Mrs. CALVIN DART, whose illness
from fall, we noted last week, is still
confined to her bed, and her ultimate re-
cOvery is quite problematical.
THERE is considerable sickness in
town, most of it being in the form of
hard colds resembling la Grippe. PLY
sicians are having all they can do.
THERE will be services in the Metho-
dist church Sunday at the usual hours

A. p. CHILDs has distributed several
copies of a calendar, issued by the New

JAS. II. ARCHER, who has been at
home here for vacation, goes, to-day,
to Canaan, n. Y, where he has a posi-

use might save life.
PROF. f. L. LONG went into his rooms
in the Adams block yesterday, just be-
fore noon, and found a smart blaze start
cd in the wainscoting of his rear room.
A few pals of water put out the fire, but
IN little time the results might have

THE friends of Miss Mary H. LOOMS,
now studying music with Prof Chas. n.
Adams of Boston, have proposed "ben-
eft" to be given on the evening of the
end, inst. We think this will meet with
cordial response from our people. 1t
