 Tell a Yankee woman some thing surprising and she'll probably say, M want to know!"- she isn't up in Bos- tonese. If"you want to know" what is going on here, we'll tell you this much.
 There are people, even in our own city, to whom our doings are mysterious, maybe incredible. But the great pulp lie knows very we'll what is going on here.
 Let us say 1.-the exact fact. Our store is the resort of more people than any other anywhere in Massachusetts outside of Boston, of serious people, of buying people. It IS the greatest outlet anywhere in this region for large quan- titles of useful goods.
 In other words, manufac- turesr, merchants and people are finding out what this ca pacious building is for.
 We have put too little em- phasis on the cheapness ofwash dress fabrics now. If ever there was a time to say cheap now is the time. India organ dies worth 12 k cents for 6 4 : sea foam suitings worth IF k for 6 A; Gautama cloths (Gau- tama was a prince of India and the founder of Budhism) worth 12 & for 8; white leno stripes worth I2k for 8: white nainsook checks worth 10 for 6A.

 -Beneficient showers have averted i'm pending droughts this season. To get your back up and keep it up assiduously over real wrong done you is burdensome enough, but to twist and bend it backwards so as to almost drag and bump your head along the ground over some fancied injury must be supreme ly painful.
 Representative from the Wilmington and Westford Congregational churches gave a birthday surprise party to their present supply, F. Weed, on Monday. A
 pleasant social time was had. Misses Julia and Mary Weston, ,daugh. ters of the late Jonathan Weston, post. master of this town for over forty years continuously, were guests at s. Taylor's
 over Sunday, and were gladly greeted by their old friends here. Mrs. Blakely, housekeeper for J. H.
 Holmes, is in receipt of widows pen sion. She received nearly $6OO back pay. The Silveys, who have been working for A. Sharp of late, are to remove to L. G. Ide's, MT. s. to work in the Daleville , mill
 Some women are not neat enough, we presume, and others are too awfully neat for anything. We recently heard a rem iniscence of one of the latter class, a late most worthy townswoman. In her day the old fashioned "sweep," with its long, smooth pole and bucket attached, was the almost universal device in our coun- try hamlets for drawing water from the well near the house. This good woman in her weekly housekeeping would scrupu- lously wash and wipe that pole, and woe be to the men folks who dared to touch it with soiled hands!
 Miss Hattie Slingsby has been en- gagged to teach the centre school next term. Miss Corbin comes from Holland side to teach the Glassfactory school. Ed Pearl is seeking admission to the society of the Sons of Revolution on ac- count of the services of his grandfather in that war. Quite number of persons in town have the same honored ancestry, but the expense and trouble attending the matter doubtless deters many from joining the society. There are at least two real "sons" of the Revolution in town, Lucien Holt aud Rufus Robbins. Miss Grace Van Zandt has been spend ing week in Willimantic. Taking this vicinity as criterion, the attendance on the Wiflimantic camp meeting is declining year by year. And now another high stopper in this vicinity from Needham's stable. Samuel

Decrease i'm the Marriage Rate
New Orleans, In.


From the Chicago Blade.
The decrease in the marriage rate,
while il is not alarming, is exciting
the interest of social philosophers and
suggesting to the thoughtful q new
fed of inquiry.
Mr.. Carroll d. Wright, the able
chief of the bureau of labor at Wash
ington, who has given special atten-
ton to this phase of the social prob
lem, advances the theory that wo.
mans admission to industrial freedom
is largely responsible for the falling
off III the number of marriages as
we'll as the increase of the divorce
rate.
Mr.. Wright is not frightened by
the tendency, but on the contrary
guards il with entire cheerfulness. He
declared in recent lecture that any
thing "that tended to prevent mar
rlages of onvenience-those unnal-
lowed unions sought by women sim
ply because they feel that they must
secure q home and support-could
not help being of benefit 10 the female
sex and the community at large"
The prevention of such marriages
is certainly something to be desired,
but it would seem that the conditions
that are operating to relieve women
from marriages of convenience are
operating also to prevent them from
being married at all. Bread-winning
is becomming to thousands of young
mena very serious business, and. no
matter what the promptipgs of
le. may be, the checks of pru-
denc hold them back from the altar
and from the responsibilities of do
mestic life.
The question is one of serious i'm
portance; tor home life, the basis of
our social fabric is involved in it's
solution. That women have achieved,
or are achieving, their industrial free.
dom is assuredly gratifying in itself;
but if this achievement has involved
the sacrifice of home and family the
fact may well give pause to the social
philosopher.
