calls attention to- the fact that, while
New York gave Mckinley plurality OF
less than 275,000, an area of like popu.
lation in the middle West, including
Northern Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin, gave puraities aggregating
nearly 400, 600, thus showing that the
alarm manifested in the East during
the campaign regarding the supposed

unwarranted.

A Western Letter.

DEARBORN, Mich, May 20, 1896.
This place is situated ten miles west
from Detroit, and about 700 miles from
Bellows Falls. A fort was erected here at
the head OF navigation on the river Rough,
about 60 years ago. 1t was of brick and
stone and much Of the timber is solid black
walnut. 1t was named Fort Dearborn
from a noted general. The fort is now
dismantled and the reservation sold. AT
that time it was frontier post, and there
were many Indians rowing around, but they
have all disappeared. The magazine was
situated outside the walls of the fort, SO
rods distant 1t was of brick, rooted with
slate Some years since in hot weather
it took fire in the roof, as was supposed,
by spontaneous combustion. 1t contained
powder in the keg and lot of loaded
shells and other explosives. The keeper
feared to open it, and it was left alone.
The fire smoldered few days and went
out. The war departmen sent orders to
bury the shells, and it was done. Some
future scientist may dig them up and prove
that they evolved from acorns why not,
as well as men from apes.
The season is early, and vegetation well
advanced, have had an abundance of rain,
and grass and crops are in good shape
The cyclone of May 18th passed few
miles north and near Detroit but did nc
damage here. 1t passed through rich
and thickly settled community and every
thing is wrecked; the debris, such as hats
and rugs, was carried 80 miles on the
wind. About 30 lives were lost and there
was great damage of property.

For Health and Pleasure.

The management have finally decided
that visit to Portland and Old Orchard
Beach, Me-, and Portsmouth and Isles of
Shoals, N. H., stopping at those noted
hotels, The Falmouth house, Old Orchard
house, the Rockingham and Appledore
would best suit the majority of Bellows
Falls people who have expressed wish to
Join an excursion this season. To those
who have had the pleasure of stopping at
Old Orchard beach and enjoyed its bathing
or have watched both the bathers and old
ocean and the surf, or have experienced
the delights OF deep sea fishing at the Isles
of Shoals nothing more need be said.
Those who have not should 60 and see for
themselves. A select orchestra is in atten-
dance at both places and music and dane
ing can be enjoyed by those wishing it. A
tour of Portland and vicinity by special car
is also proposed. The party expect to
leave Bellows Falls Wednesday morning,
July 8, and those who wish can return on
the late train the next Tuesday evening.
The plan of boat will be at DR.. Campbell's
office within a few days and those who wish
a choice of staterooms should apply to

Junior Exhibition.

One of the pleasantest entertainments of
the season by local talent was the junior
exhibition given in the opera house last
Friday evening. The rostrum was beauti-
fully decorated with flowers and ferns and
a well filled house greeted the speakers.
The music BY the Amherst glee club quar-
tet was especially fine.
The program was enjoyed by all for
three reasons 1t was short; it contained
no chestnuts; it had variety. With per-
haps one exception the selections were new
and all were well adapted to the speakers
to whom they were assigned. The
speakers, considering their age and ex-
perience, did well and merited every word
of praise that was given. Much credit is
due Mrs. j. II. Blakley who had the ar
ranging of the program and the drilling of
the speakers. The entertainment was pro-
nounced by those present the best of its
kind that has been given in this place for
several years, which speaks well for both
teacher and pupil.
Jennie Spaulding Shipman gave 1.-The
Love Knot" in a pleasing and unaffected
way that brought her round of hearty
applause.
1.-The Pilots Story" by Ada Louise Will
liams was selection that required a deal
of dramatic gesture and gift for real act
! ing, yet was well rendered.
ga Movement Cure for Rheumatism, "
one Of Burdette's happiest productions,
was given by A. Waldo Coolidge in way
that took down the house.
The s'Nurse Scene" by Misses Guild and
Shipman was thought by some to be the
best thing of the evening. Both the young
ladies performed with a naturalness and
grace that was charming.
Lucy Josephine Barker recited ''Renyi."
The selection was of an oratorical nature
and perhaps better adapted to the capacity
of an orator of the male gender, yet the
speaker rendered the piece in an easy
manner and was warmly applauded.
"Mrs, Jones' Revenge" by Carrie Emma
Daggett was another instance Of selection
admirably adapted to the gifts of the
speaker "She did finely" was an express
sion heard in the audience which gives the
whole thing in a nutshell.
''Aux Italians" by Anna Belle Williams
was fine selection given in a charming
manner. Some who did not think the
.'Nurse Scene" the best thing of the even
ing voted for this number.

The Legend of the Dipper.

There is a pretty story which tells
how the seven stars came TO form the
Upper.
Once in a country far away the peo-
pie were dying of thirst. There had
been no rain for months. The rivers
and springs and brooks had all dried
up The plants and flowers had with
cred and died. The birds We're so
hoarSe they could not sing. The Whole
land was sad and mournful. One
night after the stars had come out, q
little girl with n tin dipper in her hand
crept quietly out Of a house and went
into a wood near by. Kneeling down
under a tree she folded her hands and
prayed that God would send rain, if 1t
were only enough to fill her little dip
per. She prayed so long that at last
she fell asleep. When she awoke h
was overjoyed to find her dipper full
of clear, cold water. Remembering
that her dear mother was i'll and dying
of thirst, she did not even wait TO
moisten her parched lips, but taking
up her dipper she hurried home. In
| her haste she stumbled, and alas!
| dropped her precious cup. Just then
! she felt something move in the grass
| beside her. 1t was a little dog. who,
like herself, had almost tainted for
want of water. She lifted her dipper,
and what was her surprise to find that
not a drop had been spilled. Pouring
out a few drops ON her hand. she held
it out for the dog to lick. He did so
and seemed much revived, but as she
poured out the water the tin dipper
had changed to one of beautiful sill
yer. Reaching home quickly as posi-
BILE, she handed the water to the SER
want to give to her mother.
"Oh," said her mother, 81 will not
take it. l will not live anyhow. You
are younger and stronger than l."
AS she gave the servant the dippel
it changed into shining gold. The ser
want was just about to give each per
son in the house a spoonful of the
precious water when she saw a stran
ger at the door. He looked sad ant
weary and she handed him the dippe
IF water. He took it, saying:
BLESSED is re that gives a cup o
cold water in my name"
A radiance shone all about him ant
Immediately the golden dipper be
came studded with seven sparklin,
diamonds. Then it burst forth into
fountain which supplied the thirst,
land with water. The seven diamond
rose higher and higher until the,
reached the sky, and there the
changed into bright stars, forming tn
"Great Dipper," telling the story of a
unselfSh act.
