An Interesting Exhibition.

Pedestrians along Middle street stop
and gaze with interest in the window
of the John P. Lowell Co., where Prof.
Joseph Couden is giving exhibitions
daily OF the Whitley Exerciser, simple
and economical machine for developing
muscles and outstanding strength. Prof.
Couden is young man.of athletic pro-
Exeroiser, which is recommended by
Sandow, the strong man, of whom Prof
Couden was pupil.
The Whiteley Exerciser cannot be sur
passed for promoting physical powers and
symmetrical proportions. Not only is
the Exerciser compact, but it possesses a
decided advantage in the absence of
weights and can be put up anywhere
and taken down in a moment. 1t Is
noiseless and can be carried in the
pocket. The construction is simple, the
most important feature being rubber
cable about Is feet in lenght. The cable
consists of small strands covered with
silk and made in sizes to suit not only
powerful men, but also delicate women
and children. 1t received medals and
diplomas at the Worlds Fair, is heartily
endorsed by the press throughout the
country, by athletic. Instructors. at Yale,
Princeton and other colleges, as well as
professional athletes generally. Prof.
Couden will cheerfully explain the merits
of the Exerciser to all who call at the

NORWAY.

Norway, Oct. 6-The corn packing sea
son at south Paris closed on Thursday of
last week. Ihe pack was much larger
and of better quality than anticipated,
being helped out by the mild SUNNY
weather and eighty acres int nded for
| the Norway shop. Some pieces were
slightly injured by early frosts, but not
to such an extent as reported.
Potatoes are now being harvested. The
crop is very light, many pieces not worth
digging. Late planting did best this
year. One piece planted July first has
a fine yield, neither affected by rust or
rot
Norway has voted to repair the old
shoe shop at an estimated cost of So, 600
to enable the company to enlarge their
business. Though the vote was two to
one, most OF the minority adjudged it
illegal and intend testing the matter in
the court.
The building, charging and repairing
OF dwellings continues unabated in an
Glclpatlon or an increase of business and
population. Tenements are crowded in
spite OF the numerous dwellings erected
during the past year.
But little is said concerning the new
electric railway since the departure of the
Italians, but the general opinion outside
OF the village is that matters will be fixed
up and the work go on early next spring.
The friends of the enterprise claim that
the first trouble was caused by meddlers
who were violently opposing the road for
| selfish reasons. If SO it will soon be made
apparent, SO we kindly ask that gener-
GUS public will not be hasty in forming
opinions, as there is much behind this
matter, not yet brought to light. Seven
teen miles Of road bed are graded in good
shape and the Inhabitants of the skirting
towns are very anxious. Much praise is
bestowed upon Wormell and Bassett by
the friends of the road, for their courage
and tact in rescuing those men from the
hands of their Infatuated captors, while
the enemies of the road, from a different
standpoint declare the act Illegal, as the
| men were in no imminent danger. 1t is
alleged that in quarrel between the two
factions of the Italians as to the manner
| in which the prisoners should be dis
posed of, two of their number were muir
dered, one with an ak, the other with a
shot gun and their bodies secreted in the
ad jacent forest.
GORHAM.
Gorham, October 6.-Information was
| received here last night from Washington
that Hon. Edward Harding had been ap-
pointed postmaster. The news spread
rapidly through the village and met with
general approval. Nearly all of Mr.
Harding's friends visited at his home and
extended to him hearty congratulations.
The present postmaster has conducted the
business of the post Office to the satisfao-
ton of the public but has had the emolu-
retires with the good will of all.
