Customs Changes

The change of an administration from
one political belief to another very natur-
ally brings certain changes i'll the Gus
toms service, by which good men go out
and other good men go in and take their
places. Certain changes are now about
to go into operation and they will de-
prive our village of number of our best
citizens. Col. Mansur is the Collector of
the new District of Memphremagog,
with headquarters at Newport, instead
of Island Pond where it naturally be-
longs both as regards the amount Of
business done and its geographical loca-
ton. Mr. Mansur has had excellent
training for this important position hav-
ing served four years in the service as
deputy collector in charge of the port of
ness man, enjoys great credit for ability
and integrity, and has the respect and
confidence of everybody in his town and
county. He has appointed Louis Follett
special deputy collector, Charles A. Ban
croft auditor, Helen Z. Clarke stenogra-
pher, and l.. Burton Jones janitor, all
from Island Pond. A great loss to our
village i'll many ways. All are clever,
capable, thorough and accurate in their
work, and Collector Mansur has made a
wise selection. No one. doubts their pc
culiar fitness for these positions. The
other officials at Newport are Benjamin
F. Paine cashier, John T. Howell deputy
collector and inspector. In our own
town John W. Thurston, deputy collector
i'll charge of the port, vacates his Office
and gives place to Porter H. Dale. The
latter brings to the performance of the
duties of the office good business capacity
and legal dscernment, and he will be
faithful and efficient officer His APP
pointment is a recognition of growing,
industrious and capable young man and
gives general satisfaction. W. H. Nor
ton, formerly in the service, consequently
possessing experience, returns to duty
here and will be able to render good as
sistance. We are glad to have Mr..
Norton and family once more located at
Island Pond. A. H. Hall will have a
reappointment soon and he too will be
helpful, bringing to the work of the port
ability and years of experience. NJ. T.
Sadleir will also receive an appointment,
he having passed the required examina-
ton. His long service in the railroad
office will be Of material help to him in
his new duties.

Fruit lars at Vallee Brothers.

Several wears since Martin B. Ladd
while at work in Willsboro, n Y, as a
mark of esteem was presented by his en-
plovers and associates with handsome
gold watch suitably engraved. Recently
he left the watch with Fred Stokes to be
repaired, and Fred placed the watch in
the customary reception case. One morn
ing last week having occasion to leave his
shop for a short time he found upon his
return that the watch had been stolen.
Diligent search was made for it but
without avail and Martin came 10 the
conclusion that he was out a W. tch,
priced far beyond its intrinsic worth. In
this he was happily disappointed. Dur
ing the evening OF the day on which the
watch was stolen a noise was heard in
Freds kitchen which Mrs. Stokes went
out to investigate but discovered moth
ing only the door open. Later on more
noise was heard, but of this no notice
was taken. The next morning Fred upon
going into the kitchen was agreeably
surprised to find the watch lying on the
floor. Whoever had stolen it had tried
to efface Martins name engraved on
the case, and failing in this saw no way
of disposing of it and concluded toreturn
it. a conclusion both Martin and Fred
appreciate.

We wish to say p few words of COM
mendation regarding the - Rob Morris a"
social given by the members of North
Star Chapter, o. Z. S., Monday evening
September 20. The social was in honor
of the founder of the order, as it now
stands, the late Robert Morris. In nearly
every state the o. L. S. has a Chapter
named in honor of the man who did so
much for masonry and for the wives
mothers, sisters and daughters ofmasons
At the close of the regular meeting of the
Chapter the guests were invited into the
masonic hall to listen to brief address
of welcome by the Worthy Matron, fol
lowed by several violin solos by Miss
Maud Danforth, accompanied on the or
gan by Miss May Follett, remarks upon
the life and works of Rob Morris, etc.
The hall presented very bright and inn
pressive appearance with flowers appro-
pirate to the different colors CT the de-
grees upon the stands beside the Star
officers. But this was all eclipsed by the
beautiful banquet served in the parlor.
Here the ladies showed their skill in many
ways, not only in the culinary line but
also by the taste in which they served
the dainties from the table beautifully
laden with fruit, confectionery, cake, ETC.,
not forgetting the flowers. The Past
Worthy Matron received at the parlor
door and two of the sisters acted as
hostesses at the banquet table. The
ladies did their best to make the occa-
sion one of pleasure and enjoyment, and
we think that they succeeded in making
their guests feel that it was privilege
to be present at such gathering. May
the order prosper in every good work.

Essex County Court.
september Term, 1897.

The case of Franklin Bell & Son VS..
Geo. Franklin, on trial at time of our
last report, resulted in verdict for the
defendant. The case of State VS.. Vim.
Tohn Carroll was next tried by the jury.
At the close of the evidence on the part
of the State the court directed the jury to
return verdict of not guilty. This
ended the jury trials of the term.
DIVORCE CASES. In the case of M. M.
Ball VS.. Willard D. Ball, bill was granted
for intolerable severity, the custody of a
child, if born alive, decreed to the petit
toner and the petitionee was ordered to
pay for the support of the petitioner SIS
per month, and everybody said ooh
righteous Judgment" In the case OF
Eta Vance VS.. Bert Vance bill was
granted for refusal to support, and Gus
tody of minor child decrred to petitioner.
The case of Bert Vance VS.. L. Vance, a
cross bill, was dismissed. The divorce
cases of Ida c. Higgins VS.. Edmund c.
Higgins, Mary Ewens VS.. Geo. w.
Ewens, and Arthusia P. Goodale VS..
Charles A. Goodale, were continued.
Among the cases heard was petition
for new trial in the case of !. M. Perry
VS.. A. /. Wright, in which the prayer OF
the petitioner was granted. Exceptions
were taken and the case passed to the
supreme court. This raises the single
question as to whether the fraud, accl-
dent and mistake" act applies to cases in
which the mistake is one in reference to
the law, in this case a mistake as to the
time i'll which copies of appeal are to be
filed with the clerk.
Twenty-three cases were disposed of,
leaving only 26 cases on the docket,
much the lowest number that have been
on the docket for more than 50 years to
say the least.
Among the cases made public presented
by the grand jury is that of the State VS..
the Listers of the to wn of Brunswick for
a neglect to properly file or leave with
the town clerk the inventories of the tax.
PAYERS in that town.
Court finally adjourned Friday noon.

