Editor of Ne,cs:
 The undersigned, members of the old fogy firm of Health, Comfort X Econo- my, beg leave to use your columns to enter their protest against at least one of the new tangled inventions of this so- called age of progress. We got over to the school house the other night just after the meeting adjourned and some of the young bloods, who say that stage coaches have had their day, had the impudence to tell us that we are always behind the time. We'll, that is neither here nor there. We learned that at the meeting they had voted to brick up the good old fire place and use the tax pay ers' money to buy one of these patent wood stoves. Now all three of us, and our grandfathers before us, went to to school where fire place was con- sidered good enough to keep warm by, and we just held an indignation meet ing when we heard what the wise men of the present had done.
 Health said "We stood it and I guess our children ought to be as tough as we were" Comfort said "The fire place made it good deal warmer than it was out doors" Economy said ''It was waste of money to go and buy stoves that would last but a few years anyway" So we protest.

Re.Opening of the Congregational
 Church at Salisbury.

Church at Salisbury.
 The re-dedication on Friday, March 18th, of the Cong1 church in Salisbury, after extensive repairs and improve ments, was most interesting occasion. The church proper, passed its Centen- nial many years ago, and while the venerable appearance of the exterior of this building. erected Tn 1900, remains unchanged, the interior is essentially altered and beautifed. The organ has been moved to . moro advantageous position beside the pulpit, and the choir, accustomed to dispense sweet sounds since the days of the old bass viol and sounding board, will now be merged in the congregation. The arched panels behind tha pulpit, the wood work around the organ and that en- closing space, opposite, to be devoted to the use of large Bible class, are all of polished ash, the deep coloring of the cherry furniture making an effec- tive contrast with this light tint.
 The morning services were of dedi- catory character, and were conducted by Rev J. 0. Goddard, assisted and supported by clergymen from adjoining towns. MT Goddard spoke in pleasing manner of the growing thought of re- modelling the church, from the moment of its birth, on through three years of development. and he noted in detail the financial eras in the progress of this purpose. To the successful results of this continued, earnest and harmonious effort have been added valuable indivi- dual gifts The handsome brass tablets, set in scrolls of oak and of ivy, one in memory of Rev Jonathan Lee, the founder of this church, dead century, the other an enduring monument to the Rev Adam Reid, whose pastorate of forty years closed hardly more than a year ago, were presented by Messrs Jonathan and Nathaniel O. Scoville. The pulpit is the gift of Mrs Samuel S. Robbins. The cushions were all donated hy Mrs Geo C. Coffing The commun- i6n isble is on offering from Mrs H. P. Hasris. One large chair WAS given by s11ko builder, Mir Daniels. The smaller SAofrs, platform table and base for 1evers gre also personal gifts. In the nonious tinte, the renovated furnish
