GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
or Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Campbell or
sartons River.


The 10Th anniversary Of the wedding Of
DR.. Daniel Campbell and wife Of Saxtons
River was quietly celebrated Tuesday
when five Of their six children with their
families, 10 the number Of 81, met a. the
old home 70 congratulate the happy couple
upon the successful rounding out OF half
century Of welded life and to wish for
them a lOng-cOntinued and peaceful jour
ney down the remainder Of life's pathway.
Both the doctor and his wife we're ayerse
u making the occasion anything more
than quiet family gathering and their
wishes we're regarded, but there was not
one Of their large circle Of friends and
neighbors that did not heartily, il silently,
echo the sentiments that we're expressed
under the family roof. The doctor and
his wife are respectively - and II years
old. Both enjoy good health and both ap-
parently are good for many more years Of
what have proved 70 be happy, profitable
and well-spent lives.
Those present we're Dr. Edward K
Campbell and family Of Bellows Falls,
William II. Campbell and wife Of Saxtons
River, and Preston II. Hadley and family
George K. Wales and family, Henry s.
Frost and family, and Mrs. Julia Cole and
child Of Bellows Falls. One daughter
Mrs. G. VI. Potter Of Lowell, Mass, was
unable 70 be present.
DR.. Daniel Campbell was born in West

nearly all his life within a few miles Of his
birthplace. His father was farmer. and
his grandfather, who was a direct descend
ant from the Scottish house Of Argyle.

ernOr Of Massachusetts,
AfterTard he returned to Westminster
and Jan. q, 1896 married Julia A. Hall
at the home OF her father, Capt. Edward
Hall, in the West parish. For 10 years he
practiced in that village, then removed to
SaXtons River, where he has since lived
and where he possessed a large practice
until he found it necessary by reason Of
advancing years TO give up large part Of
the active work Of country physician
and to be enabled to enter upon a period
Of well-earned rest, For the last few
years he has practiceI but little. Dr.
Campbell represented the town Of Rock
ingham in the legislature Of lsG4-j, and
was the Democratic nominee for speaker
Of the house. He has several times been
the candidate Of his party for state senator,
and in lss0 was made the Democratic can

Animal corpor.tlen n..,Inr.

The baiifs have pasted the warning for
the annual corporation meeting, calling IL
Tuesday evening instead u Monday even
ing, a. provided in the bylaws. The
change j. neceasitated BY the engagement
Of the town hall for that evening, By the
J. T.. TOole company. The bailiis pre-
sent their annual report this year 10 ma
iority and minority form, there being some
points upon which II. ID. Ryder, az one Of
the board, differs from the other Two, Geo.
A. Weston and ID. +. Higgins. Both are
printed - the voters may judge Of the ac-
ton " each, the books being distributed
Wednesday. The principal points Of diff
ference are that Mr. Ryder thinks the cleo
trio light contract, recently signed BY the
other members " the board. should have
been made upon a basis of not burning the
street lights on moonlight nights, thereby
saving the village about 500 annually.
The cOst II lights in 1893 was SZ369. ~;
in 1894, SZJsj. %; in 1896, SZs72.J4; and
Mr.. Ryder argues that the present contract
will cost ~ about $500. A second dis
agreement IL On the ACCESSIBILITY of apply
ing a surplus " $500 belonging u the high
way funds, in the treasurer's hands, 70
the general fund, and using 1t ~ pay gen
eral expenses of the village instead Of con-
creting sidewalks and improving the streets.
He calls particular attention u the need Of
paving in the square 10 front Of Towns
hotel Another disagreement Is the rec
ommendatOn Of the majority as 70 the tax
suggested by them for the coming year
They think 70 per cent adequate - cover
the running expenses for this year. Mr..
Ryder thinks II will fall $1,000 short Of do
ing IT., unless more money Is taken from
the street department, ~ which he objects
The water department expended Sl9,-
ZJ4 IN laying the increased size Of pipe
from the pond, and building the new
intake. The regular running expenses Of
the corporation las. year we're Sll ,040 as
compared with Sll ,Ss7 in 1894, and Sl4,-
391 in 1893 The Indebtedness Of the vii
lage was increased during the year from
$50, 49G TO so ,243, net increase Of $751;
TAI, caused by the improvements 10 the
water system which is funded at per
cent interest. Among the articles Of the
warrant for the meeting are: To see If the
village will pave the square, which ought
TO be done; 70 see If they will increase the
water rates, which ought also TO be done,
as they are ridiculously low and 70 see If
they will buy a steam roller for use upon
the streets. &. l.. Wheeler, as chief Of the
fire department, recommends better quar-
tiers than at present for the department.
Seven alarms were rung in during the year
two Of which were for fires in North Wal
pole. The largest loss was at the stock
house Of the Fall Mountain Paper com
pany, il being $500, while all the other
fires Of the year did not aggregate a loss in
our village Of over $500, probably.

