 Fast day services were held here on Friday at Mr Peck's, where our usual weekly prayer meeting is held and where we have held our occasional services. Mrs Calhoun who has been long sick, was present. The subject was, ''What Gods people are to Him and what He is found in Exodus 19 :3,6 and st Cor. 80. Gods people are peculiar treasure to him above all people and he has made provision for them in his great love to redeem them unto himself, through Jesus Christ, his only begotten and we'll be. loved son and to give tPem home with Him, eternal in the heavens.
 April has put on stern, and in some measure a defiant aspect. The air has a tinge of winter with the thermometer at IS or II degrees below freezing. Conse- quently our roads are rough and if the mercury rises above the freezing point during the day, the mud is not exces, sive. The closing days of March gave us assurance of spring which April has contradicted. Still we have reason to hope for the presence of milder weather soon. Seed time and harvest is promis- ed, and there is no going back of it. These seasons are as sure as rising and setting suns or waxing and waning moons.

RUMFORD FALLS.
The Town Has Made a Substantial Increase
During the Year.
lisp ECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Rumford Falls, April 29-The
town OF Rumford has made a substantial
increase in it's Inhabitants, in it's number
of polls and in it's valuation during the
past year. The Assessors have just COM
pleted the assessment of taxes for the
year 1896 and their report shows the
total number of polls in town to be S96,
total valuation 81, III, 1853 divided as fol-
Iows Real estate 81, 029, $40, personal es-
tes.S142, Alb. The amount raised for State
and County taxes and for town purposes
1928 326. 10. The rate of taxation for the
current year will be eighteen mills on 3
dollar. This is growth or gain in val
uation of over 1907. 900 from the valuation
of 1895, and with Reed elected for -PreSi
dent we predict the valuation April 1st,
1898, would be over three million dollars.
The territory which now embraces
Rumford Falls Village Corporation, be-
fore the march of Improvements set in,
had less than twenty scholars drawing
school money; today there are over five
hundred.
The village has fine high school build
ing and is maintaining one of the best
graded schools in the State. Its course
of study rates fair with the academies at
Hebron, Bethel, and Fryeburg.
AT thar time there was no post office
within the limits of the present village
corporation; at date there is a post office
here classed as presidential office and
paving a salary of over $500. This places
Rumford at the head in Oxford county.
Tho Masonic Fraternity of Rumford
Falls is well represented. There are up
wards of seventy five Blue Lodge Masons.
The Masonic Lodge in town is known as
Blazing Star Lodge, No. &c. and is one of
the Oldest in the State. 1t is now located
at Rumtord Center. AS Rumford, in the
past, has had several small villages Blaz-
ing Star Lodge has been moved from time
to time. Some twenty years ago it was
located at Mexico Corner, near Rumford
Falls. The members Of Blazing Star
Lodge have, by a very strong vote, re-
Gently voted to ask permission Of the
Grand Lodge to move to Rumford Falls,
and this petition will be presented to the
Grand Lodge at its coming session in
May next; also the Chapter members in
and around Rumford Falls will present
a petition asking for the formation Of u
new Chapter the present summer.
