He formerly resided here and his l many old friends are glad to see him again. He was connected with the Bos- | ton fire department for thirty years. A number of years ago he was buried be- heath the falling walls of a burning | building and it was half an hour before

 | Rev. Alexander F. Irvine, pastor of l Pilgrim church, went to New York yes terday on business trip.
 The temperature early yesterday I morning was only 45 degrees. It is re- l ported that frosts made appearance in l towns near this district. The people were reminded that winter is not far
 off There was no complaint about run ming closed cars, and wraps and fall | overcoats were very welcome. There ! were few strange combinations of overcoats and straw hats, but the wear CTS did not care so long as they were 1 comfortable.
 l It has been suggested by some of the l owners of motor boats that it would be a good plan to wind up the yachting
 season in this vicinity with parade of launches on Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, There are some ten or twelve 1 launches on the river, and it is believed | that several owners outside of Fair Ha- ven would participate in the parade. | Those willing to take part should send ltheir names at once to the regatta com- | mittee.
 And on this occasion it would be an excellent opportunity for Levi Granniss, l jr., and John. Dwyer to row the race l that was talked of They won prizes in
 the recent regatta. On Saturday after
 noon at two o'clock the tide is high and l the conditions would be favorable for
 another regatta, or parade of launch l es.
 Edward R. Coogan and Francis Car roll letter carriers at Station A, have returned from their vacation. This
 winds up the vacation season at Sta | tion A.
