The large chandelier in the Presby-
terrain church, fell last Monday night,
during the services, and was totally
destroyed. Happily rhe church was
not crowded and the chandelier hang

one was injured. although it fell close
to Rev. Taylor.
One by one the old soldiers are an
sweriDg to the last roll call. Last
| week one replied from here and was
known to many, yet it seemed, from
the number present, that the touch
! ing of elbows on such and kindred
! occasions, was forgotten by some, who
should have been present. The dead
have no pocket-books or votes, is
| the only reason we can see for their
absence.
A telegram from st. Helens says the

them an easy prey Of the wolves and

with diphtheria and scarlet fever cpl

prospect of cholera paying us visit,

The complete success of the Gray.
ling Cornet Band, their musical en-
tertainment and Paddy Miles Boy,
is matter of history. Resplendent
in their new uniforms, their music was
unusually excellent, and the vocal
numbers by Messrs. Bell and Parsons,
and solos by Mesdaines Woodwork
end Jerome each received a well de-
served encore. Miss Haley presided
at the piano. The farce drought
down the house. and the dance fol-
lowing was well patronized and fully
enjoyed. The Band is ''all right.
DIED. AT the residence of her sister,
Mrs. w. s. Chalker, Sunday. February
10Th. Miss Sarah Murphy, aged 16 yrs.
Our community was shocked on
Monday morning to learn of the death
of Miss Murphy. She had appeared
in usual health during the day, was
taken sick in the evening and in three
hours had passed away. A general
favorite with her associates, bright
and vivacious, picture of health, so
suddenly stricken down gives unusual
sorrow to her family and friends who
have the sympathy of all. The flu
neral services at the M. E. church,
Tuesday evening. were largely attend
ed, and tho body was taken to her
former home, at Fife Lake, by the
night train.
