We have lust received a pleasant
letter and PAPERS from Mr.. c. F. Veasje
of our Maine COLONY in Colorado. calling
our attention to the very severe floods
and other calamities incident to the
great West this season. He remarks
that man has to live only about half az
many years there to get as much out of
life as he does in the East and that some
don't that long. Fortunately for the
Maine COLONY they are located at point
where calamities are not so popular and
have succeeded in getting along 80 far.
He also wants us to tell Farrand that he
has good associates there and has left
off all his bad habits except smoking
We are sorry to note that his son,
Perley, whom we were so well acquaint-
ed with while he resided here, is in poor
health on account of an attack of the
grippe which he had this spring. He
thinks, however, that he is improving
and will recover. Mrs. Wheeler, whose
health is also rather poorly, will leave,
this month for Maine.
Somerset Granpe cnnferred the third
and fourth degrees upon ten candidates

evening, after which fine baked bean
