Death has again visited this COM
munity and claimed Eva K, only
child of Rev. and Mrs. ]. H. Wins
low, aged - years, one month and
21 days. She passed away at five
O'Clock July %. She was a girl OF
pure character and a kind and noble
heart None knew her but to love
her, none named her but in praise. "
A leading member in the society of
Christian Endeavor, she in many
ways had given expression to her
Christian character and superior
merit While the future lay bright
before her and invited her to live,
her Christian fortitude robbed death
of half its terror. Her intellect was
unclouded until within a few
moments of her death. She expressed
her wishes in relation to her funeral,
her pastor, etc, and asked to see two
or three of her friends, whom she
bade an affectionate farewell. She
asked her mother not to leave, SO
that she might see her face last of all.
Another soul, too bright for earth
has gone to Him who-"dOeth all
things WE'LL and the afflicted
parents and deeply sympathetic
friends must wait little longer ere
they pass the river to the shining
hosts beyond.

LETTER FROM FAIRLEE POND.

One of the exquisite bits of love
illness in our state, which abOunds in
beautiful and romantic scenery, is
Fairlee pond, now known as Lake
Morey 1t is situated in the town
of Fairlee, 10 miles below Wells
River, on the Passumpsic railroad
The lake is q beautiful sheet of
water, 3 miles in length with an
average breadth of three-quarters of
mile. 1t is shut in on two sides by
high hills, towering many hundred
feet in a nearly perpendicular ascent.
In the distance many of the New
Hampshire hills can be seen. This is
becoming a popular summer resort
for those who desire to enjoy the
quiet and seclusion of an inland
town, and vet be able to find con-
genial company. Samuel Houghton,
of the well known firm of Hougton
& DuttOn, Boston, is doing much to
increase the prosperity of this place.
He has been getting several cottages
in readiness for summer visitors, and
is to erect new ones this season. He
has constructed seven miles of high
way, making a road around the
lake, which facilitates communica-
ton with the outside world. He
now owns about 500 acres of land
in the vicinity of the lake. In Or
ford, n H., just across the Connect
cut river is Mr. Houghton's summer
residence. The buildings and
grounds display an evidence of
wealth, used unsparingly. The barn
has the appearance of having been
modelled after some palace and is
said to have cost 100000. He has
in his stables more than 100 horses
1t IS rumOred that Mr. Houghton
will erect large hotel on the shore
of Morey Lake in the near future
AT present there are two summer
hotels, well kept, and well patroniz-
ed. One by Mr.. Rogers, and the
Glen Falls House by Messrs. Haley
A personal acquaintance with the
latter house enables your correspon-
dent to speak with knowledge of its
we'll furnished table, its comfortable
beds, its gentlemanlv and obliging
hosts, and last but not least its
faithful dog, Ted. The lake is seen in
all its loneliness from the windows
of this hotel, and one who has had the
pleasure OF watching the reflection OF
the moonlight upon its waters as it
comes up from behind the opposite
cliff, will remember it as a scene of
rare delight
An added pleasure to a lover of
nature is the song of the whippoor-
will which comes near the house at
early twilight, and gives its plaintive
call, which is taken up by others
more distant until the forest Is re-
sonant with its melody. About
seventy rods back from Glen Falls
House are the Glen falls, where a
brook falls down a sheer precipice of
40 feet and forms a clear pool below.
Rustic bridges near the falls tempt
one to climb to yet higher heights.
Several beautiful cottages are
owned by private individuals, one

LETTER FROM MINNEA POLLS.

Editor of the CaledOnlan:
have Just read the epistle of Dr.
Blanchard in your paper of the 9th
instant. 1t is a rollicking, racy pro-
ductiOn, but is open to the criticism
that it contains some slight historical
inaccuracies. The Doctors observa-
ton of the electric storms, which he
terms cyclones, were not entirely in
accord with those of the rest of man
kind, who had an equal opportunity
He SAYS They seemed to me at a
distance of few miles to be just or
binary thunder showers, but the first
killed nearly 900 and the second de
mOliShed large brick chair factory"
1t is undoubtedly true that they
seemed to the Doctor to be precisely
what they were This presumption
is strengthened by the historical fact
that no cyclone that has ever Oc-
Cured in this country has killed 900
people or one-half that number 1t
is also further strengthened by the
fact that only one cyclone has visited
the state of Minnesota since the
spring of 1886, and that killed and
fatally injured 192 less people than
the first one the Doctor saw n few
miles from st. Paul From the
graphic description of our western
country and the twin cities appear
ing in the Doctors letter, it may be
inferred that he was so enthused by
the ozone of the Northwest that cold
facts were of no account when de-
scribing the destructive effects of
Western electric storms. Eliminat-
ing the cyclonic portion, | perceive
no farther fault with the Doctors
letter, except that his estimate of the
population of Minneapolis is %, 900
or 10000 less than the recount
will show. Very truly,

VICTORY IN TIKI: FIRST ROUND.

A victory has been won i'll the first
round over the Massachusetts assess
ment insurance men who are trying
to introduce their wildcat methods
into this town. Justice Nichols, :"
says the Rutland Herald, has rem
dered an important decision" The
Burlington Free Press says:
The St. .Johnsbury justice merits
the thanks of an Or2anIzatIo n-rIdden
public, and we trust that his action
will bear fruit in stopping the further
increase of clubs and lodges which
promise, upon the contribution Of a
comparatively insignificant amount
in assessments, the payment at the
end of q term varying from one to
ten years, of a large endowment"
Let the good work go on until
either by the supreme court or the
Legislature every chance is removed
for these societies to get a foothold
