Miss EDMoNDs, daughter of the Rev.
@. G. Edmunds, who is known to some
of our people, is visiting Mrs. Chas.
Barnes.
MRS. VIM. e. HAWKS has been spend
ing few days, accompanied by her son
George, with Dea. and Mrs. S. G.. Cone,
at the seashore at Green Harbor.
THERE is visiting Harrison Il, Norton,
his mother from Newark, N. j., and
sister, Mrs. Morrison, from the State of
Washington. The latter is accompanied
by her son.
IN our reference to the Lemiley- Otis
wedding, Friday, the credit of the artist
who photographed the party should have
been given to A. S. Peak of Pownal Cen
tire. Mr.. Peak is a schoolmate of Mr..
Otis, the bridegroom, and, although an
amateur, secured a fine picture of the
happy scene.
LEsToR II. NICHOLS is spending part
of his vacation, with friends from Troy,
who have cottage on the shore of Lake
George. Already improving rapidly in
health before he left home, it is hoped
that the fishing, boating, and healthful
breezes of this locality will add largely
to his restoration.
THE Rev. Mr.. Conover, as we learn, has
had to ''slow up" Since Thursday last
he has been "enjoying" place on the
invalid list, which is very unusual
thing for him. 1t was combined at
tack of incipient hay fever and nervous
and physical prostration. Although
much against the repeated suggestions
of those in authority at the mill, he filled
his place daily in the Office, though with
much lessened disposition and ability.
We hope he will soon come to be his
usual self again.
SOMEBODY who wants to explain what
the editorial 1--WE" signifies says it has a
variety of meanings, varied to suit the
circumstances. For an example: When
you read that eve expect our wife home
to-day" 1--WE" refers to the editor-in-
chief; when it is 1--WE are little late
with our work." it includes the whole
Office force, even to the devil and the
towel; in 1--WE are having BOOM" the
town is meant; 1--WE received over 700,-
900 immigrants last year," and it en-
braces the Nation; but 1--WE have hog
cholera in our midst only means that
the man who takes the paper and does
not pay for it is very ill.-St. Louis
Press.
THE Boston Sunday Globe in its Cape
May IN. J.), correspondence has the fol-
lowing concerning a young lady whose
father is known to several of our people:
The belle of the Cape and the prettiest
girl that have seen in many day, is
Miss Carrie NJ. Shackford, who is stop
ping at Congress Hall. She is the daugh-
ter of Capt. Shackford oof the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, and is here
with her sister and mother. Her ward
robe is the talk of the place and fills
twenty trunks of Saratoga dimensions.
She has an immense amount of style and
wears her clothes with exceeding grace.
She has the most beautiful chiffons and
organizes and tulles that 1 ever saw out
side of rue de la Paix models, and her
hats are distractingly lovely. She has a
parasol to match every frock, and lovely
satin shoes for her afternoon toilets. Her
outing costumes are of the most ap-
proved English build, and her bathing
suits are as varied and chic as those of
any Partisan belle on the Riviera. There
is much simplicity about her frocks, but
