before coming into those of Nicholas
Narbonue. a sea captain in the East
India trade, to whom it was left by
an uncle in the early part of the last
century.
The captain died here, and SO did
his wife, who lived to the ripe age Of
50, passing away in 1890. They had
daughter Mary 4. Narbonne. who
was born in the house and lived in il
all her life. dying in it at the age Of
81, in 1905.
Miss Narbonne was well known in
Salem, chiefly for her aversion 10
meeting strangers. She was a great
reader and was content to live en-
tirely by herself. In fact she rarely
suffered anyone to remain long under
her roof, although she greeted callers
on their arrival at her door with state
ly courtesy.
One story told of her is that she re-
quired the few friends who came 10
take tea with her to fetch their own
teapots and cups, as she did not
care to have them use hers.
The house was well filed with old
furniture and curios. collected chiefly
by her father, and she was greatly an
noyed by collectors, for whom she en-
tertained a cordial contempt.
On Miss Narbonne's death the col
lection was taken away by her heirs.

Dolphin and FIyino Fish.

One day, recently, ship was lying
at anchor at Boca Grande, when the
crew observed dolphin chasing a
flying fish, both coming directly to-
ward the ship.
On nearing the vessel the flyer
arose in the air and passed over the
bow, just abaft the foremast. AS it
did so, the dolphin went under the
ship, and coming up en- the other side,
sprang from the water and caught the
flying fish on the fly," just as it was
curving gracefully down in its de-
scent to the water.-Punta Gorda

i have never written to the
DEMOCRAT. SENTINEL but thought /
would like to write a small sketch
pertaining to Old ST Hubbard. He
happened to take dinner with us
the other day. Oh, my, how he
can talk. You might as well try
to keep the earth from turning on
its axis as to try to talk, after he
gets started. If any one wants to
know now to load a shotgun, just
ask Old 81, for he knows how to
load it to shoot both ways, Old
ST always brings sunshine when he
comes around, and then he has to
have that circus umbrella to keep
the sun from injuring his beautiful
complexion or getting sunstroke-
you see he is very tender shrub.
Easter will soon be here, then Old
ST should be in this vicinity as it
is the only place in Hooking county
where the banty hens lay goose
eggs. wonder how many eggs he
can eat. He says he is II dyspep
tic but the reports from different
parts of the county has tendency
to disoredit this statement.
If any one wants to hear a good
temperance lecture call on ST, !
can't see why he don't get
broncho, then he wouldn't have to
walk so much. He claims broncho
riding is not good for man with
chronic stomach trouble. should
think he would get awfully tired.
He claims he enjoys the exercise,
it gives him an appetite, and ! do
believe he is partially telling the
truth, for l tell you that appetite
he carries with him is something
fierce, horrible, distressing.
Old ST seems to know everything.
There isn't a subject you happen to
touch but what he knows all about,
Every one should take the Demo
oRAr-SENTISEL II they want all the
news and be happy and contented.

be proud of If the young men de-
vote themselves to the talent which
they exercised that evening,

which consisted of ice cream and

membership of earnest and active
workers, who seem willing to do
their part 60 make il success,
and as Il League we are proud to
have so many young Christian
workers, and know from the work
they have already done that much
good will he accomplished in the
future.
