house, and for three months past
paralyzed from his hips down. The

The spelling school al the Institute
last Wednesday evening afforded bar
rels of fun "to him who had no friend
or brother there" Twas laughable to
see old scholars and teachers go down
like a row of bricks on such words as
"varioloid" and "sirloin," and stagger
and tug at "opossum," and fall fiat at
"turquois." Mrs. w. V. Sage, however,
proved a veritable Gibralter, and the
proiectiles from the big Websterian
guns fell harmless at her feet.
Our correspondence from Hartford
and Toquin, last week, reached us
after the paper was printed and mailed.
If our correspondents can possibly do
so, it will oblige us if they will mail
their letters by the first mail Monday.
This will insure favors from any part
of the county reaching us as early as
Tuesday morning. Letters received by
the later mails of Tuesday have to take
their chances on being cut and abbre-
waited or crowded out altogether. Our
forms are closed Tuesday at p. m.
Last spring Carrie Hammond bean
tiful and accomplished girl, at Bangor,
met and loved Ulysses Page, of Ham
mond, Ind. They were married and
went to Hammond to live. The con-
fiding young bride found another wife
to share her husbands love, and she re-
turned home heartbroken. She loved
Page passionately, and short time ago
returned to him. Two weeks ago she
returned to Bangor suffering from a
drug alleged to have been forcibly adj
minstered to her All efforts to save
her proved futile, and she died Tues
day night in great agony. Indignation
over the affair is intense, and several
arrests may follow.
