Rev. F. NJ. wIswalI Resigns.

Putney people will learn with sincere
regret that the physical condition of Rev.
F. NJ. Wiswall compels him to resign as
pastor of the Congregational church. Mr..
Wiswall will preach his farewell sermon
next Sunday. He has been suffering from
a physical disability for some time, al
though it has been unknown to most peo-
pie and he has attended to his regular iu-
ties with much exertion. He accepted a
call from this church in February, 1896,
and came here from his home in Marlboro,
n. H., to succeed Rev. E. P. Seymour. He
is well liked in his parish and throughout
the town, and although his plans for the
future are not known his departure from
town will be regarded as an unfortunate
circumstance. Mr.. Wiswall is graduate
of Dartmouth college and of the Hartford,
Conn, Theological seminary.

The HInsdaIe Bands First Concert.

The Hinsdale brass band gave its first
concert and ball at the town hall Tuesday
evening and it was a pronounced success.
The band has shown marked improvement
the past month and the large crowd pres
ent at the concert showed their apprecia-
ton. The concert ended at S:45 and at 8
o'clock the grand march began with Vic
tor Cote and Miss Mamie White as leaders,
followed by about 40 couples. Louis Fitz-
gerald, the leader of the band, was the
prompter, and the music for dancing was
way ahead of expectations. Their excel
lent time in the round dances has not been
equaled here by any of the high-prlced or
chestras of late. The band is composed
of 10 men who have been practicing to-
gether for the past nine months, and the
boys feel stimulated to renewed efforts by
the substantial support given them, the af-
fair netting about $50,

Sunday School Convention.

The Jackson township Sunday school
convention was held in Crockcr's grove
last Sunday While the day was excess
lively warm, the grove was shady and
cool most of the dav.
The exercises of the day were quite i'll
teresting. The discussion of the war
question, in CONGESTION with religion,
was, to the writer, somewhat amusing.
The music was excellent, there being
some good voices and an accomplished
organist But, the most interesting part
of the program, in our opinion, was the
Rotations by Misses Stella Chandler
Nellie McMurray, Kitty Crocker ana
Blanch Wycoff, who certainly have much
talent as speakers The day was well

From the KANSAS AGITAToR, published

lanes l.. Wagstali a former uhrichsvillc
boy, whose death occurred at that place
July 2 He was son of Captain Viii
liam Wagstatl, who conducted a grocery
where the postoficc now stands. Since
their removal to Kansas, James gained
considerable prominence, and has been at
the head of the large Wagstaff clothing
establishment since the death of Captain
Wagstat1. which occurred several years
ago. James was prominently identified
with Masonry, and twice served AZ
MAYOR of Garrett. The deceased visited
Uhrichsvillc Il few months ago, and met
but few people he knew, among them
being w. W. Keepers and the writer.
The old homestead had been RACED and
replaced BY the McCluskey home, and all
had been so changed from the village of
his boyhood that he remained but a few
hours, and took up his journey toward
the setting sun. And yet, there are a
number here, his schoolmatcs, who re-
member him only in kindness. and regret
to learn of his death in the Western
home. His age was IS years

they cannot afford an education. In

Great work on the B. & 0.

The divisions of the. Baltimore &
Ohio railroad west of the Ohio river
are to receive the same sort OF inn
provements that have been made on
the lines east of the Ohio. Not only
areIthe grades to be reduced wher-
ever it is practicable; but very much
heavier motive power is to be intro
duced. In order to carry the adj
ditiopal weight the bridges on all
the divisions are being replaced with
heavier structures and the track re-
laid with heavier steel rail. It is
the hope OF the receivers that within
the next two years the Baltimore 4
Ohio railroad will be an eighteen
foot grade road from Chicago to
Baltimore, with the exception of
that portion Of it which passes over
the mountains where helping engines
will have to be used. It is under
stood that the policy of rehabilita.
ton adopted by the receivers two
years ago, will be continued by the
new company after the reorganiza-
ton.
