RE-OPENS SEPT. 3rd. 1898.

men were discharged here after the falls
were safely passed, and being paid off went
to their homes. The class of men EN-
ployed this season has not been as
high as in late years, large part being
French Canadians. Much difficulty is be-
ing had this year, and very costly drive,
because of the low state of the water.
Sells Bros circus was here Tuesday,
and drew two large crowds. The street
parade was said to be as good as any which
has been here in recent years. All speak
in the highest terms of the show as
whole and particularly of the correct bear
ing of all connected with it. Although
there was a large attendance, it was gen
orally understood that, with the small adj
mission price (2j cents, they must have
left more money here than they took.
Two young men have been here a week
or more in the interest of Y. NJ. c. A.,
and meetings have been held each evening
and some afternoons. They are to remain
| through this week, perhaps longer They
have been assisted portion of the time
by State Secretary Olandt, who went
| Thursday morning to other points. Con
siderable interest is manifest among the
| younger portion of our people and it may
be an organization will be formed here.
Miss Kate Titus, who has been employed
some years as teacher of French, Latin
and some other branches in the public
| schools of Everett, Mass, has been elect
| ed to the same position for the coming
year This is particularly complimentary
as the school board has been obliged to
supply her place ever since Christmas on
account of her serious Illness and she is
still in very i'll health, hardly able to sit up.
She is gaining, but slowly, and it is uncer-
tain if she is able to begin work in Sep
TENDER.
The Christian Endeavorers to the num-
Der of about GO, representing the local or
CARNATIONS and those from SaXtons River
Cambridgeport and other outlying points,
took the special Vermont train here at
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. 1t was a
jolly party, and when the train drew into
the depot from Burlington, decorated with
its flags and streamers, considerable enthu-
siasm was shown. On the noon train
from Boston three members of the Boston
committee, prettily uniformed, arrived
here to take in charge the Vermonters,
showing them many courtesies. About %
delegates went from here.
Johnnie, the 11-year-old son of Ed Bar
ry, who lives on George street, was drown
ed on Tuesday afternoon at the north end
of Green street, at the same point where
the son of Julius A. Morrill, was drowned
some years ago. 1t was where the log
chute from the Green street mill used to
enter the river, and is a favorite bathing
place. In company with three compan-
ions he was in the water bathing and went
beyond his depth. Neither he or his COM
panions could swim, and although there
were many people in the immediate vicin-
ty, it being but short distance from the
circus grounds, no alarm was given and
the boy sank. His companions dressed
quietly and started for home, but in pass
ing the residence of F. A. Bolles they told
him and he hurried with others to the
spot. They could see the body on the
bottom in deep water, and colored man
named Wheeler dove to bring it to the sur
face. 1t had probably been in the water Il
minutes or so, and although it was current
ly understood that night that life was
shown at first, it was not so. DIR. Hill
was on the spot very quickly and all the
known means of Tesuscitation used, but to
no avail. The father is a well-known en-
ploye of the Fall Mountain Paper COM
pany and much sympathy is expressed for
the family.
