With his features all drawn and distorted;
A glsnce of concern at each pool that he meets
And rejecting emotions unsorted,

In his eve quite presaging blubber,
You can make up your mind you have lit on thu
That's beset with hole in his rubber"

Singing gaily on his log?
Would you hear the bees humming,
And the blue.tailed fly cumming?
Wait patiently a month or more,
Till wintry blasts and storms are DER"

Fryeburg.

Charles Lewis of East Conway, n. H.,
died at about 9 80 o'clock A. NJ. on We'd
nesday, Mar. 10th. The immediate cause
of his death was weakness of the heart in
duced by pneumonia, of which latter dis
ease he had been i'll five days. Mr.. Lewis
was held in high esteem in his various
relations of husband, father, neigh6or
and friend, and he will be sadly missed
by large circle. He was one of Con-
ways best-known and most highly re-
spected citizens, and his death casts a
pail of sadness over the entire commu-
nifty. The funeral, which was in charge
of undertaken Herbert A. Hodsdon of
this town, was held at the late residence
of the deceased Saturday afternoon,
March 10, at 2 o'clock, large number of
relatives, neighbors and other friends
being in attendance. Rev. Baman n.
Stone of this town otficated as clergy
man, and paid fitting tribute to the up
right, exemplary life and character of
the deceased. The casket was profuse-
ly adorned with floral offerings which
loving hands had contributed as tokens
of that esteem in which the deceased
was held. Bradley B. Woodward, FL
den E. Shirley, Henry Andrews and
Dean A. Ballard acted as bearers. In
terment was in the family lot in the
cemetery at West Fryeburg. The de-
ceased was born on October 20, 1881,
and during his entire life he lived in
the same house in which he was born.
He was the second oldest of the six
children of Jacob and A bigail (Coolbroth)
Lewis, the surviving ones of the six be-
ing Alonzo f. Lewis of this town, Mrs.
Samuel Wilson Colbroth of Santa Rosa,
Cal, and Calvin W. Lewis of Dunstable,
Mass. The deceased was veteran of
the Civil War, in which he served as a
member of Company F of the 30th
Maine Regiment. A portion of his SER
vice in the army was in Louisiana, the
climate of which was so hard for North
ern soldiers to Withstand, and as a result
of his military service his constitution,
though naturally robust, was so impair
ed that he never fully regained his for
mer health and strength. On January a.,
1869, he married Shuah Walker Earring
ton of West Fryeburg, by whom he had
two sons, Chester Wilson Lewis and
Walter Harrington Lewis, who, with
their now widowed mother, survive to
mourn his loss. In politics Mr.. Lewis
was an ardent Republican. OF his two
surviving brothers, Calvin was present
at the funeral, but Alonzo, who is spend
ing the winter in Washington, was un-
able to be present. Calvin left Dun
stable for East Conway as soon as he
heard of his brothers illness, which was
by letter he received at about 10 o'clock
in the forenoon of the day on which his
brother died, and, when. on Thursday,
he reached Fryeburg on his way to East
Conway, he first learned that his brother
had passed away.

| across the whole width of the building
| go feet), with four rooms, each seating
90 scholars, with fairly large recitation
room in the second story. 1t is evident
