LEVERS & COOKE,
CARRIERS
WHITE
LEAD
IS STRICTLY PURE.

The Carter White Lead Company
stands ready at any and all times by
practical tests to prove that the Carter
Lead will cover one-fourth more sur
face. and do it better, than any brand of
lead manufactured by what is known as
the old Dutch Process. and also to prove
its superiority in body whiteness and
durability.
We invite practical painters to make
independent tests by carefully measuring
surface and weighing the leods to be
tested and then comparing results
which will in every instance prove that
Carter Lead will cover one
fourth more surface
The superiority of Carter Lead is due
TO improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which a perfect corrosion is obtained,
and, consequently, when you purchase
a keg of Carter Lead you get keg of
Lead that is perfectly corroded.
A key of Carter White Lead is
All Paint.
The new plant recently put in opera
ton in Chicago is the largest in the
world and the combined output of the
Chicago and Omaha factories places the
Carter Company in a position to fill all
orders promptly.
There is more Carter White Lead
sold than any other brand manu-.
featured in the United States.

 The Congregational church at Stafford vile has fully doubled its membership during the past year, and has been unus- ually prosperous in other particulars.
 The N. l.. N. R. }. Go. is erecting a new tank house near the west end of the passenger station. The old one, near the freight depot, is to be abolished.
 Rev. Mir. Freeman, who supplies the pulpit at the Street, found, on his arrival there last Saturday night, large party and bountifuI supper awaiting him, and was made the recipient of numerous gen. erous gifts in greenbacks and other use- full articles.
 About forty couples went on a sleigh ride from Staffordville to BrimReld' on Tuesday They found the roads in such bad condition that most of them remained at Brimfeld all night and returned Wednesday morning.
 Skating has been for some time deharred by the deep snow on the ice. but the boys manege to console themselves pretty we'll for the deprivation by the splendid coast ing. The hill on Main street, east of the bank, literally swans with boys during some portions of the day. They appear to enjoy it hugely. It takes all the en- thusiasm of school boy to enable one to see that drawing a sleigh up a long, steep, slippery hill is compensated by the pleas ure of sliding down. We could "see 1t" years ago, but we can't now.
 Some thirsty individuals have been breaking into the freight depot in this village to ''wet their whistles" with fluid stored there. The offence was first com mitted on the night of January 1st, and repeated on the nights of January 5th and 9th. The floor of the depot was found strewn with half-burnt matches on each occasion, which showed very reprehensi- sle disregard of the dangers of confla- grafton. MT. Tappan, the agent of the company, offers reward of twenty-five dollars for the detection of the offenders. The loss of liquor was not very large.
 The directors of the Connecticut Sold iers' Orphans Home have made Edward Whitney, of Mansfield a life director, for his generous gift of houses and land for a home. About forty orphans are car ed for at the home in Mansfield, which has been named after Mir. Whitney, and another will soon be established at Cromwell 
 A brilliant meteor display was witness ed in Wilmington on the morning of the 9th, between the hours of two and three. It was first observed by MT. Severy, the watchman at Daleville mill. It had the appearance Of a large ball of fire, hanging in mid air, and apparently directly over the mill. After remaining stationary for three or four minutes, 1t exploded with a loud report, resembling the blasting of rocks, and scattering in every direction. The reflection of the light upon the snow resembled that of Aurora Borealis. The report was distinctly heard by several persons in the village, but heard too late for them to witness the interesting dis play.
 Messrs Bosworth & Eastman, two ex- soldiers, and also very deserving young men, short time since established a boot and shoe manufactory in Westford, which has grown to be quite an establishment, and an important addition to the indus | trial pursuits of that village.

We do not want to take money from the wage-earners, but this was military exigency, and have not found workman yet who would not share his bread with child more famish- ed than his own. John Burns, the great labor leader in England, stood up in Hyde speeches for the Armenians the laboring people are with us.
 Now only want to say one thing more, though kept 1t as little secret, but you came over to get here. Some of the friends of Armenia in the dear old mother country urged me to go to Jerusalem and see the patriarch, whom the Sultan has dismissed, to see if we could not bring him to England to stand up in his patri- archal robes and tell his story to the people. There was another plan to go the help of the Catholicus who is at the head of the whole Armenian church and who has an army of refugees around him; or to Cyprus, where it is proposed to found colony for the women and child ren. Oh, 1t all looked so heavenly to do, but said, "There are older ties; there is deep throbblng cord between me and the white-ribbon women of my country, and though I could not leave England until I knew whether my native land would welcome the Armenians, then l came to with glad heart, although there was work-a holy work and a great-heart- ed comrade that left behind.

They told me things not lawful to utter of what young hus- bands suffered in the presence of the young wives who were true to them and who with them endured double death in the open streets. And said in my heart, "That is Gods nation, and am going to Marseilles to help" (Applause.) knew that you would say 1t was all right knew your great hearts were with me, and so Lady Henry Somerset and went over, and Anna stayed by the stuff and got every thing packed ready to come home. And then when we had those poor, hope less beings in our care, one hundred were sent to London and some to Switzerland, to Paris and to Algiers; there still re- mained the cry, "Please send me to America" and when they could not say anything else they still said "Americ" with lifted, dark, beseeching face. Mean while the good people of England had poured out money and pr. Louis Klopsch of the Christian Herald, New York, sent in thousand dollars, and, first of all, our own Helen Barker had sent us money that you had sent in-(that was the first we received), then money came pouring out from England, and Lady Henry and I consulted together and we said, Let us send them to America and trust our nation to take care of them" And so we did. Oh, that I could tell you the story how Mrs. Stevens, of Maine, God bless her, stood in the gap (appIause) and sent me cablegram when I said, ''Can you take twenty-five in Maine ?"

"Yes, but it is against the immigration law" And those three women have been the means of nearly two hundred being provided for.
