In this locality Il Is very Pair week In spite
of the rain which was expected. bat didn't
como, save the little scud on Thursday morn.
Our types last week made us say that $50
were received at the Triumph Festival. II
should have read three hundred dollars.

An aged farmer wishes as to state that the
coming winter will be o severe one In this lat'-
tudc. The signs which he has observed for the
last forty years. and which he has never known
to fail, oil testify to the prediction.
The Hillsdale (Mich.) Democrat says that
Col. E. ]. March. formerly Of Saco. has been
appointed Asst. U. 8. Assessor at that place.
The Colonel is gallant fellow, and we are glad
his merits have been acknowledged by the Gov
eminent. He will make trustworthy and ef-
6cient officer. .i
II we failed to acknowledge the receipt Of
nice basket Of peaches from the garden OF our
friend James Higgins Of saco, we didn't fail to
bestow on them q generous care. They were
large and ripe, and would compare favorably
with any VIC have seen in the market this sea-
son. ..t. ..... -..... ......
The admirable manner in which Street Com.
missioner Moore fixed the sidewalk on Liberty
street, Zone side was already "Hxed y, has
stirred up the Laconia mills, and the walks on
Lacons street are on the mendins hand. Our
Saco neighbours are improving u little In the
same way.
Six young men Of Saco, started IN Agricul.
tural Ball on Wednesday evening, which (if We
may be pardoned for the expression) was "some
pumpkins" and therefore agricultural. OF
course these young men were all loving swains,
for married men generally have "bawls"
enough at home, to say nothing of the sgricul.
tural part.
A new halfmle trotting park has just been
completed out on the Kennebunk road +, n little
above the Five Points. We hope the race
course will improve that locality. There are
many men who would eagerly take $50 share
in such m enterprise, and yet consider SO paid
for home newspaper rs a prodigious waste Of
money! eve are all poor Critters" but some
are poorer than others.
Are VIC to have any Lectures this Winter!
In the two towns there ought to be enough to
appreciate the Lyceum, and consequently to
give It support. Notwithstanding so many
have tried their hand In engaging lecturers for
these places, and have always failed. we believe
o course, # properly managed, would pay OK
penses. II no one else will move in the matter,
perhaps the ladies will take hold 0f the subject,
the married ones being such capital 'lectur-
ers" themselves.
The lecture before the Feniaus Ia City Hall
last Friday evening, was quite well attended.
and was enthusiastically applauicl to the echo
whenever thrust was made at England and
rs the lecture was principally thrusts. the read

strative, n fact not showing much love for John
