-GOLD Is PLYNoUTn. Within the
last week, gold has been washed from slnd
Of n stream in Plymouth. and the yield of
the wlshings has been so considerable as
to render it probable that profitable bus
mess may be made ont OF it. Mr.. Oliver

- grand Musical Convention was
held at st. Albans, lately, continuing three
days. There was plenty of good sing.
ing, and good talking aud all enjoyed the
exercises mlryelou.ly. NJ. Lowell Mason,
Mr.. kriesman, Mr.. BabcCcl, and Mss
Doane were present and contributed their
share to the entertainment. A resolution
was passed recommending the use Of con.
gregaiIona singing in public worship.
-THE STATE FAlR.-There were
some of the characteristics of the recent
Fair in Bralllcboro, that deserve something
more than passing notice.
The first was the absence of drunken
rows or rowdyism. We did not see one
drunken man during the Fair, and we have
not heard of one. Neither did we see or
hear any OF the rowdyism generally found
on such occasions. 1t was a new and quail
flying feature in State Fairs, and we de.
sire to point attention to the causes which
enforcement of the Maine Liquor Law,
drunkenness was constant attendant of
these FAIRS, and it is a fair and logical
conclusion that 'he change was owing 10
the adoption of this law. If this be true,
ought it not to satisfy the opposer of that
law Of its beneficial effect. We think no
/ good citizen Gun condemn n law produc.
tive OF such good resuls.-St1iesman.
The editor Of the Cdicionidn who
attended the Fair, in commenting on the
above, says;-
Good order and general decorum have
/ characterized our people on all occasions
like this since the Tree sale of liquor has
been checked by tho operation Of the X
isiing temperance law. All who have
been witnesses at such times have noticed
the change, and the solutory effects of The
law, IN the absence of rowjyism aud beast
illness in general. The law does good
II blessing to the people. The good
thd it does so far outweighs all real or
imaginary evils attending its execution as
10 commend it TO all Of our people.
