MANCHESTER, MONDAY NIGHT

Happily for the cause Of civilization and
progress, our old Board of Trustees have
gone TO the grave. In reviewing its official
career, it is a peculiar comfort that we are
entirely free from all diSagrccable debts of
gratitude, and will not be burdened in the
least with the memory of its virtues. As
it is not noble to assail the dead, | will
now drop the white rose of e arity on the
tomb of the "Invisiblc Fat, $" and bid
them hearty, if not sad, farewell.
The new Board, wreathcd with the chap
lets of popular favor, and with the banner
of "rctorm " waving III grand triumph
above it, is now upon the stage. | warmly
congratulate these gentlemen upon the
singular unanimity with which they were
chosen for their present position. 1t is to
be hoped that they are not so unduly
clated by their recent honors rs To be inca
pabc of listening to sound advice.
|. First of all, there is work of mercytor
the new Board to perform. Some of our best
citizens are SO cut with grief at the death
of the " Invisibles" that they wecpingly
declare that they can never remain here.
Precious spirits, how | pity them. For
persons in their situation, a change OF
scenery is necessary. / know a country

est results. The celebrated land to which

suggesting, then, that the Board appoin,
a committee of three TO wait on these com.
fortress sufferers, and to urge them in the
most pathetic and atiectionate manner "to
90 to Guinea.'
2. For some time, as Stranger" assures
me, several men, ages not mentioned, have
been living and hourishing in this place
without any uisible means OF support.
| Their appearance indicates that they are
on friendly terms with their butchers ana
tailors. AT least, they are fat ana fashion,

the way in which these weLl-dressed idlers

Here is need of reform. Let the Board
establish chah-gang, arrest these hand
some loafers, and put them TO work. BY
this means the town will be spared the ex.

and benefited in other ways as we'll.

The MEETING OF GERMAN CITzENS.-

substance what we published on ycStcr-
dav. After the constitution was put i'll
such form as suited the sense Of the meet
inc, il adjourned until next Friday night,
when it is hoped there will be Il full attend
ance. The constitution will be voted upon
and officers elected. The association
about To be formed is one which will prove
of much benefit To our State, rs well as to
the German cmigrant who comes here.
Similar associations have bcenin existence
in the North for many years, and the con-
sequence has been that all the cmigrants
have gone there. The Germans are a
thrifty people, make the best Of citizens,
and wherever they have settled they have
made their mark. We are glad that this
move has been made to encourage them to
come here, and earnestly hope that COM
plctc success may attend this effort of the
German citizens.
