Throughout the realms did angels ?ail And lore upon their faultless wings The joy (but Freedom only brings! The tyrant's thongs were torn in twain And hurled in wr-ah, and fierce disdain. The )H)wer that chained the helpless slave The pawer which helped the heartless knave Was smothered, burned in Fate's deep sea Hy one bright flash of Liberty.

Messrs Owenhy it white, accompa nied by Misses 1 osier, Pearl and Lou Payne, made the ascent of Mount Fan ny, last week, but on account of smoke could not command an extensive view from this elevated upot. Mrs. W. C. Starr, of Portland, and Miss Lulu IiadgHsky, of San Francisco, are spending a few weeks at James Payne's residence. They appreciate Cow as a fiummer resort, and are en joying their btay very much. The new cheese factory in the north ern part of town was raissd this week. The original plan has been considera bly -changed, making the building much larger and more convenient for the purpose of cheese making.

A large party of Cove ex cursionists will start on their way to join them, next Tuesday, Professors Powell and Smith, of As cension school and Leighton Acadenr arc in Pendleton, Weston and vicinity, this week, looking after school intTcsts.

Fanny, I will remain at home; horse flesh is too dear in this country. Prof, S, Trout in Gov creek small 1 Oh dear, length is no object. Mifcs It. Oh, I'm so afraid the wagon will turn over, I will hold to the top. Miss B. Keep quiet, if it does you can cling to the lowest part of a hush. B. O.

Thu amount of assessable property in Summcrvillc school district after deducting indebtedness within the SUite, is ijUOO.OOO. A levy of $J,00(Mo pay off the indebtedness of the district lias been made and the clerk is now prepared to receipt any parties desir ing to pay their assessment. James Gray iti attempting to unload a muster wheel for a threshing ma chine in front of E. B. Morelock's store, on Tuesday, had tho misfortune to drop the same and had three of his fingers almost severed, lie went into the drug store where Mr. S. L. Mc Kenzie promptly did all in his power to relieve the intense pain until a phy sician could be found. Prof. J. Aulguire, the phrenologist, is in Elgin the present week. His lec tures were all largely attended at this place and the hall on Saturday even ing was filled to overflowing, that be ing the occasion of his lecture on love, courtship and marriage.

Sunday, July 31, 1S87, Bes sie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. 0. Johnson" Tho funeral on Monday was largely attended. Bessie had just reached the age of womanhood and life seemed just entered upon when the sad message came. Still she was prepared to obey the Master's sum mons and did not hesitate when tho question "Are you afraid to die?" to say ''Ho, I am ready." Truly is it said that "Blessed are they who dio in tho Lord." She had been sick only a few da.w, but that dreadful scourge, diphtheria, had fastened its relentless hold upon her and all efforts of medi cal skill proved unavailing, CflANK. LECTUItEIt COMING.
