= lH; LA, H5w become the Union church
society was laid by TIE ladies Of Sorosi-.
Il was in June, 1850, that the ladies OF
Sullivan Harbor formed themselves into
a society under he name Of SOrosis, and
became an organized body. having for i.
object the renovation and RETURNS hing
OF the hall in the village, TO make il more
suita bic for social and religious meetings.
After two or three years Of earnest
work by the ladies, the late John ;.
Emery, Of Boston, came forward and
donated a generous fund for the purpose
OF enlsrgiug, re-builQing and refUrnish
ing the building. This work completed,
the ladies of Sorosis, unwilling to be idle,
after having first tasted he fruits Of con-
centrsted and well-directed efforts de-
liberated a. to what next TO turn their
labors.
Let Us build chapel, was the sug
gestion, no sooner made than adopted.
But this was big undertaking, and
friends outside the society were taken
into consultation. The outcome OF all
this was the formation Of the
UNION CHAPEL ASSOCIATION
which united Itself with Sorosis in the
common work. Thus reinforced, the
lades entered enthusiast cally upon he
grand work they had undertaken. Sub
seriptioHs were solicited. Former resi-
dents were generous in their contribu-
tions, and the movement received most
hattering and encouraging support.
Among the donors were the Dyers, of
California, the Simpsons, Emerys,
Humans, and Perrys OF Boston. A
liberal contributor was Edwin CHM, OF
the CHM publishing house, who in his
early career taught several terms OF
school in Sullivan.
Both organizations worked together
tremendously, and as usual with all such
undertakings at the outset, fortune
seemed to smile upon every step. But
soon the first obstacle was met. The
question of location proved bone OF
contention which threatened TO defeat
the end for which the societies had so
earnestly and, up to this time, so bar
moniously worked.
To have the church centrally located,
and yet on desira bic site--a site salts
factory to all interested-was the problems
MT, and which could not at that time be
overcome. After many struggles, with
on. discouraging results, the movement
was Tor a time abandoned, and contri-
buttons were returned to the donors.
But Sorosis worked on, appropriatiug
several sums for other laudable purposes.
Al last it was thought that a location
satisfactory to all had been found. and
year later the foundation was commenced
and partly finished. But again came dis
appointment. The lot proved quite un-
suitabie-the ground wet, the land low
and this site, too, was abandoned.
Meanwhile the Sullivan Harbor i'm
proyement company had been formed.

quite desirable 10 this company for a
street opening, and 50 satisfac }ry ar

GRAVES PETITION TABLED.
Hearing before Governor and Council
Last Week.

The hearing OF the petitioners for par
two game wardens, took place before the
governor and council at Augusta last
week. Hon. a. ". Spear, OF Gardiner,
appeared for the petitioners, and County
Attorney F. 1. Campbell, OF CherryfeId,
for the State.
For the petitioners Mr.. Spear made a
most eloquent appeal. He claimed that
Graves acted in fear on account Of state
ments made by one OF the Wardens to the
other, that they must have that dog or
spill blood" He claimed that Graves
acted under the influence OF deep attach
ment to the dog, which had been used in
his family as pet dog TO drive little
cripple TO and from school. He claimed
that the dog was not deer dog. but
merely bird dog.
Moreover, Graves, as WAS claimed, fired
upon Niles after the latter had taken off
mis- coat, and, according to testimony,
with an ugly look on his face, made for
Graves with a loaded rife. Mr.. Spear
brought forth that Graves, to his best in
That the McReayey boy. the only disin-
terested witness OF the affair, had, imme-
diately after the shooting, testified TO
Mrs. Baker, that Graves had done the
shooting i'll seif-defence. No previous in
tention OF shooting was possible, from
the admitted evidence that Graves had,
shortly previous to the affair, taken
the shells from his gun, and put them in
only after the proyocation and fear had
reached to a last issue.
The counsel accounted for the shooting
OF Hill, the second of the wardens shot,
because Of the latter's, as he considered
very reasona bic, reaching for his revolver.
He claimed that MeReaveys statement
showed that Mics had approached with
his rife, loaded, and that on those
grounds, the sentence should be COM

consistently the white metals
friend, and it is regretted that his
imprisoned zeal for the cause of
his constituency influenced him to
such a serious extreme. He made
bold. vigorous. capable fight for
the favorable recognition of silver
in the national platform, and the
honest tears with which he depart
ed from the party, would have
been as consistent and worthy had
they marked his silent approval
of the DEGREES of the great party
The great masses are divided on
the money question, and Mr.. Du-
bois must suffer the censure of a

He has defined his view of the
monetary question as the living
principle Of the republican party,
and has consistently left it. His
weakness was yet virtue, making
his position all the sadder to his
many admirers in Idaho.
