congregation a card containing g NoN
Years greeting and a motto verse for the

We are in receipt of copy of book en-
titled ''Forced to the War;" written by I'D. |
w. Hildreth, publisher of the Express and
Standard. Mr.. Hildreth wrote the play, |
which was well received by the public,
and later decided to put it in print. The
plot is laid along the shores of Memphre
magog lake in Canada and Vermont, and
is very entertaining, holding the attention
of tho reader to the close. Mr.. Hildreth is
a bright, versatile writer, and as he is
familiar with the history of the state at
that time, his writings are very interest
ing.

money to him in full AS soon as he could,
Mr.. Leland with his wife took the train at
his station, stating that they were going
Down the line a short distance but to re-
urn that day, and since that time nothing
mas been heard from them. Several cred
tors have already put in their appearance,
Ill having claims on some of the personal
property which Mr.. Winslow has paid for,

mount. \ 1t is hoped that Leland will be
n the clutches of the law before the money
which he had with him is spent.
