AN ANEoDoTE OF GREELEy.-In Mr. and friendly meetings with President Lin- coin and Horace Greeley, he has stock of stories on which he draws occasionally. This story about Mir. Greeley has been often told, MT. Depew was the first to tell it, and he was witness of the scene.
 To interrupt Horace Greeley when he was in the throes of bringing forth an editorial was danger which no friend, no enemy, none but a fool dared to en- counter. I was once in his editorial sanc- tum when the fool was there. He was one of those itinerant and persistent gen. tlemen with a subscription book. He kept presenting it, while old Horace was writing away with his pen up to his chin. Horace had a habit when any one would interfere of kicking, and so he kicked at the subscription fiend. Finally, when he saw that he couldn't get rid of the intruder by this means, he stopped in the middle of sentence, turned around and said raspingly, in that shrill voice of his:
 "What do you want? State it quick, and state it in the fewest possible words"
 "Well," said the subscription fiend, "I want subscription, MT. Greeley, to pre- vent thousands of my fellow human be- ings from going to he'll" II won't give you damned cent" said Greeley. "There don't half enough go there now"

MONSON,


 The cold weather is retarding work upon the Electric Light Co.'s dam at Blanchardville. Meanwhile the Palmer and Monson light systems are being run as before by steam power, which is taxed heavily to do the double amount of work.
 A wedding was celebrated in St. Pat rick's church, Monson, with nuptial high mass Tuesday morning, when William E. Mcdonald, book-keeper for the Flynt building and construction company of Palmer, and Miss Mary E. Cantwell, or ganist of St. Patrick's church, were mar ried. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John F. Lee, assisted by Rev. Will liam Foley. Mrs. Hollihan, of St. Steph- ems church of Worcester, was organist, and the vocal music was by a mixed chorus. The musical part of the service was rendered in an artistic manner, ad- ding grace and beauty to solemn VOWS and responses that make up the Catholic marriage service. Miss Joanna Cantwell, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Daniel Gallehar, of Springfield, was best man. The bride was dressed in travel Ing suit Of brown, with hat and gloves to match.

ROCKVILLE.

A man who called at the Adams ex- press office in Rockville with package to send away, the Iext day after the com pany stopped receiving business, was in- formed by Agent Robinson that the con- pany had given up business. He said he was not surprised, and that he had thought for some time that the company would have to, give up business, as he knew they could not afford to pay the high rent for their large office in Exchange block. Agent Robinson was unable to convince the man that this was not the real reason.
 An attempt was made to burn the American House, on Market street, late Saturday night. About 10 o'clock one of the young ladies employed in Strausser's bakery, adjoining the hotel, saw a blaze in the cellar of the hotel. She called Mr. Strausser and he rushed out to investi- gate. He went down between the two buildings and found the cellar window sash was out. Crowding through and in- to the corner he found lively blaze By quick work he soon had the fire under control. It had evidently been started only few minutes and was in a pile of old lumber, rubbish, etc., which had &C., cumulated during the recent rebuilding of the hotel. The incendiary placed two barrels up at the window so that he could get into the cellar, and then started the fire. If it had had five minutes start it would have been very difficult to have saved aea building As the hotel ad5oins several wooden buildings, the fire would have endangered the entire street. This building was partially destroyed by fire some months ago, and it is reported that there have been other attempts to burn it since that time. It has recently been re- gently been repaired and remodeled, and was opened January under the manage ment of MT. Winette. B. O'Neil, now of the Franklin House, Ellington, formerly conducted the hotel.

HEBRON.

This is one of the staid, quiet parishes in which there is not much occurring of a startling character. For the most part the people pursue the even tenor of their way and move in peace and harmony. Three miles from the station on the Air Line railroad, yet we are in close eonnec- tlon with the rest of the world, having 3 daily mails. The new telegraph lin, be- tween Boston and Hartford is to pass through here. Work in setting the poles is suspended for the winter, after reaching point half way between this village and Gi1ead. Several frozen fingers and one dangerous fall from 8 high pole were enough to call for halt in the work, which will not be resumed, probably, un- til March or April. There are two churches in this vil- lage, small Episcopal church, and Con- gregational, which has received new im- pulse under the leadership of their new young minister, who is also pastor of the sister church in Gilead, the two churches being three miles apart Rev. MT. Mason took his vacation the last two weeks of the old year, and returned with his bride at the beginning of the new year. A re- ception was given them by the Giiead church a week or two since, and one is in contemplation by the Hebron church on Wednesday of the present week, His pnlpits were supplied in his absence by Rev. D. Breed. There are goodly com pany of young people in the two parishes, who maintain two Y. P. s. c. E. societies with good degree of vigor.
 The holidays were observed bv the usual gatherings, and gifts distributed among the younger portion of the rising generation.

A rest followed, and after few minutes the warriors faced each other again. This time it was fiercer strug- gle. First, the referee, W. l..
