BONNEVILLE.
The BOndvIlIe Fair.

The tenth annual fair at Bondville was
held Oct. 2. In the opinion of many, the
attendance was the largest of any fair ever
held here. The day was beautiful and
the roads in excellent condition. 1t was
estimated that fully 5000 people were pre-
sent. The Weston cornet band furnished
music for the occasion.
The show of stock was not up to that of
former years, but there was an excellent
display of vegetables; some of the potatoes
seemingly were large enough to feed
small family, and some of the pumpkins
and squashes were immense.
Floral hall was not so crowded with
pretty things as usual, though there were
many useful and beautiful articles. We
noticed a cake made by Mrs. Jacobs in
1869, which looked old enough to be good.
Rev. S. II. Tucker delivered the address,
which was good. He gave a plain talk on
agriculture the practice of which farmers
would find to their advantage.

We are pleased to say that the Home Comfort
Range suits us in every way. The agent was a
good talker that sold it to us, but he could not
talk good enough to tell all the merits of the
range. 1t is very small fuel consumer. We
can do a baking with one stick of hard wood and
it is the most even baker we ever used.

Death of Mrs. Cummings.

News was received last week of the death
Mrs. Sylvia N. Cummings at her home in
Fitchburg, Mass. Many will remember
her, as, although :she was born in Heath,
Mass, her early years were spent here, her
parents, Mr.. land Mrs. Otis Streeter, NOV
ing here when she was young. She was
married at Worcester, Mass, in 1859 and
moved from there to Fitchburg in 1866.
Her niece, Miss Dora, daughter of the late
Webster Streeter, has had happy home
with her since the death of her parents
here, and there is daughter, Alice, be-
sides the husband to sorrow for her, but
mot as those who have no hope" The
Fitchburg Daily Sentinel of Sept. % says
of her: "Mrs. Cummings has been very
active, earnest worker in the First Baptist
church and in many lines of Christian
work. By her death the victims of disease,
the children of want and affection, lose a
true and generous friend who carried with
her the thought of improving those around
her." The night before her death, although
for two days she had been slightly indis-
posed, she gathered flowers and carried
them to a sick neighbor. The cause of
death was said to be neuralgia of the heart.
The funeral was at the house. Mrs.
Cummings belonged to the w. G. 7. u,

elusive Use of q Public Wharf-Case
Continued Till Today.
+ The case of DIR. Bacon against the Casco
Bay Steamboat company, occupied the
Supreme court, Saturday. Civil Engineer
Jordan testified as to dimensions, etc., OF
the wharf. There was contest between
counsel as to the ownership of the wharf.
Mr. Hale, for the steamboat : company
claimed that they leased 1t from Francis
Cushing, with no agreement to keep it
repaired Manager Cooling said that they
paid NJ Cushing 5000 per year for the use
of the wharf.
Right here Judge Walton called halt.
I" Lot me understand this, said he, "did
Mr.. Cushing agree to keep all other
steamboats, from landing at that wharf,
besides those owned by the Casco Bay
line?'
Mr.. Cooling said yes. The Judge
declared that according to the law, any
other steamboa line could land there by
paying fair sum, as the wharf was a
public one.
The witnesses for the defense apparent
ly included all the inhabitants of the
island. They testified as to the wharf,
and how DR.. Bacon was injured. The
case was continued till today.
