Danville Items.

The last Star says that few days ago
Frank, son of John Palmer, met with a Sc
rous accident. He was at work on the road
near Mr. John Fishers, and while assisting
in moving large log, it accidentally slipped
and rolled on to his foot, breaking or Sc
verely fracturing the bone above the ankle.
FROM the same source we learn that
Danville enrolls 205 names for the draft
l2O in the first class, and So in the second
There are la soldiers in actual service from
that town.--B. f. Hayiand of Danyil lie,
sold splendid pair Of matched mares, for
the handsome sum of 500. They were
bought for Governor Gilmore, of New Hamp-
shire. They were of bay color, and FIVE
years old.--G. A. Burbank, ESQ.,, and
Aaron II. Smith, each have very fine pair
blacks. Good horses never brought so high
prices as at the present time, and they are
much sought after by fanciers who pay fabu-
lous prices for the very best.

LOCAL AND STATE ITEMS.
Brief Locals.

Brief Locals.
We make our bow to the proprietors of
the flute and guitar that made sweet music
near our domicil one quiet evening lately.
We are requested by the loser to say
that the person who took feather bed from
door ward on Main street can have the pill
lows by calling in person.
A train Of II cars loaded with rails for
the extension came up on Saturday. They
are grading for the depot grounds and build
ings at Newport.
We have in our sanctum fine bunch of
fully ripe tomatoes grown in the garden of
J. c. Bingham, Esq, of this village.
Our quiet slumber,-made sweet by hard
labor and clear conscience was suddenly
disturbed on Tuesday night along towards
the wee small hours by chorus of voices
that discoursed to US respecting the pleasures
of haymaking. We could have shown the
blis,ers upon our hands raised in that very
pastime. Nevertheless the sentiment was
good, the voices sweet, and the moon
magnificent.
Mr. Leavitt holds another musical enter
tainment at Lyndon Corner this week CON-
mencing on Thursday, and closing Saturday
evening with a concert. A good time is
anticipated.
We understand that Miss Dutton of the
intermediate school proposes to give an exhi-
bition with some of her scholars some eve
ming next week. There will be declarations,
dialogues, singing, tableaux, etc. From the
character of her former exhibition and
the success that attended it we expect
rich thing. 1t will be in the town hall, and
no doubt the whole town will be out to see
il.
The Soldiers Aid Society in Fairbanks
sillage will be held at Mr.. Spooner's, Thurs.
day. July9.
We made a mistake in the hour at which
the regular Soldiers Aid Society meets at
the Court House. 1t should have read half
past one every Tuesday afternoon.
The past week has been a good time for
farmers but tedious one for town people.
Daring the last four or five days the mercury
has stood as high as ninety degrees at noon.
Wednesday at midnight at eighty; at :
o'clock Thursday morning at seventy-six,

Of it makes the Precipitation stand in drops

SerenaderS Surprised.

4 newly married couple in Waterford were
honored with serenade one night recently.
The happy bridegroom invited the company
into the house and after furnishing them
with refreshments, said he had favor to ask
lpon their expressing willingness to serve
him IN any way, he took bible and selecting
chapter requested each one to read verse.
ne request somewhat surprised our serena
ders' Tor reading the scriptures was not
on the programme for that evening. How
ever they read the verses with becoming
gravity, but were taken all aback when he
asked them to join with him in prayer! If
this good example was followed generally we
think there would be fewe, serenades.
