He has been unconscious ever since,
and will not recover unless he gets
help very soon. He is very bright
and capable boy and his loss Will be
great sorrow to his parents.
Rev. G. B. Moody, who is East on
his summer vacation, was called from
Waterbury, his old Vermont home,
and his discourse was most appropri-
ate for the occasion. Mr.. Moody
preached at the Cong. church last ev-
ening to a very large audience. His
many friends will accord him most
hearty welcome.
Rev. DR.. Knox and wife are in town
for two or three days, bidding adieu to
friends before their departure to Da-
kota, where Mr.. Knox will enter upon
his duties as president Of a new col
lege just being established. He preach
ed a most excellent discourse at the
NJ. E. church yesterday morning. The
best wishes of many friends will fol-
low Mr.. and Mrs. Knox to their new
and responsible field Of labor.
Moses Hubbard, an old and esteem
ed citizen, who for several years has
been in feeble health, died on Satur-
day morning last, unexpectedly, tho
his end had seemed to be near for
some months. He leaves a son, l.. M.
Hubbard, and daughter, Mrs. Chas.
Graves, both of this village, and other
friends to mourn his loss. His funeral
was attended yesterday, Rev. @. B.

A very pleasant thing was done at
the American House yesterday by the
popular cook, Mr.. Collins, in honor of
DIR. and Mrs. Knox, who are at the
hotel visiting mine hostess, Mrs. Rand,
and family, preparatory to their de-
parture West. The dinner table was
beautifully spread, and on one of the
dishes were the words, "When shall
we meet again?" There were present
at the sitting A. D. Mathews and wife
of Barton Landing. Mrs. Knox and
Mrs Mathews are sisters of Mrs.
Rand.
Somebody encouraged Willie Gra0-
es to circulate a petition for obtaining
signers, to have town meeting call
ed for the election of town treasur-
er and town clerk, to fill the vacan-
cy occasioned by the death of James
Boswell The selectmen had appoint
ed F. w. Baldwin to fill the places
and the appointment is a good one.
To get the voters out at this time
in the year is both inconvenient
and expensive. The meeting will be
held next Monday at 10 o'clock q. m.
The voters should turn out.
1t is probably well understood
that in making arrangements for the
Summer School now in session here,
the managers planned the whole mat
ter with an idea to get the greatest
possible good and pleasure from the
smallest expenditure Of money. AS
an inducement to bring the school
here, j. F. Batchelder, and @. FL. VIII
ley, principal of the Academy, assum-
ed the risk of furnishing Opera Hall
! for the use of the school, gratis. In
order to get their money back they
! held band concert and promenade
on Wednesday night last, which was
we'll attended,; and for their next en-
tertainment have engaged the Bos-
| ton Ideal Mandolin and Guitar Club.
This is one of the best musical clubs
in New England, which receives 800 a
night during the concert season.
Their services could not have been OBJ
tanned, except by taking quite a risk
in the mere matter of paying expens-
es. The public ought to appreci-
ate the effort made to furnish first
class entertainment and give it a good
patronage 1t will pay. Concert,
to morrow Tuesday, evening.

F. G.. Wheeler, Urbie Benoit and
Lula Willard are attending the teach
ers' school at the village.
1t is with pain that we chronicle the
death of another child of Melvin
Drown Of Boston, late of this place.
Having lost two children with diph-
liberia in Boston, he went with his
wife to E. Orange VT, where Mrs
browns parents reside, on account o.
the illness of the baby child of the
family A few days since the eldest
boy was attacked with the terrible
disease and only lived forty hours
The three children have been burieo
within five weeks. The blow to Mr.
and Mrs. Drown is terrible. We ex
tend them the deepest sympathy.
