He leaves widow, one of the school since 1884. MT. Miner was mem- Der of the Golden Cross order, from which his widow will receive the death benefit of $1,O00. He was also very active TT a representative of which, c. P. Hodgson, visited him few days before his death with view to arranging for the more than probable result of his illness.

It is seldom that a more interesting and intelligent looking little company are seen together than were

 Rev. Geo. R. Dickinson closed his labors with the Stafford Springs Congre- gational church last Sunday. There was no formality or farewell tone in either of the two excellent sermons preached, tho the evening discourse, and to some extent that of the morning, bore largely upon the duty of good citizens to act consci- entiously in the matter of voting upon the license question.