The Reception.

The reception last Saturday evening
rendered by Col. and Mrs. Porter H.
Dale to the Gov. and Mrs. Grout, and to
Collector and Mrs. Il. NJ. Mansur was a
very successful affair. The Gov. and Mrs.
Grout arrived by team at l O'Clock p. m
and were greeted with the governors
salute of II guns. Both political flags
were flung to the breeze, and bunting
and flags were generally displayed, espec-
ally at the business places. Lieutenant
Governor and Mrs. Fiske accompanied
the governor and wife, having come from
their home at Isle la Motto by the way
of Derby. State Auditor and Mrs. Hale
came on the express train, as did also
Col. Erastus Baldwin and wife of Wells
River and Judge F. A. Turner of Lunen-
burg. Among the other guests were
Senator ]. Henry Beattie and wife of
Brunswick, Col. and Mrs. H. S. Has.
kell, and Mrs. Martha NJ. Haskell of
Derby Line, Theophilus Grout, wife and
daughter Miss Adde Lou, and Miss
Adele Stubs of Galveston, Texas. Mes
sages of regret at ability to be pres
ent were received from Gen. Grout, Judge
L. H. Thompson of the supreme court
Gen. T. S. Peck, Gen. w. H. Gilmore,
Gen. E. L. Bates, Coils. Doty, Clark,
Osgood and Hubbard, Hon. Horace w.
Bailey and others. The guests were
driven about town during the afternoon
and expressed themselves as surprised at
the apparent growth and enterprise of
our town, it's beautiful situation and the
cordialty of our people. One of the
party remarked to us, This place is a
revelation to me. ! had no idea that
Island Pond was such a large place and
50 pleasantly situated"
The reception was held from 8 to 10
O'Clock The receiving party was COM
posed of
Col. and Mrs. Dale,
Gov. and Mrs. Grout,
Collector and Mrs. Mansur,
Lieut.. Gov. and Mrs. Fiske,
State Auditor and Mrs. Hale
Robert E. Clarke, who is page in the SEN
ate, acted as doorkeeper. The commit
tee of introduction were John w. Thurs
ton, E. !. Parsons, Capt. Randall, E. NJ.
Bartlett, L. A. Cobb, F. c. Mosher and
E. F. Hobson, and L. Burton Jones pre-
sented the citizens to the other guests
from out of town. The line was kept in
motion till 10 o'clock, during which
time it is estimated that some six hun
dred people passed through. So general
in fact was the attendance that practi-
cally every family in town was repre-
scented. Our orchestra of seven pieces,
assisted by E. A. Steady of Berlin, N. H.,
rendered some delightful music, the saxo-
phone solo by Mr.. Steady and vocal solo
by Mrs. Cades being especially compll-
mented. After 10 O'Clock choice re-
freshments were served and social hour
was passed during which those who re-
manned had an opportunity to converse
with the honored guests. 1t was a no.
table social event, thoroughly enjoya-
BILE affair to all concerned and one long
to be remembered.

AN EXPENSIVE FEATURE,
But One That Carries With IL Proof of
Superiority.

The development of newspapers in re-
cent years has been OF the most remark.
able features in the country's progress.
Regions that ten years ago were deemed
practically inaccessible for Information
are now reached almost inStantaneouslr.
The policy of the best modern newspapers
is that the news OF the world must lie
had, no matter what the cost.
Side by side with this has come the i'm
provement of the mechanical part of the
newspaper. Presses of tremendous ca
pacity have b, en- built, typesetting ma
chimes have taken the place of hand COM
positors, and illustrations have been in
troduCed and brought to high stand
ard. This last may be called the latest
feature of the modern newspaper, and bv
the test that it gives, the position of the
Boston Journal, at the head of New
England papers, is plainly shown. No
other paper in all the six States included
in that section gives to its readers such
fine, artistic and pleasing pictures as the
Sunday Journal. They are made by the
haIt-tone process, a very expensive one,
but one that produces results that can
not be equaled by any other method. In
the e'ght-page hali-tone section of the
Sunday Journal the reader gets a high
class illustrated weekly magazine, COM
pairing tavorably with such publications
as Harper's Weekly and Leslie's Weekly
Furthermore, it is bright, newsy and
up-to-date.

About 100 last Friday evening fire
was seen coming from 6. Z. Clarke's
house on Mountain and North streets.
An alarm soon brought ready helpers
and by their extra efforts the flames were
confined to the ell part of the building
where the fire originated, from the chin
ncy. The greater part of the furniture
was saved, but of course more or less
damaged, while the main part of the
house was completely Quilted with water.
Mr.. Clarke estimates the damage to the
building at $500, exclusive OF the loss
on the furniture, which cannot be ascer-
tanned just now. The property was in
sured, and an insurance agent has been
in town this week to adjust the loss.
Mr.. Clarke desires us to say that he is
very grateful and thankful to those who
rendered such valuable assistance in saw
ing his property and keeping the fire
within bounds.
