to him.
II am too busy" said Mr.. Dame. this
afternoon, to the correspondent of The
Spy, ito do the work demanded of an
assessor" Mr.. Dame is indeed a busy
man. He has a law practice that in
wolves the care of many trust funds,

waters. The man u succeed him is
not in sight.
A seemingly insignificant thing is
making much talk. The tower of the
new Congregational Church is sur
mounted at the corners by four copper
covered spires, terminating in golden
finals, after the fashion of a crown.
Somebody conceived me idea that the
handsome copper didn't match the
brick and succeeded IN impressing the
idea upon somebody in authority.
The result is that orders We're given
yesterday to paint the copper, and a
coat of white paint was actually ad-
ministered to one spire.
The town is divided into two parties
one advocating white paint for copper
finish, the other eXcaiming that it is
builders has an idea that honors will
eventually be divided. He says that
the paint won't stick to the copper
and that a little while after the scat
fold is taken down the paint will peel
off in places.
