With the first day Of January the
Paris Hin Water Co.. nominally and
formally began furnishing water to
customers, though In point Of fact more
or less water has been furnished, either
for general use at public tub, or to In
dividuals through service pipes, without
charge, since early In September. With
out this supply the water question would
hsve been serious one throughout the
fall, aud even now, though little water
has come into some Of the wells which
were dry, the problem OF getting daily
supply would be one which would have
TO be solved at much expense and In
convenience by most Of the people. The
pressure Il about 80 pounds TO the inch,
and the water Is abundant In supply,
pure and clear, and so soft In quality
that satin Is the only thing it can be
compared with by those who have used
Il for domestic purposes. No housewife
who has once used Ii viii 60 back to
water that is "hsrd" In any degree.
Some thirty services are now In, and q
number more will be put In as early as
practicable in the spring.
Among those who were aboard the U.
5. tug Resolute, which was sunk In Bos-
ton Hrbor last Wednesday evening by
collision with an ocean tug, were Capt.
Z. L. Brown Of the Seventh Artillery,
formerly Of this place, now stationed at
Fort wsrren. his daughter, and his
niece. Miss Brinckle. The Resolute
sank very quickly, and when she struck
eleven OF the party, including sill the
women, were thrown Into the water, but
fortunately all on board except one
member OF the crew'were rescued.
:. III. Rswson does, boot and shoe re-
pairing Of all kinds, and IL glad to get
work In that line.
The Baptist circle Friday evening was
fairly wei attended, and an excellent
supper was served. For entertainment

dozen OF belated brothers and sisters re-
lated In rhyme their reasons for being

prepared to live happily forever after be
fore they left the stage. A socisole fol-
lowed.

salist society OF this village will hold

Reuben X. Eastman died at the home
OF his father, II. B. Eastman, Thursday,
at the age OF 81. He had arrived only 3
few DAYS before, and WAS known TO be
IN poor health-perhaps In consumption
but the eud had not been looked for so
soon. Mr.. Eastman when boy entered
the Office Of the Oxford County Adver-
tiser at Norway 10 learn the printers
trade, and after completing his appren-
ticeship continued for some time In that
Office, and later worked In several other
places. For some time previous TO his
death he had been in job printing Office
In Boston. Some years since he united
with the Baptist church at Norway, and
the funeral Saturday afternoon was
attended BY Rev. Mr.. Roberts Of the
Baptist church in this place. Edward,
son OF the deceased, now about 5 years
OF age. has made his home at II. b.
Esstman's since the death Of his mother
some years since.
The Democrat has received the fol-
lowing from DIR. A. c. Hsmlin, presi-
dent OF the Mt. Mica Mining Company :
Editor Denocraf.
Asmany OF your readers are interested In the
work AZ Mt Mica, and would Ike 70 know what
progress has been made during the past year,
Will state for their Information, thA; although
mnch work has been done NJ the ledge, and .
large quantity OF rock has been removed, but
Hale OF any value has been found. and the oper.
alton may Dc classed IN unsuccessful one.
Ss,l we believe thai the coming year may yield
more OF the rare miuerals which have made OK.
ford County famous 81 over the world.
