Patriotic Service.

The patriotic service at Grace Metho-
dist church Sunday evening was very
interesting one. The music was appro-
pirate to the occasion by the church
choir, Miss Anna Somerville, soprano.
and Henry Hindles of New Zealand. The
address by Rev. 6. w. Hunt was on
"Our Country, Past, Present and
Future" Text: Psalms XLIV:3.
We have cause to boast, he said, on the
past achievements of our country. 1t
has taken an important and controlling
position among the nations, standing as
Liberty enlightening the world" The
mission to which it was called is evident
from the conduct of those who settled
our country. The civil war brought us
into just the work we have carried on
in the last war, that of helping Others.
Notwithstanding the cries of "Anti-Im-
perialists," have no fears Of the future
for have faith in the enlightenment and
integrity of the American people. Our
country has stood, stands today and
will stand upon three sources of strength
the open Bible, the schoolhouse, and
the Flag.
The members OF Chamberlin Post, No.
1,G. A. r., attended the service in body.

The Railroad Hearing.

The adjourned hearing on the Summer
vile bridge question will be held before
the railroad commissioners on Thursday.
A number of suggestions will be brought
before the board and several petitions.
One petition has been in circulation ask
ing for an underpass under the Lake
road tracks, with alterations to Bay
street and the widening of the present
underpass. This involves the dscon-
tinuance OF the Portland street crossing
and is practically the same scheme as
will be suggested by the Lake road. An
other petition, which has been largely
signed this week, is really asking the
board to order built viaduct similar to
the one provided in Lawyer Mont
gomery's resolution anil stating that the
present underpass is not desirable sub
stitute,

A Successful Opera.

The Frogs of Windham piped and
danced to good sized audiences last
Thursday and Friday evenings at the
Howe Opera House under the manage.
ment Of the author, Perry Leavitt, a
graduate of Yale, 93. Pretty, catchy
music ran throughout the opera, the tab
leaux were effective, and the dancing
pretty and graceful. The Crusaders
March is deserving of especial mention,
it being one of the finest things of its
kind ever presented here.
The Band boys have reason to con-
gratulate themselves on the success of
their entertainment and the $50 which
went into their treasury as result will
buy some very attractive uniforms.
The most amusing feature OF the pro-
gram was the ballet of the frogs" the
six little boys performing their parts
very well, particularly as their costumes
prevented them from seeing where we
were going to"

Drowning Accident.

Fred Drown of Sheffield, boy Of II,
was drowned in the Passumpsic river at
about one o'clock, Sunday afternoon.
With three companions, Fred and
Charles Bennett and Jerome Belview, the
boy was bathing on the meadow near
D. Q. Woodruf's residence. Two Of the
boys could swim, but the Drown boy
could barely keep up for a few strokes,
dog paw" He told the other boys he
was going to swim certain distance, or
drown in the attempt and plunged away
from the shallow place where they were
wading. No one realized his struggles
indicated that he was in danger until he
had gone down twice, as he was only
about 10 feet from the shore. The boys
then attempted to rescue him, but he
was so heavy, weighing 160 pounds,
and none of the boys were experts in the
water, that despite their most strenuous
efforts he sank the third time and re-
mained at the bottom in some six feet of
water. After a delay OF about Is min
utes, Adelbert Lockwood of st. Johns
bury Center came to the assistance Of
the boys and drew the body into boat.
A doctor was summoned and arrived
in half an hour, but all effort to resus-
citate were without avail, life being
extinct.
Fred Drown was in the employ of
Hiram Pierce, whose farm is near the
scene of the accident. He was an indus
trious, honest boy and favorite among
those who knew him.
Several fatal cases have occurred in
this spot within the last 20 years.
