A Successful Opening.

The Lake House at Lowell Lake
was formally opened last Friday and
a dance had in the evening, 43 couples
participating. This was an orderly
and as pleasant an assemblage as one
could wish to see. On the next day
about 200 persons visited the lake.
This included two picnic parties, one
from I.andgrove, the other from Lon
donderry. 1t is needless to say that
the "Kommodore" wore his happiest
smile and everything in and around
this popular resort bespoke a merry
welcome to all corners and goers.
Charlie Lester presides at the boat
house, and other old time faces are
to be seen about the place.

AT THE CHURCHES.
YOU.

Notwithstanding the severe heat of
last Sabbath fair congregations were
in attendance at both churches. At
the Methodist church the pastor spoke
from the first verse of the 10th chap
ter Of Romans:
Brethren my hearts desire and prayer
to God for Israel is that they might be
saved"
The preacher referred to the large
number of Christian workers through
out the world, the many churches
where the story of the cross was told
and said:
While some,we are sorry TO say, enter
the work of the Christian ministry for
personal gain and for the purpose of
building themselves up in the opinions of
men, the large majority take up the
work having the same desire and prayer
had by Paul in our text viz: the salvation
of others and they preach not themselves
but Christ. They seek not to exalt
themselves but seek to exalt the Lord
Jesus and desire and pray that their words
may influence and lead some one into the
| fold over which the Great Shepherd ex-
ercises watchful care.
The first desire of the newly con-
verted was here mentioned and refer
ence made to the great change seen
in individuals after Christ has become
real. The preacher then showed how
Paul went to work in order that his
prayer for the salvation of his people
might be answered, and told the story
of the Apostles labors quoting his
own words. The Importance of work
in connection with prayer WAS care
! fully noted and how God is willing
and ready to help us if we but help
ourselves. The need uf pcgsonal ef-
fort being the central thought, The
preacher enlarged upon it calling at
tention to the fact that we often sup
plicate the throne of grace for that
which with the help God promises
and gives we could do ourselves and
said:
The petition "Lord help me to do" is
heard. Help is given and the desired re-
suit is obtained in due course of time.
/ The prayer Lord do this or that" re-
mains unanswered for the reason that the
/ prayer is not complete. 1t lacks little
work on our part which God is waiting
/ for Us to perform.

desired and prayed that men might

Before my unknown friend makes any
more statements in regard TO fishing eX'
cursinnS 10 Jamaica Pond, advise hin
to call aroundt to my office, No. los Windy
ST. Windham, VT, and get the straight
fac Of the ease in regard to the most
thrilling and blood-curdling experience
with which Elias Stowell of Wndham
VT, and his friend, Edward Thomas OF
Claremont, n, H., met with whileu there
last week. 70 be sure they thought they
heard calf bleat but judged from the
sound of his voice that he was as far OF
as Derry village. And as bleating calves
of the two legged nature are plenty up
that way, why my unknown friend need
not for moment be alarmed as to the
sad fate of the two lone fisherman being
unknown.
Moral; Yes, you can take along your

your shot on bleatng calves for their

GOLD PRODUCTION STIMULATED.
Report of Bullion Handled Mt the
Denver Mint.


Assayer Pickett, in charge of the
Denver branch mint, yesterday COM
pletd his report of operations for the
twelve months ending June 80, 1894,
which constitute the fiscal year, says
the Rocky Mountain News of Friday.
The report will be forwarded to Wash
ington today for the information of
the director of the minis, who will use
it in his annual report to the secretary
of the treasury and to Congress.
The fiscal year ending June 30, so far
as it relates to the branch mint in this
city, covers the rise and progress of the
gold mining movement in the Rocky
mountain states and territories, made
necessary by The rapid fall of silver one
year ago when the British minis in In
dia were closed to that metal, and
Congress was called in special session
( to repeal the purchasing clause of the
deceptive Sherman law How well Colo
RADIO and the other states and terrific
ries which deposit at the Denver branch
mint responded to the call for gold, is
shown by the following:
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
! 1898, the value of deposits at the Den
yer branch mint-gold, with little sill
ver-reached a. total of 81, 400, 83S.S7. For
the year ending June 30, 1894, the total
reads So, 240, 626.45, of which S19, 520.S9 is
SILVER IHlS SHOWS gain IN LdNOr OI
the fiscal year just closed equal to
81, $50, ISL, So or 1895 per cent.
The result is largely to be credited
to the more steady and successful
working of the low grade gold ores, as
the number of melts-small bars and
mill retorts-increased from 2,079 in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, to 1874
in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894,
1t is thus seen that the gain in the
number of melts-separate deposits
was 1885, or 1871 per cent.
Beginning in 1893 and taking periods
of six months, the growth of the gold
producing industry is shown as fol-
lows: In the six months beginning
Jan. 4, and ending June 80, 1898, the
total deposits at the local branch mint
reached value of $685., 1857 The six
months following, which closed with
1893, show a total of S12064 1888, and a
gain over the first half of the year,
equal to $611, 347.23, or 1925 per cent.
From Jan. 1 to June 80, 1894, the total
Of deposits is figured at $2,034149.45, a
gain of 1921, 66O.45 over the preceding
six months
Taken in detail the past six months
show the following gains over the cor
responding six months of 1893:
