On "Wednesday morning about s o'clock
the residents of North street were startled
by the report of a revolver, followed by pierre
ing screams. fastening in the direction of
the sounds they found Mrs. Albert Porter
lying on her face in the yard back of her
home, in dying condition. She had shot
herself through the heart. A physician was
hastily summoned, but she was dead before
his arrival. For several years she had shown
the family, but as she was considered harm
less she was allowed to stay at home. OF
late she had seemed worse and her disease
had become melancholia. The weapon she
used was Il 22-calibre revolver which she had
kept hidden for some time, and although the
family knew it was in her possession all their
efforts failed to find it.

GRAFTON.

There will be Il strawberry social at the
chapel Tuesday evening, June 30.
Flower dav was observed at the Congrega-
tional church last Sunday, the regular morn
ing service being given up for the children's
service, in which nearly all the junior mem
bers of the Sunday school participated with
songs and recitatons, each one performing
his part most creditably. The flower decora-
tons were exquisite in design and coloring,
beautiful fresh daisies being the prominent
feature arranged with hydrangea and a beau
tifll variety of gloxinia, to form dado in
front of the platform upon which the chill
dren stood, and on either side were large and
beautiful farns the whole forming an artistic
and charming effect. Much credit is due to
all who had these services in charge.

tborized by the acts OF July II and Aug
o, 1891 The notes issued were called de
mand notes" because they were payable
on demand at certain designated subtreas-
uries They were receivable for all public

amounting TO CSC, 900. The demand notes
were paid In gold when presented for re-
demption, and they were received for all
public dues, and these two qualities pre-.
vented their depreciation
AL other United States notes were de-
preciated In value from 1859 until the re-
sumption Of specie payments. The act OF
Feb. 26, 1859, provided for the substitu.
ton of United States notes In place OF the
demand notes, and they were therefore
cancelled when received. BY July 1, 1853,
all except 90, 40, 900 had been retired, and
nearly 100000 OF this small remainder
was Cancelled during the next fiscal year.
These notes were not legal tender when
first issued, but they were afterward made
so by the act of March IL. 1859.

mand notes were Cancelled. A second Issue

the redemption of a debt known as the
temporary loan. A third issue of $780,
600, 900 was authorized by the act of March
8, 1858. The total amount authorized, in
Guiding the temporary issue, was $3.50, O0O,-

The archbishop of Canterbury is
primate of all England, and therefore
takes precedence of the archbishop of
York, who is only "primate Of Eng
land. " This very nice distinction was
made several centuries ago ON account
Of a very bitter dispute arising between
the two functionaries as TO which should
precede the other. The matter was set
tied by comforting precedence upon the
archbishop Of Canterbury, the two titles
being also bestowed at the same time.
