Our village.

We have heretofore casually called
attention to the progress of our village
and its increasing wants and necessities.
So great has been the increase OF its
population within the few years past,
that 1t Is difficult for those even long
dwelling In our midst, to know one
another, much more to find where a
neighbor lives. How much more trouble
some is 1t for stranger, who scarcely
knows that we have streets with names
to them, to find where that street is, and
which direction to take t. aid him in
the discovery.
Such is the population OF our village,
1871, that we need s Directory. Other
places, even smaller than this, have had
the advantage Of one for years, and we
should, ere this, but for the immense
labor and patience 1t required.
We can now say that, If no unforeseen
contingency obstructs, we are about to
have one. The publisher having availed
himself OF the services of Doctor Joseph
Warner, whose Ill health had compelled
a short vacation from his duties in the

full efforts, the names, residence and &C.
cupation OF every person Of the age Of
q years in the village has been obtained
and also the population. The change oil
residence OF many at this season, has
rendered the task more difficult, but be
has perseyered and aimed to follow uE
each change, so that every difficulty has
been overcome.
This being the first attempt and 8
pioneer in this direction, we urge oul
citizens to give 1t all the aid and assist
ance in their power. 1t being such q
work as every house will need, and sc
convenient for every one, that business
men OF every description will see the
importance of advertising in it, and thus
not only advance their own interests
but aid the measure materially. Secre

RAN AwAY.-on Saturday week Chas.
and John Rogers, aged IL and IL years,
respectively, sons OF Chas. r. Rogers OF
Bradford, left home evidently with the
intention Of taking upon themselves the
responsibility of taking care OF them
selves hereafter. They have thus far
succeeded in eluding those who have
been searching for them. They were
traced to South Newbury, where they
were on Saturday, and from there they
went to Corinth, sleeping in barn on
Wright's Mountain on Saturday night
On Sunday they were seen In Fairlee, and
spent the night In the woods, about two
miles from Post Mills. They were last
heard OF near North Thetford, a week
ago this morning.

TRouBLs.-Rumor says there is trou-
BILE between the Passumpsie railroad
company and West Derby. The R. R.

bridge that leads to Newport, the two
bridges forming sort OF letter X. The
Derbyites don't propose to have their
inalienable rights abridged in this man
ner-so the employees of the town are
engaged in planking over the railroad
track and guarding the highway bridge,
while the r. R. Co. amuse themselves
by tearing their work to pieces.

horse, taken from St. Cesaire, c. E., on
Saturday night previous. The horse
was valued at 5000, and was too much
to lose without a reasonable effort for its
recovery. Mr.. soule sent word to sun
dry persons to be on the watch, and
though the horse was found to have
passed through st. Adams the day az
ter it was stolen, further trace of 1t ap-
peared to be mystery. And it was not
until about week after that suspicion
rested upon a Frenchman residing in
Fairfax, Leon Missier, who was arrested
as also his hired man, Mcclure, and are
now held for examination. 1t appears
that the horse was taken to secluded
part Of Fairfax, and few days after re-
turned to Canada.
