In the latter part of June Rev Mr..
Digit crossed the ocean as a delegate
TO the worlds third Sunday school CON
Nentlon. He was gone nearly seven
weeks. and returned much benefited by
the trip. Rev. Mr.. Digit is a fluent
speaker, and he gave an account of the
social and intellectual life of the two
hundred delegates on board the steam
err. The Fourth of July celebration in
mid-ocean. the fire on board the ship
on the 9Th, 18th and Sth, and the re-
markable scenes of the day following
were depicted
In part, he said: Our first impress
sion of England is that of strength and
durability. Macaulay pictured a New
Zealander or Hottentot standing on a
broken arch of London bridge, looking
over a vast waste, inquiring where
London stood! but everything gives the
impression that wae. London is a
waste there will be no Hottentot or any
other tot to inquire where it stood.
England knows how to honor her SOL
disrs Trafalgar square is a perfect
university for patriotism
Through Warwick and Stratford one
sees rural England at it's best. The old
baronial castle at Warwick is the best
preserved of any in England and is to-
day magnificent residence. Kenil-
worth is vast ruin. If you can visit
but one place of rural England, do not
miss this. Climb to the top of an old
tower, recall its history, view its seen
cry and you will have picture in nina
that will ever be a joy.
The lake district of England is
charming. 1t has not the grandeur of
some of our own lakes and mountain
scenery, but for quiet beauty it cannot
be surpassed.
A ride on the Chari-a- Banc" from
Annbleslde through Rydal, Grasmere.
Thirlmere to Keswick, with a glimpse
into st. Johns Vale, is day never to
be forgotten.
No day of our trip perhaps was more
enjoyable than the one through the
TI'ossachs and lakes of Scotland. Edin-
burgh is an ideal city. When we are
banished from our native land we want
to spend the rest of life there
Mr. Digit spoke of Paris, the beau
tiful, giving word pictures of some of
its palaces and picture galleries. and
closed by saying that the thing which
had impressed him most and would re-
main longest on his mind was the gen
erosity and kindness Of a church which
had made this trip possible.

ROUND ABOUT TOWN.
Several base ball cranks in town
have signified their willingness to at
tend the game of ball in Spencer, Sat
urday. John Stafford will catch flies in
the field, while the champion Bostons1
will place against him his brother,
James Stafford.
The glad hand figured extensively
in town today. the reason being that
William F. Heron, the Southbridge
republican candidate, and Joseph p.
Love, the local nominee, of the demo-
Gratis, were pitted against each other,
getting votes today. The Southbridge
man got in good deal of judicious
work. while Mr.. Love secured several
pledged votes.
Road Commissioner Dugan had Main
street scraped today. The macadam
road was thus much benefited in APP
pearances, as also made passable for
those who wish to cross the street. but
1t was a needless expense, as cross
walks ought to be laid. When the Sc
