Rev. w. G. johnson, who preached
so acceptable in this church three
weeks ago in exchange with Rev. Mr..
White, will preach here at 1.30 p. M.
the second and fourth Sundays of each
month for the coming year, and the
first and third Sundays at the town
house as was formerly the custom. Mr..
Johnson was born in Bradford; he is an
earnest convincing speaker. AS one
who has heard him remarked, He will
preach Christ"
Your correspondent is not called a
distinguished eulOgist, owing to the
fact that when a person dies we prefer
to let his life speak for him, knowing
that if his good qualities -predominates
his nelghbOrs will know it, and if the
bad qualities are more CONSPICUOUS they
also know it; but when it comes to
stating facts we consider Ourselver per-
feCtly competent. Now if any city,
town or country can produce a case
parallel to the fact we are about to re-
late let us hear from them. A gentle
man mas EGCeUUly bdkGn W lllLllHCll Il
young wife, registering his age at the
town clerks office as ~. He enlisted at
the beginingsof the civil war, and is one
of Uncle Sans pensioners. As the
war commenced in 1861, this man was
four years old at the time he enlisted
Or if he enlisted at the close or near
the close of the war he would have
been eight years cid. Our only regret
is that we cannot claim this indYidu al
as having his birth place in West New
bury. We often hear of infant prodi-
gies but this four year old veteran beats
the record. 1t is more wonderful than
Dudley's ride or the drummer's fox
story, both of which were perfectly
authentic. A person adds, West New
bury is bound to be ahead even if we
have to import stock to do it with, as
in the case of the youngest veteran of
our civil wOr."

LINES ON THE DEATH OF MRS. JENKINS.
Oh mother! how we miss thee,
No mortal tongue can tell,
Our hearts are filled with longing,
For the one we love so well.
Our eyes grow dim with bitter tears,
| When we glance around the place,
And spy the chair where you always sat,
Which no other can ever grace.
We miss thee sadly around the hearth,
When the day draws to close,
And the family circle is broken,
Ills then that our anguish flows.
Oh, our poor old father sits weeping,
For the companion of forty long years,
Do in great mercy look down from above,
And comfort his lingering years.
From your home in the skies angel mother
Smile on the loved ones below,
And send thy holy blessing
TO us in our bitter woe.
Guide us till life is ended,
And help us as we go,
To live as you would have us live,
If you were here below.
We hope some day to meet thee,
On that bright and shining shore,

4 strike has been made at Cape Lc-k <, 120 miles west of Nome City. The surface prospects show better than they did at Nome. A Laplander came to Nome fror-l the new diggings with SS.CJ0 ia dust which he had taken out with gold pan. The beach at Cape York is said to be equally as rich as that at Nome
 It was also reported that gold had been discovered on the Siberian coast close to Behring strait.
 The Cape Nome diggings were struck last fall a year ago by some reindeer herders who were Laplanders, brought over by the government to look after 800 reindeer that were imported as an experiment. Some of them in going from Port Clarence to GoIofin bay crossed directly over this country and found the first gold at the base of An vii mountain. so named from a rock shaped like an anvil that crowns it's summit. At that time the five Laps who found it took out s1, 800 in five days and brought the gold into St. Michael.
 Of course the excitement spread inn mediately and the rush commenced.
 St. Michael is the point on the coast where lHe tIdllSLel IS H-oue lO NeSSelS going up the Yukon, and nearby the Snake and Nome rivers come in, four miles apart. Nome City is at the mouth Of Snake river and gold was first found on the beach at this point, about the middle of last July, when two men with d rocker took out in six days $492.6O, following up the next week with a cleanup of $449.
 MT. Hubbard will return to Prescott after his eastern visit to attend to min ing properties he owns in this vicinity, but says he will be sure to start for Cape Nome by the first of May.
