DIR. ii. Wade, optician, is now at the
Stewart House and will remain until
Saturday August l6, where he eau be
consulted regarding defective eyesight
and will also attend to the proper fitting
of glasses. Eyes tested and examined
free. Consultation at any hour, day or
evening.
We wonder how many people, even
here in Island Pond, have any idea of
the daily number of transient arrivals at
this place Being curious as to this
matter we consulted the registers of the
Stewart House and The Lakeview, and
discovered that during the month of
June there were 929 guests registered at
these two hotels, while July showed an
increase, the number being 1905, for the
two months 1894. These do not include
passengers from trains taking meals,
nor regular boarders.
Will Carleton, who was heard with
such pleasure here last year, will again
appear in Island Pond Tuesday, August
20. He will give an entirely different
lecture from the one he gave on the for
mer occasion and will recite number
of his own poems. Mr.. Carleton is one
of the most popular speakers on the
platform and is everywhere greeted by
large audiences. lie is an orator of the
first rank, but the features of his lectures
is the recitation of his own poems. So.le
of these are pathetic in the extreme.
Others are so ludicrous that they con
yulse the audience with laughter, Those
who desire TO hear him will do well to
secure seats early.

Republican Rally.

The republican rally Wednesday
night was well attended, nearly every
seat in the hall being occupied, the la
dies in the majority. Frank ii. Archi-
bald and Senator Dillingham; were the
speakers, introduced by Col. Porter ii.
Dale. The former confined himself al
most exclusively to Mr.. Clements
charges of fraud and bribery against
the republicans, and produced counter
allidavits to show that those who live in
glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Senator Dillingham; devoted his atten-
ton almost entirely to the question OF
state finances, showing how the in
creased expenditure was caused and the
benefits the people had received there
from, and closed with a brief reference
to the work of the party in the history
of the nation, and urged republicans 10
stand by the party nominations, state,
county or town. Space this week will
permit of no extended notice. Previous
to the speaking there was music by the
newly organized band, which elected
favorable comment, and in the hall the
orchestra played several selections.

There was pleasant wedding at Capt.
Averill's Wednesday evening August 6,
when Rev. e. O. Gill joined in wedlock
Perley II. Howard and Myra May
Thornton, both of Barton. As the
weather was very rough they spent the
night at the Captains, and in the morn
ing the usual amount of rice was show
cred upon them when they took their
departure.
The Willoughby Lake House is full to
overlooking, and still the guests come.
The Gilman tavern is also full and they
are filling up the cottage near by.
Sunday there was the largest crowd
ever seen here on Sunday. All were
quiet and orderly. Such we are always
glad to have come at any time,
Rev. c. 0. Gill has received a call to
60 to Jericho to preach and report says
he will accept. If so Westmore's loss
will be Jericho's gain. Our town will
lose an estim able man and an estimable
family.

SMUGGI.EkS

st. Cyr batted terrifically, getting five
safe drives.
This was the first game of the season
in which Clough failed to secure hit.
Ground balls seemed to bother the
Smugglers' infeld.
The much talked of game between
the Merchants and Shirt Makers was
very close and interesting. 1t was char
acterized by heavy hitting on both sides
and spectacular fielding on the part of
the Merchants, especially at short. The
feature of the game was the daring base
running of fat Chapman of the Mer-
chants. The latter had by far the best
kickers. The final score was ii to ID.
These mines will again battle for suprem-
acy in the near future.
Mullgahoully came; he saw; he con-
quered.
The game next Saturday will be be-
tween the Cardinals and Shirt Makers
and for every score the Shirt Makers
secure they will receive $500. Come
and see an interesting game.

Letter to p. St. Pierre.
Island Pond, ".


Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails your grandfather, if he was "a
blacksmith, made 'em. You can't afford
to hammer them out by hand, when you
can buy as good, or better perhaps,
readymade to your hand, for a little
more than the cost of the iron.
What do you think of painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work that is
far better done than he can do it, done
by machinery, done as your horseshoes
and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He is wasting his chance in the world.
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint
and no better work than putting them
on. Good horseshoes well put on. It's
the putting them on that makes you a
blacksmith; no matter who makes em,
Who wants to 60 back to old times
and make his own horseshoes?
Between us two, that painter don't
know how to make good paint---he used
t.; but paint has run away from him.
Yours truly,
II +. w. DEvoE & Co.

Essex County Summer School.
The Living Plant


The last public lecture in connection
with the summer school was by Prof. l..
r. Jones of the University of Vermont,
his subject being "The Living Plant"
The address was primarily intended for
the teachers, but was instructive to all
alike. He emphasized the Importance
of nature study in the schools. He said
it tended to develop two fundamental
traits of character, viz kindness and
power. A sympathetic contact with ma
ture would make one more kind, not
only to all the lower powers OF life, but
to our fellow men as we'll At the same
time the solving of some of the prob
lens of nature that confront us daily
would give a consciousness of ones own
powers. In this regard, nature study
would produce the same result as the
study of mathematics. After dwelling
at some length upon these thoughts,
Prof. Jones went on to tell of some OF
the wonders of plant life, particularly
emphasizing the fact that the plant is a
Hring thing, that it is alive in the same
sense that animals are alive. lie called
attention to certain facts regarding the
growth of plants which showed that the
plant is very much alive. The address
was one that would be likely to make all
who heard it more thoughtful and observ-
ing as regards the wonders Of plant life
