Our neighbors Just across the line
are identifying themselves with ii
movement to increase the capacity OF
the Coaticook river with reference to
its water power Their proposition is
to dam Norton lake and the Averill
ponds, holding them in reserve to
supply the shortage in Coaticook
river. They estimate that it will cost
about $4,000 to secure the rights of
these waters, and still larger sum to
build the dam, but think it will be a
good investment.

On Tuesday last, the Feast of the
TRANSPORTATION of Christ, the Rt. Rev.
w. II. A. Bissell, D. D., Bishop of Yer
mont, made his annual visitation to
Christ Church Ct Island Pond. Morn
ing Prayer was read at SIS by the
Rector. At II o'clock there was d
celebration of the Holy Communion,
with the Apostolic Rite of Confirma-
ton. The venerable Bishop, after a
most interesting address On the subject
of Confirmation, proceeded to conform
to that first principle of the doctrine
of Christ" the laying on of hands"
Five of the children of the Church
made their profession of faith, and
confessed Christ before men, subses
quently making their first Communion.
The service was q most solemn one, as
is always the case where young people,
baptised in infancy, assume for them
selves the VOWS made for them by their
Sponsors in Holy Baptism and none
the less so when adults are brought to
the essential duty, incumbent upon all
men, publicly to confess Christ. The
sacred building was most lavishly de.
corated with beautiful flowers. Fair
hands were indefatigable in gathering
them, and in laboring to arrange them
lastly, and we are sure that there was
but one opinion as to the beauty Of
The arrangement; all felt that these
lovely gems of Gods creation were
successfully used in honoring the Lord
in his Holy Temple. The venerable
Bishop left Island Pond on Wednesday
morning for St. Johnsbury, to make
his annual visitation of that Parish
he expressed the great pleasure he hac
in this visitation, alike as to his ofiicia
duty, his kindly reception by the Par
sh, and the very cordial hospitality
of his hosts Mr.. and Mrs. George Ii
Fitzgerald.

how it came out as follows:
Where shall we spend the summer,
At Island Pond, or by the sea
Where the rustling forests murmur,
Or the salt winds whistle by.
Shall we visit famed Bar Harbor,
Or the hotels at Cape May!
Shall we camp in the Adirondacks,
Or go sailing on Newport Bay?
Europe will be so crowded
This year, and wen leave that out,
And the Sulphur Springs are passe,
And Chatauqua is too devout.
So as yet we are undec lded
Which way we shall choose to roam;
But unless our finances brighten,
We shall probably stay at home.

Literary Association last Tuesday
evening the program was unique.
The part devoted to music and reci-
tations was the very best yet prepsr-
ed by the program committee, and
was rendered in superb style through
ont. Next was the question box,
which showed that the members to
whom the questions bad been sub
mitted had searched diligently for
proper answers.
The subject for debate was the
matter of official bonds, opened by
the inimitable wag. Oliver Landrith.
1t was evident from the beginning
that somebody knew something that
somebody else did not The debate
was conducted in due style, all ac-
cording to Cushing, everybody think
ing what strange debate it was
Oliver went back into the depths OF
antiquity, about the time of Adam,
and touched upon the question OF
bonds of different epochs, and as
each epoch was disposed of he would
make an oppressive pause, apparent
ly to give time for the points made
to thoroughly soak into the under
standing of the audience, but in real
ity to kill time, so that he would Just
reach Idaho and her bond system at
the end of the time allowed each
speaker. He had just made big
leap from ancient Babylon to mod
ern Idaho when time was called. At
the close the SAID O. l.. was about
leaving the hall, or pretending SO to
do, when he was met by Deputy
Sheriff Dodge, put under arrest and
brought before Judge Kingsley. in
the chair, upon charge Of conspira-
cy-conspiring to bankrupt Idaho
Territory in general and Boise coun-
ty in particular by doing away with
bonds, and was also charged with
sundry other crimes, among them
charges of understanding at
stated times and places a large num-
Der of the Doe family. When asked
whether he preferred to have his case
come before the Judge or before
jury, he replied: 'sI'd rather be tried
by one fool than BY dozen fools"
The Judge caught on, and in the
wrath of offended. injured dignity,
fined the prisoner peck of peanuts
for contempt, the said peanuts to De
turned over to the Judge to Offset the
injury to his dignity. The cool man

and the promptness with which ne
gave 100000 bond to appear for
trial, and the readiness with which

explained that they were perfectly
good for such a bond, began to let
puss out of the bag, and the whole
crowd began to say one to another:

joke? If the latter, it was well sus-
tanned"
