A Badly Shattered House.
LIGHTNING DID MUCH DAMAGE Al
HOME OF A. MOVES.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Noyes have reason
to congratulate themselves that they are
alive and we'll, even though their home
was made useless to them for time.
During the shower of last Monday
afternoon, or rather, after the shower
was apparently past and the sun was out,
though few stray drops were falling,
lightning struck the house Of Mr.. Noyes,
on High Street, Just outside the South
Paris village limits, and badly wrecked
1t.
Mr.. and Mrs. Noyes were occupying
chairs In their sitting room only short
distance apart. One OF the holes torn In
the wall OF the house by the lightning
was just under the window by which
they were sitting, and not over two feet
from Mr.. Noyes' chair. Mrs. Noyes was
thrown from her chair by the shock and
slightly dazed, but Mr.. Noyes, although
his beard was singed and his face filed
with lime from the plastering, was not
badly affected.
Going into the kitchen Mr.. Noyes
found three fires going In closets. Fortu-
nately . tub full of water Was standing
under the caves Just outside the kitchen
door, and he was able to put the fires
out quickly.
The house WA q new one, into which
Mr.. and Mrs. Noyes moved only few
weeks ago. IL Is generally stated by
those who have seen IL that II Was more
badly damaged than any other they have
ever seen. The chimney Was shattered.
holes were torn through the walls In
nu mber Of places, stove funnel was MP
ped open, timbers we're shattered, plas-
tering and debris were spread over the
floors, and even some Of the concrete
blocks ip the foundation wall were brok-
en- and cracked.
Fortunately the stable, which 10 con.
uected with the house by . short rooted
walk, was not touched by the lightning
In u we're about two tons OF loose hay
The loss IL covered by insurance.

Tribute to Rev. Dr.. Bolster.
fNaabua. n. H.. TelerranhA


Few men In recent generations have
left q deeper impress upon the people oi
this city than did Rev. DR.. william b.
Bolster. For twelve years DR.. Bolster
occupied the pulpit Ut Pilgrim Congre.
gational church and during his term OF
service identified himself whole hearted.
~ and unreservedly with every move.
ment which had for IT, purpose the
moral and intellectual up-lift Of Nashua.
He upheld the traditions Of bis faith.
he Was broadly grounded in the human.
tiles; be Was recognized - ono Of the
most thorough students of Nashua pull.
pit platforms Of bis time. No less wa
he keen follower Of current events. BE
was valued asset to the city during biz
residence here.
DR.. Bolster was pastor whose parish
knew no bounds, ~ his scholarship
knew no limits. Endowed with . per-
sonality which sparkled magnetism, q
wit which scintillated with tho bril-.
liancy of q clear cut gem, but the shafts
of which never left . sting, he was .
power for good in every undertaking
which he took up, and his choice. a. a
representative of this section of the state
upon the various New Hampshire organi-
cations Of his denomination, proved the
high esteem In which he was held by his
brother clergyn.en.
Nashuans, whether of his church or
not, who have been privileged to grasp
the hand, or have been blessed with Q
benediction from bis lips, feel that . man
of God who loved them, and whose life
was passed In service for them and theirs,
has gone to his reward, q just reward, In
the life beyond.

UnIyersalist Grove Meeting.

About $50 were In attendance at the
Universalist grove meeting held at Dear
born Grove, Bryant's Pond, on Wednes-
day, Aug. IL. A party OF about twenty
i've came from South Paris, and less
numbers from Paris Hill, West Paris,
Norway, Bethel, West Sumner and other
places.
Rev. II. A. Marley Of Turner Center,
secretary Of the Oxford Association, was
iB charge Of the meeting. The organ
had been brought from the church to
the grove, and the Bryant's Pond choir
assisted In the singing.
Rev. G. A. Knickerbocker of Paris
Hill, who had been expected as one OF
the speakers, was unable to be present
on account Of the illness of Mrs. Knick-
erbocker. At the forenoon session there
were short talks by Rev. Asa NJ. Brad
Icy, the new superintendent of Univer-
salist churches for Maine, and Rev.
Chester Gore Miller of South Paris, and
Mr.. Markley set forth the work that the
Oxford Association is trying to do for
the encouragement Of the smaller par.
ishes in the association.
| A picnic dinner was eaten In the pleas.
ant grove. A picnic Is never quite true
to the traditions without shower, and
In this case the traditions we're not vic.
lated. Though the morning was fine,
the mutterings of thunder were increas
ingly evident during the forenoon meet
ing, and when the dinner hour came
quick work was done in preparing and
disposing of the lunch. The first drops
caused hasty clearing up and departure
for the church. There was drizzle oil
rain for some time, not enough to soak
in, but just enough to break up the out
door social hour and drive the Afternoon
service into the church.
At the afternoon session there were
well-considered addresses by Rev. Mr.
Miller on 1.-THE Problem Of the Country
Church." and by Rev. Mr.. Bradley OF
"Church Problems" Mr.. Bradley, who
is q stranger to most Of the OXFORD
County people, demonstrated bis ear
nestness and ability, and made good
impression with all the people.

Judoina tho Colt.

The Arabs have two methods OF esti
mating the height to which colt will
grow. the first being to stretch Il cord
from the nostril over the ears and
down along the neck and compare TIL.
measurement with that from the with
ers TO the feet nnd the other method
being to compare the distance between
the knee and the withers with thai
from the knee to the coronet. In the
first method II Is considered that q
colt will grow ne much taller as the
first measurement exceeds that OF the
second. and In the second method. II
the proportion Ia as two to one. the
horse will grow no taller.
