application to the County Court for
permission to erect 1t in the court

timidity and nervousness of the
magistrates in granting the request.

EIlsworth's Associated Charities.

Within the next two weeks a commit
tee, chosen for the purpose, will 60 among
the citizens soliciting membership for
the society of Associated Charities, which
was founded in Ellsworth last winter.
The society has been carefully organized,
the constitution having been adopted
from those of similar organizations OF
long standing in Bangor, and In Orange,
N. j.
mayor and the overseers of the poor are
honorary members Of the society, so that
the benevolent work will be conducted
with reference to the relief rendered
officially to the poor OF the city. 1t
is the intention to help only those who
are not eligible to such aid.
1t is believed by the executive COM
mittee of the Associated Charities that If
the money, clothing and food which are
given in charity every year were dis
tributed through the one channel OF a
well-conducted benevolent society, the
poor OF our city could be comfortably
cared for.
The annual membership fee is 81, and
the life membership fee SO. 1t is the
hopes OF the society to have such a large
membership that with the dues and vol
untary contributions, the expenses will
be met without recourse to entertain
ment.
The officers for the ensuing year will be
elected at the regular meeting on the
first Monday in October. All persons
whose names are on the books before
that date will have voice In the election
OF officers and the plans of WORK. For
this reason, aud also because It is very
desirable TO know when the work begins
what the financial resources are to be, it
Is hoped that all persons who intend to
become members will do SO before the
first Of October.
The only condition of membership Is
the payment OF the fee, and any person
who is not seen by the soliciting commit
tee can become member by leaving his
or her name and fee with the treasurer,
Samuel l.. Lord, or with the secretary,
Miss NJ. A. Greedy.

Joane, and several children, and settled in
that part of Salem which is now Wenham
He remained there until 1868, when, with
his family he moved to Lancaster, being
there when the town received its name.
Mr.. Whites daughter, Mrs. Mary Row
landson, was captured by the Indians in
1876, and later was ransomed through the
efforts of John Hoar, OF Concord, an an
cester Of Hon. George F. Hear, of Wor-
cester, who has bought the land upon
which stands Redemption rock, where
John Hoar feasted the Indians before he
made terms with them for Mrs. Rowland
sons liberty. This rock is in Princeton
about twelve miles from Lancaster, and il
was voted to hold the next annual reunion
of the association in that town.
