ASH LEY ALIs,

Again the call of death has come sud- denly and without warning among our old residents. On Monday evening MT George Blodgett Sr came in from doing days work complaining of dis tress through his chest and stomach. His daughter assisted him to his bed, administering such remedies as usually relieve in like attacks but he grew rap idly worse and before assistance could be summoned he died. Mrs Blodgett was at her daughters in Sandisfeld. ] Mir Blodgett has lived on the farm a lit- tie north of this village for many years, moving this spring to the house known as the John Ashley place, remodeling. painting and decorating the house and in many ways improving the place. do- ing the last hs had planned to do on Monday. Surely his work was accom- plished when he was so suddenly called away. He will be greatly missed by his neighbors and fellow townsmen, hay ing often acceptably served in town offices and was highly respected. The sorrow stricken family, consisting oi widow, two daughters and one son, have the sympathy of all who knew and es. | teemed the departed husband and fath. CT. Truly these sudden deaths of which | this is the third that has come to us re. gently ought to make us thoughtful over the Biblical teaching "Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not the | Son of Man cometh.
 Mir George Benedict, aged about 6 i years, is in a critical condition with ( complication of diseases, such as asthma, heart trouble and Bright's dis cease. He has to sit up in chair al the time as he cannot breathe when he | lies down.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

For several years the NEWS has pub- lished Rev Dr Talmage's sermons. You have had ample opportunity to form an opinion of them. Now we want to know whether you prefer the sermons to serial stories. We propose to let you choose between them. Some of our subscribers have told us they do not care whether we publish Talmage's SCI mons or not, because they will get the sermons anyway in their religious papers. Some have told us they prefer serial stories. We shall publish which ever tho majority of our subscribers prefer. Please write us postal stating your preference. If we do not hear from you we shall take it for granted that you "don't care cent" about the sermons; and in that case, after req sonable time, we shall commence the publication of serial stories.

Snakes vs. ChurchgOing.

The New York Sum-. (which shines for all" and makes the proud boast, Eff you see it in the Sun it is so," in re- cent issue, it publishes full column of most remarkable snake stories, laying the scene of each in New Jersey. We can only allude to these interesting narratives. It speakes of a procession of ''garter snakes" estim ated at 5000, which was found by several local sports men, who had bets contingent on its speed, to require seven minutes to pass given spot. Another man was pursu- ed several miles by an enormous rattle snake, whose fiery eyes shone in the dark. Still another man was chased by "hoop snake," which he at first thought was bicycle tire. This re- markable communication also states that the people of Hackensack, N. J., are prevented from attending church by the prevalence of the ophidians.
 At first thought these stories seem >u bO our 6bOI6 Ol SCl6ubluC knowledge of snakeology which should be laid at once before our Agassiz soci- ety, but after some reflection we are satisfied that that idea must be aban- doned. We are convinced that the stories are untrustworthy. That state. ment about churchgoing ''gives the whole thing away" and points to the existence of widespread conspiracy among the men of New Jersey to shirh their Sunday religious duties and who with their masculine imaginationt stimulated and excited by the ''seducive influence of the subtle "Jersey Light ning," the effect of which on tht imagination is so we'll known, have conspired to circulate these stories tt prevent thelr mothers rnd wives iron wanting to go to church. We fee bound to say that we doubt the ultimat' success of this scheme.
