MISUNDERSTANDING Conventions appear
to be quite popular. Recently there has
been one held at Lyndon, and another at
Concord, w., under the leadership of Pro.
fessor Prouty, we believe. which were at
tended by large number of male and fe-
male singers, and by the public generally,
or by all who admire good vocal music.
We learn that Convention of this kind
is to be held at Cabot, commencing Mon
day evening, March I'd, and closing,
Wednesday eve, March 4th, with Grand
Vocal and Instrumental Concert, in which
the Cabot Brass Band, under the efficient
leadership of Mr.. L. H. Whittier, will par
ticipate-the vocal part under the leader
ship of Mr.. Leavitt. Admission to the
Concert 10 cents. By the way, we have
heard it imtimated that Musical Con-
vention is to be held at Danville, by and
by. We have some excellent musical tai
ent among our own residents, which, adj
ded to those who might attend from abroad
would make upa rich Concert.-NortA'

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,

There is being quite an exciting con-
test in this County for the office of County
Commissioner. There arc three candi-
dates in the field, viz: Alexander Riddle,
the present incumbent. Willard Fuller,
the present Town Agent for johnson, and
Calvin Whiting, also of johnson. The
two first named are working very indus
triously in their own behalf, while the
third is taking no active measures for his
own election,-all that is being done in
his behalf being simply what is done by
his friends,-or perhaps more definitely,
by the friends of temperance. The two
first, make no pretensious to any desire to
limit the sale of ardent spirits to be used
for purposes for which alone it may law
fully be sold. They are simply striving
to see who shall have the Office with its
honors. The third is temperance man
in principle and practice, and would en-
deavor to use his influence to conine the
sale of ardent spirit within legal bounds.
We shall vote for Calvin Whiting, be-
lieving that by SO doing we shall be vot-
ing for such measures as are best calcu-
lated to promote good order and good NOR
ais in community; and we advise all who
desire "the greatest good of the greatest
number" to do the same. If we have
law, let us live up to it,-that is Demo-
cratic. If the laws are not right, let us
have them made right If the people
make the laws, let the people see that they
are enforced. Let us have no boys play
about it, Let us be men, and stand up
manfully to what we have declared to be
our decree. Let us always be ready by our
votes, our example, and our money, to en-
force the laws of the land. Let every
voter come out on Tuesday next, and let
us know whether "Spunky Lamoille is
in favor of temperance" or RUM"

from the Maine Banner, which stated that
Truman Tenny, recently deceased in Nor
ristown, left by will sum of money to be
appropriated to procuring the services of a
Universalist minister to attend the funeral
Of his son, Truman Tenny Jr. Mr. Ten
ny Jr. informs us that this statement is
not true. The facts are something like
the following: At the death of Mr. Ten,
ny senior, he had paragraph inserted in
his will stating that in his wallet was
three dollars, which should be the proper
ty of his son Truman Tenny Jr on condi-
ton that he procured a Universalis. mir
lister to attend his, Mr. Tenny, Sen.,) flu.
neral. The minister was employed accor.
ding to the provision, but only $l,20 was
found in the wallet. Mr. Tenny Jr. is o
Methodist, as stated, and does not propose
to change faith till more fully convinced
of the errors of Methodism and of the
truths of Uniyersalism.
