A member of the Keene Sentinel staff.
who is usually calm over important mat
ters, recently got so excited in talking over
the political situation, that he rushed out
of the store where the conversation was

steed, before discovering that the animal
was firmly secured

and fancy goods store on Canal street to
Mrs. NJ. E. Wheeler of Chesterfield,
who is well and favorably known here

and has secured Miss NJ. E. Bslanger to
attend to the millinery. They are now in

A detailed account of the Hinsdale
Fourth-of-July celebration, the program of
he parade, the ball games, the hose races,
ETC., including DR.. Leonard's address on
the occasion, has been printed in PAM
phlst form and copies of the same can be
obtained at the store of W. o. Amidon,
clothiers, in Stebbins block. OF course the
festivities of the occasion are now fresh in
the memory of the participants, but %
years hence it will be a matter of interest
to look back to see how Hinsdale eelebrat-
ed the glorious Fourth on the threshold of
the goth century. A melancholy interest
attaches itself to this occasion from the
fact that it was the last public appearance
Of Charles j. Amidon, who always presided
at such times and entered into the spirit
of those merry markings with all the zest
and enthusiasm of a schoolboy. He took
special interest in ball games, and all forms
of innocent and healthful recreation, for
the young found in him an ardent advocate
and supporter.
Rev. L. NJ. Wilde, pastor of St. Joseph's
Catholic church, has been transferred to
the church at North Walpole He left
for his new labors this week. His people
were taken entirely by surprise on Sunday
when Father Wilde announced to them
that he should leave them during the week.
Much sorrow is felt in the society where he
has always been faithful friend and teach
er of his people, and not only in his own
church, but in every society and among
the townspeople generally much regret is
expressed that we are to lose so generous
, and public spirited a citizen as Father
l Wilde has ever proved himself to be. He
has been located in town for about 10 years,
and has made friends in all classes and So
cieties. That the change will be better for
him we all hope, as while here he has
charge Of the Ashuelot church, and is con-
stantly going from one church to the 9TH
er, while at Walpole he will have a larger
+ parish, but only one church, and will also
