NEWBURY.
Darling-Chamberlin.

A very pretty wedding took place in
the Congregational church Saturday,
June LIST. at noon, when Richard F. OAR
ling was married to Miss Elizabeth
Chamberlin. The church was tastefully
decorated and large audience gathered
to witness the ceremony. The groom,
who fitted for college at st. Johnsbury
Academy, is a graduate of Vermont Uni.
versity, and the bride is a daughter of
Joseph Edgar Chamberlin, city editor Of
the New York Evening Mail, who was
long connected with the Youths Com
panion, and was widely known as "The
Listener" of the Evening Transcript.
The young couple will reside here. The
marriage was solemnized by Rev. Henry
Kilbourn, late of Bradford, it being his
last official act in this state, as he de-
parted for his new field of labor at Ever
EFT, Mass, directly after the ceremony.

school teachers, the young women who
were to become wives and mothers, the
young men who were to become the vii
lage merchants and town officers.
At these was given training of pecu-
liar value. 1t was not extended and
no attempt at encyclopedia knowledge
was made, but it was thorough. The
emphasis of the whole institution was
upon scholarship, and religious
character. Revivals were frequent. The
whole atmosphere was charged with
seriousness.
Whether the public high school which
has practically supplanted these fills their
place as agencies for the promotion of
scholarship and spiritual development
is, to my mind, at least debatable
question. A recent college graduate is
quoted as saying that "the grading of
the college world runs at present about
as follows: (D wealth; ~ athletics; (3)
scholarship" With reference to the item
of wealth this is probably exaggerated,
but with this qualification it would
apply to the average high school. The
old academic emphasis upon the things
of the mind has been appreciably
weakened. However this may be, the
truth remains that through the old
academy the denomination rendered
most valuable service to the common
wealth..
1t has also been the friend of the popu-
lar education and the general diffusion
of knowledge. The little red school
house has never had stauncher friend
than Congregationalisrn.
3. Congregationalism has done much
for temperance, both in it's extreme form
of total abstinence and in the form of
moderation by selfcontrol. By preach
ing, by the practice of its clergy and the
great majority Of it's laity, by its atti-
tude towards legislation and the enforce
ment of restriction or prohibitive meas
ures, by its whole influence in the matter
of conduct, Congregationalism has been
and is an effective force making for So
briefly.
1t is true that present standards have
not always obtained. In the records of
our ministerial associations will be
found minutes of animated discussions
as to whether to continue or discontinue
the use of Intoxicating beverages at reg
ular meetings In one case the agitation
resulted in a compromise to use hard
cider only. This only shows, however,
that Congregationalism has been pro-
gressive,-a fundamental characteristic.

PRINTERS CROSS BATS.

The CALIFORNIAN office base ball team
went to Bradford Saturday noon where
they crossed bats with the nine from the
Opinion office. The game was very
interesting one and for the first three or
four innings was very close, but after
that the CALIFORNIAN boys drew away
from their opponents and won by the
score Ollie to s. The features of the
game was difficult one-handed catch by
Lynch and the gilt-edge fielding by E.
Phillips Both batteries did good work
but the CALIFORNIAN battery received the
better support. Too much cannot be
said of the hospitality accorded the
CALIFORNIAN boys and arrangements
will soon be made for return game, at
which time they hope to return the
compliment and give the Opinion office
boys right royal time. After the game
a, complimentary supper was rendered

TWO BASE BALL VICTORIES.

In the best game which Littleton has
seen for three years the Academy nine
defeated the High School boys there
Saturday by "a score of three to two,
but it took ten innings to do the trick.
The game abounded in double plays and
freedom from errors, while Coburn, the
Harvard twirler, gave special praise to
both pitchers.
In the first inning Spaulding and
Lynch both struck out, and Moore was
out on fly. The Littletons got man
on first, but Farman quickly cut him
out at second and the next two batters
struck out.
Barrett opened the second inning with
an easy grounder to third, and Farman
and Brewer struck out. The Littleton
boys opened the game by base hit by
Gonyer, who came home by sacrifice
hit by Tilton, and base hit by Prescott.
In the third inning neither side scored,
and in the fourth inning Spaulding got
as far as third base by clever running,
only to be left there as Hill and Moore
struck out and Barrett was out on a
grounder. In this inning Pitcher Pratt
distinguished himself by striking three
Littleton men out in succession.
Up to the eighth inning there was
nothing doing, though it looked exciting
in the last half of the seventh, when with
three men on bases and only one out
Pratt forced the next two batters to hit
easy grounders.
Pratt opened the eighth with pretty
single over second, stole the next base,
reached third on sacrifice hit by
Spaulding, and tied the score on fast
ball. Littleton failed to score,
In the ninth inning both sides went
out to the tune. of one, two, three, and
the excitement was intense.
There was something doing in the
tenth inning, and with two men out it
looked dubious for the Academy boys.
Robinson got first on a pass and stole
second, Heath advanced him base by a
hot liner, and when Pratt was at the
bat the catcher had fast ball, which
brought Robinson home and left Heath
at third Taking heavy chances away
from his base. Heath ran home when the
pitcher sent the next ball, which bounded
from the catcher's hands into the dia-
mond. 1t was close call at the plate,
but proved to be the winning run. Til
ton made the only run for Littleton and
the Academy nine won their best game
of the year by the score of three to two.
Aside from the pitchers Hill played a
fast game at short, cutting off four
which would have gone as hits. Farman
hal1 fhQ hot
one passed ball, and catching three men
on second. Spaulding played a fast
game on first, picking up several hard,
low ones. All the other men played a
fast game. in fact there were but three
errors. For L. H. S., Hartman put up a
good game on first, Gonyer did we'll be-
hind the bat, Prescott played fast game
at short, and Strain was good on fys in

A Fatal Accident.

A sad accident occurred at Jersey Hill
Creamery, Thursday about IL a. m.
Carl Nelson had large amount OF but
ter on the worker and as the belt was
liable to slip off the pulley, Edwin Coch-
ran, his assistant, got on the churn to
keep it on. While Nelson was sailing
the butter Edwin began walking on the
churn pulley, at the same time pulling
the belt to run the churn. By some
means he moved the churn belt from the
loose to the tight pulley starting the
churn and throwing him violently to the
floor and drawing him under the churn,
bruising him somewhat and breaking
his neck, causing instant death. His
mother, Mrs. Everett Carbee ofNewbury,
was sent for and had the body removed
to her home, where the funeral was held
Saturday afternoon, Rev. ]. A. McKira-
han officiating. The attendance was
large and the floral offerings beautiful,
testifying to the esteem in which he was
held. Mr.. Cochran was born in the
north part of the state 10 years ago and
while quite young was left without a
father, consequently for several years
has worked out and cared for himself
About five years ago he came to Rye
gate and has worked at several places,
always giving satisfaction and COM
handing the respect of everyone. He
was young man Of many good traits
and unusually free from bad habits. His
mother and little brother have the SYM
pathy of the entire community in this
