inches, with pointed arch top, and
the two side windows will be three
feet wide by eight feet high each.
The design for the central window
will represent the figure of a choir

youthful singer is exceptionally in
teresting and pleasing, suggesting IL
mood of exalted religious feeling.
The background for this charming
figure is golden with accents of
clouded ivory. A border consisting
of beautiful array OF lilies, white
shaded by half-tones of pale blue
and pale green, is eight inches wide
and has background of British an
tique glass of dull blush tone.
Overhead, at the two sides of the
Gothic arch, are the heads of cherubs
with wings. The high windows at
the right is to have a full length hg-
urc of st. John, for its central fea-
ture, tie motive being derived from
a painting by Hoffman. In the
window at the left of the chancel the
subject is Christ's Agony in the Gar
den of Gcthsemane.

Rural Free Delivery.

A subject that would stand more
discussion than it gets is free deliv-
cry by the postotfice department in
rural districts. 1t is not impractical
BILE, and the chief questions about it
are whether the farmers want it,
and whether it would be worth what
it would cost. There would be
some economies in it resulting from
the diminution of fourth-class post
offices, and some gains in revenue
from an increased postal business.
In thousands of districts it would
pay very well. The $40, ooo,o 900 OF
so that might be saved by some
wholesome amendments to the law
which governs sccond-class mail

Three Bears Shot.

Messrs. Leray, Cancdy, and Pike
of Hartwellville shot three bears on
the mountain back of Tho mas
Canedy's hotel one day last week
and at noon of that day the people
of the village witnessed the novel
scene of George Fuller drawing Il
load of bears on Il bob sled with a
pair of white oxen, down the street.
The total weight Of the unusual load
was $50 pounds. The largest one
weighed 100 pounds and the other
two were evidently yearlings-onc
weighing 90 pounds and the other
100. This makes seven or eight
bears which have been killed in the
vicinity of Hartwellville during the
past year and the many tracks still
in evidence upon the snow wonld
indicate that there are from five to
ten yet remaining to be captured.
