DURHAM TURNPIKE.

When contractors place some more top dressing of fine stone in some places on the Durham turnpike, the road will be approved by the state highway commissioners. This piece of road is about half mile long, which with that built by the selectmen makes mile of good road on that turnpike. This road may be stoned this fall as far as the Long hill chapel

infant classroom. This is provided with

The basement is fitted up for prayer
meeting room, q ladies' parlor, kitchen,
pantry, etc. The ladies' parlor, which is
TO be the scene of many sociables, has
big, open fireplace in one corner. This is
beautiful affair of Roman brick and
carved stone, and gives the room at once
an elegant and home-like appearance.
Next Sunday will occur the dedication
services and the pastor, Rev. Fountain r.
Farrand, states with justifable pride, that
contrary TO the usual custom, there Will
be no collection taken TO pay church
debts. The new edifce, exclusive of the
lot, cost $4,000, but the price paid for the
Mlsslon-street property was so much in
excess of that paid for the present site,
that the margin went well toward paying
building expenses. The large edifce on
Mission street, which the congregation for
merIy used, has been sold and is now being
torn down. They still own the chapel adj
joining the old church, at which services
will be held this morning for the last
time They will continue to maintain
Sunday-school there.
The region where the new church is To-
Gated is particularly deficient in church
edifices. In the whole Panhandle district
there is no other Protestant church, and
DR.. Farrand expects TO build up large
congregation. His present church men,

the present location. Many of them live

be lowered so much as to enable the ship

do for ships. With having our share OF
the ocean trade, there would come the re-
teHtion in this country of large portion
of the millions in gold paid to England
for transportation, besides the diversion
to this country of trade which now flows
past US under foreign flags.
Mr.. Samuels concludes his paper with
the following comprehensive paragraph:
The cost to the Government of this law,
were it $40, COO, 900 per annum, would be triv-

stow. 1t has been estimated that 132 different
industries contribute to the building and

protection be afforded to any other industry
that would be so far-reaching and beneficial in
effect? Could any National enterprise within

congressional action than this? A law that

throughout the leng tn and breadth of the land
cannot be measured in the scales against ap-
propriations demanded by Congressman for
their backwoods constituency, or by the
amount of protection accorded to a syndicate
of monopolist manufacturers. The law must
be as liberal as the grandeur of its object ae-

Appellate courts can know nothing of

Appellate courts too frequently seem to
think that superior knowledge of the
law is shown not by affirming We ac

its action
1t is like the case of the bold, open
critic, who frequently gets credit for Sn-
perior knowledge by the audacity of
his criticism, when, i'll fact, he knows
nothing Of the subject. Appellate courts
are very often made up of men wanting

principles of the criminal law, for they
