RECENT DEATHS.

Mrs. Clara J. Fesler of this town died
June after a brief illness in New
Haven, Conn, at the home of Mrs. Hell
Ell E. Alden. She was gentlewoman
OF rare and winsome character. Though
living but a few years in this village, she
made such friendships as usually come
from long acquaintance. She found
good qualities in all and all felt the
goodness OF her thought and life She
was uniformly cheerful, whatever her
troubles or individual sorrow. She had
refined and delicate face that seemed
to carry gospel of sincerity and charity.
Those who knew her always welcomed
her to their homes because they wished
to know more of her. She knew sor-
row, but with her sorrow had an up
ward look. Her friends here feel panied
at her death, as they were hoping to see
her in the summer in this place where
she was so much at home, but in their
grief they feel that they have many
blessed things to remember.

things. The children entertained the
company with several recitations; Miss
Batchelder and Miss Brook sang solos,

cornet solos. Altogether, it was a red
letter day in the social career of the

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

During the heavy shower of Sunday
afternoon Clinton Aldrich his wife and
three children were on their way home
in a carriage, and drove into Judge E. A.
Parks barn, just south of the village, to
wait till the tempest had subsidized. The
team was left in the barn, and little
later when he went out to get it he
found the horse dead. The lightning
had struck the cupola and passed down
along an iron rod Just over where the
horse stood, and had struck the animal,
killing it instantly. Tie only mark to
be found on the horse was slight
scorching OF the hair on one of its ears.
The damage to the barn will not exceed
ten or twelve dollars. Ii the occupants
of the carriage had done as they first
planned and sat in the carriage instead
OF going into the house, res4sltts- might
have been more serious, Fortunately
they had yielded to an invitation to adj
journ to the house.
The blaze, which was noted far to the
north by7St. Johnsbury parties on Sum
day afternoon last, Immediately after
the severe storm, proves to have been
the result of lightning stroke in
Newark. The buildings burned were
owned by Marvin Ball and were situ-
ated on what is known as Newark
street. They were new structures, and
the finest set of farm buildings in that
town. House, barns and sheds were de-
stroyed, and there was no Insurance on
the property.
Other things done by the storm, are
noted by our correspondents elsewhere.

At Grace Methodist church Rev Mr..
Smithers talked to the children in the
morning about a certain little maiden in
the household of Naaman the leper, and
brought out, in such a manner that the
young people could fully understand, the
qualifications of character that are
necessary to make the boy and the girl
what they ought to be- There were hand
some decorations about the platform
and the service was made as bright and
entertaining as possible. In the evening
the children gave a concert which was
very pleasing, although a part of the
arrangements were interiered with by
the storm. The choir sang special music
at both morning and evening services
At the South church there was fine
display of flowers, some appropriate
music by the choir and in the morning

CHILDREN,S S DAY.
1t was Observed at Some of the Local
Churches.

The recurrence of the second Sunday
in June, with its happy and helpful sug
gestions as "Children's day." was fully
taken advantage of at the North church,
where specially interesting exercises
were held. Rev. Mr.. Lamson preached
a sermon to the children in the morning,
from John viii 29-"For | do always
those things that please him." In a
very instructive and apt manner the
speaker set before the children the
beauty and significance of the word
Please and the beneficial results
which follow from doing what God and
Others would have them do, instead of
obsrinately choosing their own way.
In the evening an attractive pro-
gramme was presented by the children,
the exercises being based on the theme,
my Country" It was an occasion for
the development of the patriotic and
missionary spirit. Two large and hand
some flags were draped directly in front
of the organ, while the entire platform
was prettiy covered with the stars and
stripes-the whole making an inspiring
picture.
The heavy thunder storm which oc-
cnrred late in the afternoon interfered
somewhat with the attendance OH the
part of the younger children, but a
good-sized audience participated. Rob't
Mackinnon, the assistant superinren.
dent, conducted the exercises, which
passed off most interestingly Choir
school and congregation united in the
singing Of patriotic hymns, there were
responsive readings, recitations, con
certed exercises and other features, al
bringing out the idea of loyalty to coun

ual welfare of the land. The pastoI
made brief address, laying stress OF
the bigness and richness of the country
and urging the need OF united effort tt
