New Holland Correspondence.
New HOLLAND, o., May IL, '68.
Editor Fayette County, Herald,

NEW HOLLAND, o., May IL, '68.
Editor Fayetts County Herald;
In days past, we had one in ou
midst who would occasionally writ,
for the HERALD, noting the event
rs they transpired in our village
under the name Of "observer."
As our Observer has left us, ant
feeling an inclination to write {
line occasionally and try to keer
our neighbors posted as to some Of
the more importent events, with
your permission / will do so.
For several weeks past nothing Of
interest has transpired. The farm
ing class are all busily engaged at
their Spring work, so that our mer-
chants are not over-worked, wait
ing upon customers; yet they have
enough to do to keep them from
taking that dangerous-in some
villages, but not in ours-disease,
Spring Fever.
Our newly elected Town Council
have in contemplation the erection
of that much needed place of re-
sort for certain classes, a Calaboos.
This institution is much needed
here; not so much for the purpose
OF furnishing lodgings for our own
citizens, but for those of our neigh
boring villages, for such is the fact,
that we are annoyed more with a |
certain class from our neighboring
villages, than we are by those Of
our own village and vicinity.
There have been some changes
among our merchants. The Firm
1f Vlerebome & Co. was mutually
dissolved. The business is now
carried on by the Senior Were
ZONE. The Junior Vlerebome and
elliott, formerly the partners of
'lerebome Sr., have opened out a
lew branch of business in our vii.
age, /. e., dealers in " hen fruit -
s Josh Billings would define it.
They are devoting the whole of
heir time and attention to buying
nd shipping eggs, poultry and
and are doing an exten-
i've business.
The Firm of Grimes & Blandin,
as also been dissolved-the Senior
till carrying on at the old stand
he Junior has opened out with
ice stock of Dry Goods, in the
'adpole region, in your county.
Our villagers were in considera-
lie confusion on the morning of
be 9th, by the news of burglary
'ome light fingered Gent. made

and then boring through
Vo doors. After laying in a sup
ly of needed articles, consisting of :
ne dozen perfumery, some lard t
il, goods, one revolver, and some h
ose change, &c, the rogue quick e
vanished, leaving his implements s.
had borrowed without leave
ON an adjacent blacksmith shop,
effect an entrance, on the coun
r. He was a generous rogue,
ON the fact that he took only
nat he needed, amounting in all
some forty or fifty dollars. =,
1t is supposed, by some of our &C
king citizens, that the rogue was .
Good Templar, from the fact that

I'm a special friend which he had ~

GoRHAM, Feb. q, 1868.
A social levee was held at Harding's Hall
on Wednesday evening, 26th inst, under the
auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Society,
and, as expected, there was full attenda nce
The exercises of the evening were conducted
under the management of Mr.. r. c. Harding,
and consisted of music, reading and tableaux
with a little variety of different order. The
of this Society. Much credit is due to Mr..
L. w. Parkhurst for the success attending
this part of the exercises.
The tableaux consisted of the Artists
Studio; Queen Eleanor, two scenes; the Rus
tic Lovers; Maria Antoinette, two scenes;
Faith; the Suppliant; and Zenobia, Queen of
Palmyra. Miss Nettie Files read that beauti-
full poem of Whittier's, "The Angels of Buena
Vista" Perhaps no better compliment could
be given Miss Files than to state the fact that
within the last few years, whenever it has
been thought best to have an exercise of read
ing in our public assemblies, she has been
called upon to perform it, "The Hunters
Tower" song by Mr.. Colby and Miss Cary,
was an interesting feature of the exercises.
dialogue in two parts, " How to keep a Sc
cret," closed the formal exercises. 1t was both
amusing instructive.
To add interest as well as profit to the occa-
sion, a handsome picture had been obtained.
which was to be given to the Superintendent
of one of the Sabbath Schools of the place
who received the largest number of votes each
vote to cost ten cents. When the polls were
closed it was found that each superintendent
had received an equal number. They were
again opened, and additional votes were
thrown, and like result was obtained a second
time. AT their third closing it was found that
Deacon Irish, the Superintendent of the Con-
gregational Sabbath School, had received ITO
votes against 100 for Mr. r. G. Harding. of the
Methodist School. Deacon Irish, afCer a word
or two of remarks about the voting, presented
the picture to Mrs. Fuller, the wife OF the pas
tor of the Methodist Church.
Much credit is due to Miss Minnie Eaton
chairman of the Committee of Arrangements,
for the success of the entertainment. The
proceeds of the evening exceeded 800. w.

WANTED Although Portland gives evil
dence of much enterprise in most matters,
there are yet few things lacking that ought
to be established at once in city of $4,000 in
habitants. To begin with we stand very much
in need of good Opera House. This fact is
evident to all, but many will say that we can
not at this time afford it. In this they are
mistaken, for the crowd at any entertainment
given in this city, leaves no doubt that build
ing of this kind must prove good investment
AT the present time there are a number of va
cant lots well located for this purpose, that
will probably, in two years OF less, be occupied.
So now is the time to act.
This city is also in need of bathing rooms.
Hardly any city Of two-thirds the population
of Portland, in any other of the New England
States, is without its bathing rooms, and in
this respect we are certainly behindhand. The
first thing, during warm weather, that tray
eler enquiries for on his arrival in city, is a
bathing room, and it gives him bad impress
sion when he is told that there isn't place in
the whole town arranged for visitor to make
himself clean. Besides, it is something that
would be hailed with joy by many of our citi-
zens, as it would save many long tramps to
Fish Point" during the summer season. We
hope that this want will be supplied, and with
in two years there will be place to step in
and by paying your fee, submerge yourself in
the clear limpid waters of Sebago
And furthermore there are enough in, and
who visit Portland, to support .frst-class eat
ing house. What we mean by irst-class is,
equal to the best in New York and Boston 1t
need not be fitted up with great expense but
should have a blu of fare that could be hand
ed to friend from abroad without an apology.
There are good eating houses in the city now
that will always be well patronized, but we
want one in good location well fitted up and
carefully managed to keep pace with our 9th
er improvements.

FIRE.-Soon after o'clock last evening fire
was discovered in the two storied wooden
building on Commercial. near the foot of Deer
street, owned by Mr.. f. w. Talbot, of Cape
Elizabeth, and occupied by Messrs. Talbot &
Jackson, hay dealers, on the lower floor, and
E. s. Griffin, carver, in the upper story The
fire is supposed to have caught around the
funnel of the stove in the earver's shop. A
large portion of the hay in the lower part Of
the building was cleared out. The active ex-
ertions of the fremen confined the flames to
the building, the upper part of which was
ruined together with the contents in that part
of the building. A portion of the hay in the
lower story was damaged by water. We could
not learn how much insurance there was on
the property. Mr.. Griffin had some on his
stock
