hansen was in iured on the head, but lived over 12 or 1s hours. They were Swedes and unmarried Their remains were taken to Worcester fol burial. Hansen had one or two brothers there. The cause of the staging's giving way, causing this accident, is one of those mysterious happenings that frequently oc cur. Much more weight had been on tho same staging that same forenoon. The new buildings are going along finely, con sidering the amount of rainy weather VI have had. The roof is upon the bank build ing, and the bricks for the arch between the tie beams are accommodating. Tn, stone work of the church is all up excep the tower, and the skaters are slating thu roof, and the memorial building is as ia along. Doane's Block is being built in side first, that is the floor beams and joist are put up before the walls.
 The Union church society have by nearly unanimous vote extended a call t, Rev. James Dingwell, of Danielsonville to become their pastor, at salary of $2O0' and parsonage.

A bountiful supper was provided, followed by vocal and instrumental music. The Ashford Brass Band was, prominent in the evenings entertainment. The presents were num- erous, valuable and useful, not the least of which was $32 in cash. The Rev. Messrs. Thatcher and O. P. Bissell were present. Guests from Sterling, Plainfeld and Brook lyn, Ot., and Lynn, Mass, were noticed in the company. Many others from a distance who were unable to be present sent substantial remembrances. As a whole the affair was pronounced success. s H.. 8.
