LECTURE.-Rev. Mr.. Grout, who
Iabored as missionary in Africa for
Is years, now acting as an agent for
the American Missionary Association,
spoke Sabbath p. M, April 18th, at
the Congregational church in Glover
village in behalf of the freedmen.
Mr.. o. French of the village takes
the lead as yet in making sugar, hay
ing already made about two pounds
to the tree.

HARDwICK.
The people of Hardwick village
want wide awake men of means to
put up houses. Rent is very high and
three applicants for every tenement.
Mr.. Reuben Wakefield has invent
ed new mode of boiling sap. He has
metallic tube passing through the
arch seven times, forming CRATE
The sap guaged by a faucet in the
holder passes through the CRATE and
empties into the evaporation boiling
hot. 1t appears like a good thing.
The town of Hardwick has voted
to change the conditions under which
it bonded, but in such a manner that
the new contract is more secure than
the former. The directors are not
satisfied with this change and have
caused another meeting to be warned
to be holden on the 21st inst.
The warning does not state what
change they wish to make, so the peo-
pie will be unprepared to act, and
doubtless anything the directors urge
upon them will be carried with rush
and with little knowledge of the re-
suit. They are willing to sink $780,
600, if they can get the road, but ought
not to sink both.
