The tax was revived again and, on mo-
ton of J. ID. Toomey, ID mills was final
| ly decided upon, though ii. N. Wakeman
wanted it Is mills and DR. Donaldson
wished 3 mills to be used for the funded
debt, in case it was to be 15-mill tax.
1t was voted to have 40 weeks of
school; $4,000 was appropriated for roads,
left to the discretion of the selectmen !;
| $4,000 was appropriated for schools
and, upon motion of Judge Glover, the
selectmen, as usual, were instructed to
keep within their appropriation, except
as ordered by this meeting. 1t was now
nearly o'clock and motion to adjourn
was only too gladly accepted.
Down in the lower rooms of the Town
hall the voting was carried quietly on all
day. A very light vote was polled, as is
shown by the returns:
Samuel Jessup is still quite i'll has not
been out of his house for four weeks. He
has heart trouble.
j. ID. Toomey has bought IA house in
Bridgeport and is furnishing it. He ex-
poets to move his family there in about
a month. They will all be missed in
town and especially at st. Thomas, of
which he was a liberal supporter.
The whitewasher and insect extermi-
nator manufactured only by Frederick
| Schwarz is gaining in favor and popu
| larity. He has new circulars printed and
expects to advertise in all countries, he
says even in South Africa. His sales in
the State of California have been very
large. The owners of ranches find them
indispensable. AS different nozzles or
tubes can be fixed to them, they are used
in curing meats. He has Autographs and
woodcuts, showing the different uses
they can be applied to. He has reliable
receipts for killing and discriminating in
sects; also reliable receipts for curing
diseases in chickens.

pastor, the pulpit was supplied by Rev
Mr. Prentiss. Rev Mr. Bushnell was at
the evening prayer meeting.

sermon, he spoke of changes that had
taken place; the removal by death of the
two wardens; the financial condition of
the church, having raised over $l7 900;
the church has gained in membership. 1t
ranks high among churches of the Epis-
copal faith. Mr. Jones is beloved by his
people and is faithful rector, both in
and out of the pulpit.
