REV. MR.. SADLER DOES NOT APrRo'
OF JOHNS COMMENTS.
Rrckr1ELp. Sept. II, 1886.

BUCKFIELD, Sept. II, 1885.
Editor Democrat;
Nv attention has been called Of late %
two brief articles published in your pa
per. MAY | in turn call your attention
10 them: The first was an account OF N
entertainment given in our church and
was styled BY your reporter "a passa-
Die show" Allow me To state that this
entertainment has been giyel three times
by Mrs. Saddler in Massachusetts, With
excellent results, and by invitation MAS
repeated last evening al East BucAfield
with like results.
The second article was styled John :
Letter" The author OF this letter could
have known but little of the facts which
he attempted 10 ridicule.
First, the roof of our church edifice il
acknowledged To be one of the strongest
framed roofs in the village. Hence
there is no danger OF any ones being
injured by the falling Of the belfry.
second. the parlor 10 be annexed 70
our church is TO be an attractive and
pleasant place for social meetings,
ladies' societies, receptions, young men :
reading room, etc, etc.
Third, the preachers salary is met In
full TO date.
Fourth, there was no disturbance at
conference time about Buckteld APP
pointment.
May now state my reasons for writ
ing?
First, an annex as above mentioned is
a positive necessity.
second, We need the sympathy and
CO operation OF many homes where
your paper is welcomed.
Third, believe il TO be generally
understood among editors that the
columns Of their papers should be de-
voted 10 worthier objects than the injury
by ridicule or otherwise Of church or
personal interest.
Fourth, feel that you were unaware
of the disparsging tendency of these
articles, and Of the purport and object OF
my work.
In consideration of these facts, dear
sir, may ask for q personal reply from
YOU, that may be sure OF the position
of your paper in the future.
Very sincerely yours,
7. W. SADLER.
Pastor NJ. +. church.
I'm the same spirit in which our cor
respondent asks, we reply that the posi-
ton OF the Democrat is AS it has always
been. TO support and encourage every
thing that tends TO the uplifting Of man
kind, whether church or social organi-
zation. or personal and private effort.
As TO Johns knowledge Of the facts, he
is doubtless able to speak for himself;
as TO any ridieule, direct or implied, Of
religious matters, in Johns Letter, We
must plead guilty 10 not perceiving 1t.
Our correspondent has certainly implied
some things from the letter which are
not suggested. We are well aware that
Johns styles anything but convention
al, and that he occasionally turns alb
ruptly from particular matter to con-
slider q suggested generality, and Incl
perhaps to exercise his power
Of satire against some popular delusiOn
or abuse. Ridicule Of genuine religion
may have been many times concealed in
the peculiarities Of Johns style; but IL
30 We are so obtuse as not to discover
It. When we do discover anything Of
the kind, we shall run our pencil through |

the eRowN-kIMBALL CASE.

Judge Fosters decree In the equity
suit Of Hannibal G. Brown and Edwin
II. Brown vs. J. Wayland kimball Co. ct
ais has been received by the clerk Of
courts.
The j. wayland Kimball Co., manu-
featuring chairs at West Paris, made
an assignment for the benefit OF Its
creditors In February, 1888. The deed
Of trust was executed from the company
to Charles IL. Adams, the foreman OF the
company. A short time after he convey
ed the property to George g. Hart Of
New York. Soon after he conveyed the
property to Julia b. Kimball, wife Of j.
Wayland Kimball, and she subsequently
conveyed It to George A. Wilson for the
benefit Of George S. Hunt OF Portland
and others, who organized the West
Paris Manufacturing Co. and continued
the business.
Brown Il Son had had contract with
the Kimball Co. to get out the stock for
the chairs, and at the time Of the assign
ment had on hand quite quantity OF
lumber in various stages Of manufacture.
They had also endorsed notes for the
company, and claim several thousand
dollars as due them from the company.
When the company assigned, Brown 4
Son were not named as creditors In the
deed of trust, and this bill In equity
asks 10 have the deed Of trust set aside
as not being bona .fde assignment for
the benefit of creditors, but as fraudu-
lent conveyance which covered up this
property beyond the reach of genuine
creditors.
The defendants assert that the deed oil
trust was bona fde assignment, and
also that Brown 4 Son were not cred
itors Of the company at that time.
The case was heard by Judge Foster
at the close Of the May term, and mass
Of evidence in the form of dispositions
was introduced. The decree Of Judge
Foster, just filed, la:
That the said complaipants, Hannibal q
| brown and Edwin II. Brown, were creditors OF
the said j. Wayland Kimhall Company nj thu
| bill: that each OF said conveyanccs OF property
belonging TO the said ]. Wayland kimhall Com
pany named In said bill were fraudulent an'
weld a. against the creditors of the said j. Way
/ land kimball Company. and particularly a.
against the said complalnan,s.
II Is further decreed that master IL
chancery shall be appointed at the mex
term Of court, To determine the amount
due the complainants; and that costs
shall be allowed the compliments by TIT
court after the masters report Is filed.

1871 words on a Postal Card.

N. j. Brown, who at last accounts
was a resident of Milwaukee, once
succeeded in squeezing 1871 words
on a single postal card. The task
performed by Mr.. Brown was com
pleted inside of 16 hours without
glasses or artificial aid of any kind.
and when finished could be plainly
read with the naked eye. In 1892
the editor of a Partisan newspaper
offered a gold medal to the person
who would crowd the greatest num-
Der of words on post card. The
prize was taken by M. Survigny, q
French government clerk, who wrote
an official directory of France from
president down to the members of
the Paris counoil-all together 5000
words-on a card somewhat smaller
than our common postal card. st.

How a Woman Swims.

There is this popularity about a
woman's swimming-she will either
swim dog" or frog" fashion, the
former being the easier, the latter
the correct way.
A woman rarely if ever uses the
overland stroke to any advantage.
There are women known to have
done 50, but they find it impossible
to keep it up or make any progress.
All men use it to the exclusion of
other methods. That it is swifter is
shown, as swimmers all adopt it in
racing. This may be another reason
why all women swim slowly. The
arm in this stroke is brought back
ward, then over the head and plung-
ed forward, the shoulder being en-
tirely out of the water at each stroke.
This motion seems to precipitate the
body through the waves, the action
being rarely graceful, but forceful.
1t is exactly as if one were pulling
himself through the water by means
of taut rope. -Chicago Record.

Trees.

Trees have about them something
beautiful and attractive, even to the
fancy, since they can not change
their places, are witnesses of all the
changes that take place around
them, and as some reach a great age
they become, as it were, historical
monuments, and, like ourselves,
they have life, growing and pass
ing away-not being inanimate and
unvarying, like the fields and rivers.
One sees them passing through va
rious stages, and at last, step by
step, approaching death, which
makes them look still more like our
selves. -Humboldt.
