ter reaching the place was badly beat
en- and drugged, being left for dead,
no doubt. The culprits afterwards
returned to the home of the agent, IL
fled the place, and at the point of a
pistol his wife was ordered to follow
the trio. AS the men passed through
the door out of the house. expecting

closed the door on them and began
screaming loudly, which had the effect

believe that these three gentlemen
supported the Weaver ticket last No
yember, although in the last StaUe e.
lection Capt. Pickett went before the
Democratic primaries in the State elec-
ton. ana was declared the nominee of
that party for State Treasurer. Mr..
MontOn, the vice President eject, was
elected in 1885 on the Democratic tick
ct to represent Vermillion parish in
the lower house, and we understand,
was one of the Weaver electors in the
Presidential contest.
NJ. c. FontenOt, of ST. Landry, the
new State lecturer, is, far as our infOr-
nation goes. the only Democrat among
the newly elected set of officials.
1t is stated that there was a dispo-
sition on the part of many members
of the order, to bring the organization
back to the Democratic fold by the
election of Capt. Adams as President.

or the recent burning Of the High
School, the Island Pond correspondent Of
the Gorham Mountaineer writes as fol-
lows:
The social given by the pupils of the
High School last Saturday evening was
suddenly broken up by the discovery of
fire in the basement OF the building at
about $50 O'Clock. The alarm was
quickly given and n large crowd was
promptly at work. but could do nothing
beyond saving the organ. library, school
books, etc, owing to the lack of water,
and in about three hours the building
was burned to the ground. The High
School flag and the flag belonging to
the Primary School, which were used in
decorating the rooms. were also burned.
1t was a dismal sound to the pupils
when the bell which had called them to
their studies so many times dropped
from the burning belfry with its last
mournful toll. The village of Island
Pond is not in condition to battle sue
cessfullv with fires. After we have had
few more fires our people will wake up
to this fact.
1t will be seen from the above that the
HERALD is not alone in asserting that
Island Pond is not properly equipped
to cope with fires. Once again we ask
"Will the warning be needed ?"

The Thanksgiving service at the NJ. Z.
Church deserves mention. 1t was a union
service participated in by the Congrega-
tional, Episcopal and Methodist societies
and their pastors. Not to the credit of
any of these societies, however, the audi
forum was barely half hiled. But those
who were present had no regrets to offer
for being there. The music was simple
and effectively rendered. The prayer by
the pastor was iervent and IN keeping
with the occasion, while the sermon by
Prof. P. II. Dale was richly deserving OF
the praise which, it received. The thoughts
were grouped about the text, Isaiah 5l:3,
-" For the Lord shall comfort Zion He
will comfort all her waste places and
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
and her desert like the Garden of the
Lord; JOY and gladuess shall be found
therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of
melody" All present were led to feel in
tensely the power and willingness of the
Lord to comfort and bless His people.
Through trials, through gloomy sur
roundings, through deep depression OF
spirit the discipline Of life might come.
But there stood the Heavenly Father
ready to impart to the disciplined but
submissive soul all the renewing, pro-
ductive and spiritual fruit. bearing power
suggested by the fulness of Eden and the
privileges Of the Garden of the Lord
Paradise Regained. Such souls do not
wait for death to bring them the joys of
:he redeemed. The hfe is no longer shad-
owed or gloomy. In it and through it
Joy and gladness find expression
thanksgiving also and the voice Of mel
ody."
Children of grace have found,
Glory begun below,
Celestial fruits on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow"
