The lato WILLIAM HENRY Low, about
whose bior many prominent citizens that
he counted among his friends gather to-
day, will be missed and mournod in the
circles that knew him and, by personal
association, had loved him for his staunch
integrity, warm affections, and those ster-
ling qualities OF heart and mind that ever
endear the possessor to his fellowmcn, and
which, in an exceptional measure, were
part OF Mr. Lows nature. He was q good
citizen, modest and unassuming as he was
strong and courageous and 10 is in no
light vein, rather OF sincere admiration as
well as warm friendship, that we beg to
refer to him as good fellow. With us,
and with the many who like ne knew
the cordial grasp OF his hand, his memory
will be ever green.

PAWTUxET PARAGRAPHS.

IS Broad straet


1t was merry party that left Mr.. Hi
ram Hsrt's home on Battery street in the
drag, "Master Workman" on Tuesday,
September 10. The party was joined at
Pawtuxet by another barge which was
loaded TO it's utmost capacity, both des-
tined for the Homestead" at Warwick.
About so partook of an old-fashioned
clambake, OF the very best, prepared by
Mr.. Israel Smith, and 6ll did ample JUS
tice TO the bounties supplied. The day
was altogether too short, made so by the
pleasurse crowded into 1t, consisting of
games of football, baseball and other
sports. Friends gathered from Boston,
Pawtucket and many other places.
No small part of the days enjoyment
was the moonlight ride home to Proyi-
dence. which was onlivened by singing,
and the party reluctantly dispersed, hop
ing that Dir. and Mrs. Hart will live to
have many more of these annual gather
ings.
About 10 members from the Aetna Lodge
arrived at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet yes
terday with their families The commit
tee OF arrangements were; Mr.. John
Worthington, Mr.. Curtis Beatty, Harry
Il. Washburton. Lunch was spread at
noon, after which games and rowing were
participated in till p. M, when one of
Rhodes bakes was set before them, and
all did honors TO the repast. After din
ner game OF baseball was enjoyed be-
tween the married and single men, under
the management of captain Worthingto on
and captain Lyon, resulting, in five Inn
inge, in favor of the married men, IA to
II. The game was called on account OF
darkness.
The storm struck Pawtuxet in all its
fury last night. Several tents went up
in the air, and one frame building be-
longing TO Youlding was blown 4 feet
from its foundation.

At the big Gospel Tent on Broad street,
where enjoyable and profitable religious
services have been held every day in the
week for all summer, while most OF the
churches have been closed, there was u col
lection taken up, the other evening. The
collection amounted TO abont fifty dollars.
There were upward OF two thousand pvo-
pie present under the canvas aud nassed
about the grounds. The work OF the Tent
enterprise, which has evidently been SO
excellently well performed, is about three
hundred dollars i'm debt, and we should
have supposed larger contribution
would have been forthcoming from so nu-
merous congregation. AT an afternoon
service at the tent, il appears, a some
what smaller company contribute cd sixty
three dollars for Christian enterprise,
not associated with the tent work. We
hesitate 10 draw conclusions from an in
sufficient number OF instances, but pre-
vailing idea, that the farther removed from
among us is Christian mission endeavor
the more cordially we contribute TO ii,
seems to be borne out by these parallel
contributions at the Gospel Tent. To
speak frankly, we don't like contribution
box mugwuinpery any more than we do
any other mugwumpery.
We understand that the Gospel Tent
has done good work. 1t has certainly
worked at an amazingly small expense.
We should think that the thousands
who have enjoyed the services would be
glad to contribute the mite required TO re-
lieve the enterprise of its burden, which
is small in amount, however heavy for
the projectors.
