JAMES PILGRIM. WATCHMAKER AND OPTICIAN. ISLAND POND, VT. Opposite Station. TOWN TOPICS.

The HERALD Is not often so badly left by its correspondents as it is this week. The great Fourth comes but once a year. The canning factory is a busy place just now, the operatives working day and night getting in readiness for the approaching season. Mr. and Mrs.

Charles Hosford of Claremont, N. are here for their summer vacation, staying with the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. MoyeThe Sunday excursion season to Portland and the Islands was commenced last Sunday and will be continued each Sunday until September 10 inclusive.

Alter an illness of two weeks Thomas Farrell has entirely recovered from an attack of appendicitis, happily escaping all operation. Dr. Elie attended him. We had one of the heaviest rain storms Saturday and Sunday that we have experienced for a long time, accompanied by sharp thunder and lightning. The rain came down in torrents almost uninterruptedly for several hours but we hear of very little damage, save that the lightning killed a cow owned by L.

F. Currier, it being in the pasture, and bolt struck near J. Payeur's house, stunning the inmates for a few minutes. Thanks to the vigilance of John Gerrish, night watchman at the Fitzgerald Land Lumber mill. what might have been a serious fire was averted soon after 1 o'clock Saturday morning.

Some tarred paper ignited in one of the dry houses, but ere it had made any great headway it was discovered by the watchman and the alarm given. The firemen responded with great promptness but in the meanwhile the mill hose had practically quenched the flames. Friends here will be pleased to learn that Elmer J. Barney, who last week received his degree of Doctor of Medicine at the Vermont University, has secured a position as a private physician to a New York gentleman of means, but in poor health as to require the constant attention of a physician. For his services Dr.

Barney receives 8200 per month and expenses, and will travel quite considerably, perhaps go abroad this year. We rejoice with him in his good fortune at securing such a desirable and responsible position at the beginning of his professional career. Saturday afternoon a son of Ed Findlay went to Wenlock to visit his father in one of the lumber camps. Later he strolled off to fish and got lost in the woods. When night came and the lad had not returned a party started out and made as thorough a search as they could, without success.

Meantime the lad after much wandering arrived at a farm house, was taken in and cared for. Sunday morning he walked on the railroad track to Wenlock, and the news of his safety was sent here just when a crowd was about to leave to aid in the search, the Grand Trunk Company having very kindly offered free transportation to all willing to gO. The HERALD is sorry to report that after three years service as principal of our high school, Mr. S. Everett Marks has decided not to return to Island Pond and has sent to the school board his resignation.

Colebrook, N. offers him inducements and he feels that it greater is his duty to accept all advantages that come his way. He has been a faithful and eflicient principal during these He came here when the school years. work was anything but prosperous and his influence for good was immediately felt. All friction was removed, order instead of chaos prevailed, harmony was restored, and his work has been again and more appreciated each succeedmore ing term.

Not for many years has a principal so completely gained the good will of his pupils. The latter before the close of the term by a unanimous vote asked him to return. Pupils, parents the school board alike regret his and In writing to this paper he departure. have never left a place with says: such extreme regret as I experience at Island Pond, and to terminate leaving relations that have existed the pleasant myself on the one hand, and a between and loyal school board, a kind generous and charitable people, and considerate courteous, indulgent and affectionate pupils on the other hand."

George Worth is to assist in Jones' clothing store during the long vacation from school. Last Friday the different teachers the high school building were presented with tokens of goodwill and appreciation of their labors by their respective pupils. A large audience at the opera house Tuesday night for Hawkins," and found him and the piece most amusing, greeted throughout with great applause. Dr. Sargent has completed his post graduate course at Montreal and has returned to Island Pond to resume his practice.

Mrs. Sargent has also returned from Portland. The passenger traffic on the Grand Trunk through this port is assuming large proportions. Saturday the east express train was made up of bound eight coaches, four or five being the usual number. There were also eight coaches on Wednesday's west bound express.

An exceedingly pretty sight was seen Tuesday morning when a large hand some deer and two early fawns crossed Coffey's field and strolled right up to Mansur's lane on Derby street. They remained in the vicinity over an hour undisturbed by the crowds watching them, and then leisurely retraced their steps and gained the woods. At noon on the Fourth a lively and attractive programme of sports and races was carried out for the benefit of those remaining in town, including sack race, running race, wheelbarrow race. potato race, ball in the barrel, tug of war, money prizes being offered i in each contest, contributed by generous citizens. The afternoon's sports closed with a game of baseball between picked nines, selected by Frank Russell and W.

I. Kane. The game was a most esting one, resulting in a victory for Russell's nine, score 3 to 2, After the game several songs were sung. (a num- ber of our boys have remarkably good voices), and all in all the young people enjoyed themselves as keenly as if most elaborate programme had been prepared. School Entertainment.

The entertainment given at the opera house Friday evening, June 30, we are glad to say, was in every way a gratifying success. A large and enthusiastic audience was present. The flag drill under direction of Miss Patterson, assisted by Miss Steady was a pronounced success, and the gymnastics by the little people under the direction of Miss LeBourveau was indeed a revelation of what they could do. The musical numbers under the direction of Miss Webster, assisted by Mrs. O.

