proper mode Of supporting the town poor, after the
present contract shaIl EXPIRE n accordance with the
Recommendation Of The committee appointed at the

Of MesSrs. William Beebe, Morris Woodruff, and Ste
Phen Russell, TO purchase ~taFm, expense not
exceeding $4,000, on which are to be erected suitable
buildings for the accommodation and comfort Of the

ofei.iOg out the poor the loves, bidder abolished
The plan proposed to be adopted has been tried for
several years in places in this state with manifest
advantage to the town; bat whether it will succeed
here is matter which time Of course alone will test.
Foreign NesUs.-The news from abroad this week
il Of uncommon inierest-and have given therefore
pretty copious details. We are much gralifed TO
learn 1--WE quote from the N. Y Daily Advertiser that
Captain Ross had returned in safety from his northern
expedition. He sailed in May, 1929, and for long
time past has been given up lest. So great the
public interest in the fate Of this intrepid navigator
cha, the expedition Of Capt Back overland under
living, or had persisted in the frozen regions Of the
North is resolved tLa, dispatches will be forward
ed tn recall Capt. Back, az the great ohjectof his
,erprise is end. In the winter Of 1S3O3l, Capt
Ross experienced the severest ever recorded,
che lowest temperature being 90 degrees below feez
ing point 1t is very remarkable that only three
died during the VOYAGE two Of whom had constitutions
anti for the climate. We should have thought i,

could bear such climate the party encountered.
..Tn the course Of the expeditions Capt. Ross met
vsh tribe Of Indians, who did not appear ever to
have seen white men before. They we're mild, in
offensive race living in harmony with each other and
treating their children with the utmost tenderness and
afsctios.'

In our last weeks paper we gave place toa CON-
muuica,ion, giving some ideas respecting a new ma
chne said to be about to be put in operation. We
then remarked that we knew nothing about it
than disclosed in the communication. And in
swer to /" Workie" we have the same remark to make
but probably, if the machine succeeds according to
the expectations of the inventor il will be exhibited
far the inspection Of all who wish see it. We pre-
sumo patent has yet been obtained.
