Craig and Robert James, of Clay
Roland Hughes, was appointed Pest
dent, and w. e. Lyon, Secretary of
the meeting. The frs, thing of impor-
tance which was settled, was the deter

agant, nor to become involved in debt
by anticipating their means; TO COM
mence with PLAN, substantial buildings,
to be so planned as to be added TO as
necessity reqnired--and, in no event

mil,ee appointed and contracts adver.
tised. The site selected for the build
ing is the high emincnce East Of yet
within) the town corporation, and con-
,ains about five acres of ground. The
view from these grounds Of the sur
rounding country is one of the finest
that can be found, and, with the addi-
ton Of about 3 acres West, and ad.
joining, i. is as suitable site as, proba.
bly,, could be selected in, or near Lber-
". Tie Board made arrangement 10

gagements, made at Boonvlle, convey.

doubt not, at least $4,000. J. 4. V.

The VINO VICTORY IN MAssAcuu.
sETTs- The Boston Atlas thus sums up
the fruits of the victory achieved by
the Wings of Massachusetts on Monday
week:
A Wing Governor and Lieutenant.
Governor. .. .-.....
A.Whis House of Representatives by
al least 60 majori,y.
A Whig Senate. which will stand 27
Wing 10 l3 opposition.
A Wing gain in the popular vote,
over the Presidential vote, of 1900.
A Wing ma ajority TN joint ballot in
The Legislature.
A unanimous Whig Council
All this adds the Atlas, we have ac-
complished without effort. Had the
two opposition parties combined in all
the counties, the Wing candidate for
Governor would have been triumphant
ly elected by The people. As il is, he
lacks only about 1900 votes Of having
clear majority over both Of the oppos.
ing candidates. This will content US
for the present. The Administration
of General Taylor has been nobly sus.
tained. The State Administration of
Gov Briggs has been nobly sustained.
and so long as they pursue the high min
ded, honest, liberal and patriotic course
which they have hitherto pursued, the
intelligent voters of the old Pilgrim
State will stand around them like a .vaH
of fQdamant ....
