HIGH TIMES IN BRADFoRD.-They
are having high times in Bradford over
their late election. The democrats elect
ed Barron Hay, representative by one
majority, but the Union party contest the
election, and claim that the democratic
civil authority refused 10 put upon the
check list the names Of several Union men
who are unquestionably lagal voters. and
that they also put upon the list several
democrats who unquesiionably were not
legal voters The testimony wastaken last
Friday, and the case is so clear that Hay
will doubtless lose his seat and Stevens,
the Union candidate be declared elected
by the House. The feeling has run high
there, and the democratic members of one
of the churches have Withdrawn their sup.
port from the church in order to saddle
their beloved but erring brethren with q
heavier pecuniary burden, and thus pro
perry punish them for their political re
sizes, we suppose, but il won't take much o
an eye though to see that their last per
formauce does not manifest very grea
depth of piety. 1t is plain enough to SCI
what kind of gospel the Bradford dem
ocrats want.

The Trout PoNp.-Mr. Bridgman's
trout have become perfect beauties. Last
spring when taken from varions streams
they were of different hues nov they
have become acclinated 10 iheir new
quarters, and have a more uniform APP
pearance in dress. A butterfly passing
over the pond within a foot or more of
the water will be chased by hundreds of
them, forming an amusing scene. Mr. b.
now has some 1900 of these trout, 125 Of
which we're removed the other day into
another pond. He has now completed his
Matching house, but will put in another
Matching box, however, in which Mr.. Ha-

much interest, and will add 10 the interes

BARToNsvILLE.-Ay year ago or more
b. Saow, Jr., Esq, of Fitchburg bought
the new paper-mill and also the public
house aud farm of DIR, Parker. The
hotel he has neatly fitted up with nice
hall adorned with pictures in nice frames,
clock, table. lighting apparatus, &c, max
ing it quite attractive, the people of the
place uniiiag with him in furnishing it
with sgttees. Last winter it was occupied
by successful singing class under the
direction Of Mr.. S. Holmes of Grafton.
Exhibitions and other meetings were also
held in it, which served to pass off the
long winter evenings very pleasantly.
After the repairs had been completed, Mr..
Snow sent for his old friend and pastor,
Rev. L. Davis, Of Fitchburg, Mass, and
had religious services. dedicating it to the
social, mental and moral Improvement of
the place, and christening it Union Hail."
aud during the sea,on religious services
have been held there, Mr.. Davis occupy
ing it three-fourihs of the time and the
Spirituahsts the other fourth, until recent
ly when the latter have held their meet
ings at the schoel-house. and en- some oc-
casions meetings are now held in both
places on the same day.
The hall viii comfortably seat $50 per-
sons. A Sabbath School has now been
organized and some fifty dollars raised for
library, and they take some thirty copies
of the Child at Home, Sunday School
Advocate, Casket, &c, and friend in
New York city has presented them with
choice selection of hymns and tunes
Recently Ladies' Benevolent Society
has been formed, which meets once in two
weeks, nothing new OF course, except as
to Bartonsville.
The old paper mill has recently under
gone repairs, received new and improved
machinery, and viii hereafter manufac-
ture brown tissue wrapping paper, instead
Of hanging paper, as heretofore. The
new mill is also being repaired, and vii
, he used for the manufacture of white
5 hanging paper, and there is every reason
d for believing the work will be don,

y town, and now that the ice is fairly brok

Get everything they need
they get the iagest and the best

And get 10 free to eifcuses,
And other kinds Of shows;
And when Mammoth cheese Is cut
They always get Size,
For saying Mrs smith knows how
To make it very nice
The largest pumpkin, longest beet,
And other garden stuff,
Is blown into the sauctum by
An editorial puff
The biggest bug will speak to them.
No matter how they Dress
A shabby coat Is nothing, II
You own printing press
At ladies' fairs hey ne always hinged
By pretty girls, you know,
That they may crack up everything
The ladies have to show
And thus they get a blow out free.
At every party feel
The reason is, because they write
And other people read.