The Sunday school in the northeast part
OF the town, known as the Hill Sunday
school, is rejoicing in the acquisition OF the
nucleus Of library, consisting Of about a
dozen volumes Of good reading. This is
the result Of the penny collection, for which
the children should have due credit, mas
much as it often required self denial. A
portion was contributed to the fresh-air
fund. Considering the small number and
the distance which some have to come this
is an encouraging outlook, and bespeaks
better things in future. This school was
organized by Miss Hattie Putnam in June,
1893. When duty called her elsewhere she
passed the charge into the hands of John
Davis, the present faithful superintendent.

ONE OF PERcrvAL's BEST KNOWN PoEl

ONE OF PERCIvAL's BEST KNOWN POEMS.
Deep In the wave is a coral grove,
Where the purple mullet and gold fish rove;
Where the sea flower spreads its leaves of blue
That never are W. with falling dew,
But IN bright and changeful beauty shine
Far down in the green and CLASSY brine
The floor is of sand, like the mt untain drift,
And the pearlshels spangle the tlinly snow;
From cora rocks the sea-plaDts lift
Their b. ughs, where the tides and pillows flow;
The water is calm and sui below,
FOR the who's and waves are absent there,
And the sands are bright as the stars that glow
In the motionless fields of upper air.
There, with its waving blade of green,
The sea nag streams through the silent water,
AND the crimson leaf OF the dulse is seen
10 blush like a banner bathed in slaughter,
There with light and easy motion
The tan'coral sweeps through the clear, deep
sea;
And the yellow and scarlet tufts of ocean
re bending like corn on the upland lea;
And life, in rare and beautiful FORMS
is sporting amid those bowers of stone,
AUD Is safe " hen the Wrai hful spirit of storms
Has made the top of the wave his own.
Ana when the ship from mis- fury flies,
VINE o the mYritt voices Of ocean roar,
When the wind god frowns In the murky skies,
And demons are waiting the wreck on shore;
Then far below, in the peaceful sea,
Inc purple mullet and goldfish rove
Mhere he waters murmur TRANQUILITY
through Z . bending tWigs of the coral grove.

The excitement of the week has been the
solving Of the question, who set Herber,
Leach's buildings on fire. The general de-
sire seems to be that a reward be offered
by the town fathers for the apprehension
Of the incendiary, for without doubt the
fire was incendiary. When Mr.. Leach
went to feel his stock Tuesday morning
he smelled kerosene, and upon examining
the hay NOW found 1t soaked with the oil.
He informed d. G. Wright, the agent who
insured his buildings, but he thought the
person bad been frightened away, and that
nothing would come Of it. Mr.. Leach,
however, concluded TO keep a watch, and
at o'clock Thursday morning he went to
the house to get lunch, and fell asleep.
Upon waking half an hour later he found
the flames bursting out Of the barn. Mr..
Leach and his family are with his father,
John Leach.
