T A Boston man in looking over an old
bound volume of the Weekly Magazine
of that city finds the following queer
account of a tragic event in Maine,
many years ago. 1t was among the
deaths in August, 1903, and read as fol-
lows
''At Buxton. Maine, Miss Appleton,
aged 90 She deprived herself of life by
twisting twenty strands of tow yarn
about her neck with one hand, whilst
with the other she held herself up by
the round of ladder. She was found
in this situation; and her arm being
loosed from the ladder, she fell and
broke one of her legs. She had been
melancholy for several months on ac-
count of the doubts she entertained re-
specting the mode of religion she ought
to profess. Her father it seems was a
Baptist, who told her If she did not
join the Baptist church. she would be
damned Her mother who was a Con-
gregationalist, assured her that she
would be damned if she did join the
Baptists.' Thus circumstanced, her
melancholy commenced, and continued
to increase until she strangled herself
in despair"
Poor Miss Appleton! No wonder she
story forcibly illustrate the progress
we have made in the last 80 years ?

THE GAZETTE.

Congratulations are extended to cur
venerable contemporary, the Allen
ANpRIA GAZETTE, which entered yes
terday upon its ninety-eiehth year.
During its long life the GAZETTE has
suspended publication only once. and
that was during the dark days of the
war between the States, when its office
was seized and destroyed by the
Federal troops. Fortunately its files
were preserved, and thus it is that the
city has a complete history of its hap
penings for nearly century OF its ex-
istence. This long career is sufficient
evidence of its usefulness and the es,
TEEN in which it is held, and as one of
the oldest and best papers in the State,
it is, we trust, even yet in its youth
Norfolk Ledger.
The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE entered
upon the 9Sth year of its publication on
the LIST instant. This is a pretty long
life for newspaper, but still tho GA
zETTE has lived it, and despite its great
age, it is as young and as vigorous as
in the days of its earlier youth. In
fact, like good wine it improves with
age, and continues welcome visitor
to thousands OF families. The Virgin
ian congratulstes its contemporary and
hopes that it may continue to prosper
"a the years 60 on.-Nortolk Jirginian.