M. Carpenter, made a decided hit. The recitations Miss Thurston's direction were very good indeed, while the indian club drill under direction of Principal Marks was voted to be best ever." In fact children and teachers deserve the greatest credit for a most excellent performance. The address by Prof. C.

I. Spooner, President of Norwich University, upon the subject of Education, was a masterful and scholarly discourse that all present fully appreciated and enjoyed. Mr. Spooner spoke of the varying standards of Education and how varying standards of civilization had required men to master new arts, learn new trades and become proficient in new occupations. He called attention to the early Greeks, Hebrews and Romans, and knights of the middle ages, and demon.

strated how the popular opinion, government and environment of the people had influenced their lives and characters shaped the course of their educational development. He then in a clear and forceful manner stated the conditions existing today, and explained a simple but impressive manner (this part of his address was for the children) how and what should be done in order to meet. the educational standard required, how difficulties must be met and overcome, and at last success must inevitably crown their efforts if only each one did his part and did it well. We hope to have President Spooner with us again on other occasions. The medals offered by Mr.

A. Pomeroy for excellent, deportment were then awarded by Mr. Spooner, as follows: High school, room 1, Harold Foss, nice Smith; room 2, James Welsh and Daphne Hall; Grammar room, George Worth, Orma LaRoche; upper intermediate, Albert Lougee, Rosie Blake; lower intermediate, Willie Harris, Madelene Chaffee: primary, Carroll Findlay and Eleanor Bothwell. The winners of these medals are to be congratulated upon the successful attainment of the highest attributes of manhood and womanhood, perfect deportment. The closing feature was the presentation of a bible by PrinS.

E. Marks to Miss Geraldine Farr cipal: for perfect rank in spelling. It has been said that the average high school pupil cannot spell, but Miss Farr seems to at least one exception since she hasn't missed a single word during the entire year. Local Business Notices.

Mr. John A. Arthur, of Burlington, who will be remembered by a number of Island Pond people, died in that city last Friday evening, lacking two days of being 85 years old. He was in the customs service 43 years, resigning last September on account of failing health. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and one son.

The latter was rector of Christ Church from 1877 to 1881. We tender our respectful sympathy to the bereaved family. A large party of young friends, some sixty in all, assembled at the home of L. F. Currier Monday evening, greatly surprising Harold Currier, who that day had attained his majority.

The evening, or rather night, was pleasantly passed in games, and refreshments of ice cream, cake and lemonade were served. It was almost 1 o'clock Tuesday morning when. the merry guests departed, ing the young man on arriving at manhood, and leaving with him numerous, handsome souvenirs of the occasion. LUTHER H. SAWYER.

Mr. Luther I. Sawyer, a member of the Board of Selectmen, died at his home in Brighton Thursday, June 29, following an illness of four weeks with consumption and pneumonia. Funeral services were held at the M. E.

Church Sunday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. C. D. Lance. Deceased was 51 years of age, and is survived by his wife, son and daughter, and the sympathy of the community goes out to these sorrowing ones in their affliction.

By his death the town loses a citizen of sterling worth and integrity, a man true to his friends, and his family mourn the loss of one who was ever solicitous for their welfare and comfort, a devoted husband and father.

The garre Saturday, which promised to be a fizzle, turned out to be a very good five innings game, when it was called on account of rain. The burg team presented McConnell for twirler, and he held the locals in check, while Gildea had Lunenburg on the shelf, fanning nine in 5 innings, getting the hard hitting McConnell twice on strikes. Bishop was hurt in 1st innings and had to retire in favor of Lance, who caught a fine game, despite the fact that he was nearly crippled himself.

25c. EXPLANATION. The Editor of the have received a bill from Messrs. Dale Amey, and H. W.

Blake, for my share of the costs in the rate war vs. the Island Pond Water Co. amounting to 87.81. I understand that there are some of the sixty four responsible petitioners who do not fully understand the reason of this charge, and as you are always willing to belp clear up any misunderstandings whieh arise in our community, may I ask you to publish the following statement, provided you have the space at hand? In the first place I wish to say that the sum of 8500 does not seem to be unreasonable for the work that was done. And besides it does not make much difference to us who have to pay the bill how much we pay if it is ouly worth the price.

So far as I am concerned by reason of two houses in which am interested I really feel that up 1 to the present time by paying 87.81 I have made a pretty fair saving over and above what I should have been obliged to pay if there had been no protest. By the schedule against which we protested I should have been obliged to pay all annual charge for the house I occupy of $24.50 from January 1st, 1904, which up to the present time, practically a year and a half, would amount to 836.75. By the last schedule, which is probably what the commissioners will be obliged to use as a basis of their collections until the addition to the system is finished and new rates established, the rate will not exceed $16 annually, or 824 for the year and a half to the present time. This makes a saving of $12.75, or a net saving of 81.94 after paying the $7.81. my share of the costs of forcing the Water Co.

to reduce its rate to a reasonable figure. By the first schedule should have been obliged to pay for the other house in which I have an interest $23.30 annually, or $34.95 up to the present time. Deducting the $24 rental for a year and a half, which I expect to pay, I find a net saving here of $10.95, which added to the saving on the other house of $1.94, makes the snug little sum of $15.89 saved by protesting against a water rate which the Water Co. subsequently acknowledged to be unreasonable. I am perfectly satisfied with my share in the transaction, and if the others will examine the figures carefully I am quite sure they will discover a corresponding saving.
