a mile south of this site DR.. James White
of Boston is building a large cottage only a
few rods from the shore. Both these cot

years, are in dense forest. The builders
are always careful not to cut more trees
than is absolutely necessary On the eastern
shore, nearly a mile north of the Inn, II. j.

Sunday morning, Oct. Goth, Mr.. c. B. W.
Savage, to the great enjoyment of the peo-
pie, sang two solos, playing his own accom-
| paniments. At the close of the service he
again stepped to the organ by request and
played and sang quite number of choice
selections. The congregation, that had in
the meantime partly dispersed, gathered
again and seemed unwilling to leave the
house while such rare treat could be en-
joyed. At the evening service he again
very kindly consented to favor the audience
with his gifts and sang nearly dozen Sc
lections AS in the morning he again added
to the pleasure of the people after the meet
ing had been dismissed. Mr.. Savage
possesses naturally rare musical talent,
which he has cultivated for years under
the guidance Of competent instructors in
Berlin and Paris.
