DANHY,-The annual election passed
off all quietly here as usual. There was
no particular change rnide in the officers
OF last year, and no ballot called for.
The present board OF selectmcn are J. f.
Nichols, William Otis and Henry Will
bur, aud their very able report showed
that they nave performed their duty
with fidelity and ability. The listers are
j. n Phillips, G. T. Reed and c. II.
Cong3ou, and a better board could not be
found They have served in that office
three years. The report Of Al. W. Dou-
gan, superintendent of schools, was also
received with much satisfaction We
hope his valuable suggestions will be
needed by the inhabitants here. The
auditors report showed that the town was
not badly in dcbt-30 per cent. being the
amount of tax raised, which is sufficient
to meet estimated expenses.
Mr. Leo Miller, of New Y orl, has been
lecturing here for the past week. His
first lecture was given in the church at
the Borough, on Tuesday eve, March ID,
on the subject of Female Suffrage"
He said that we were living in an age of
revolution and reforms. He referred to
some of the most important of these. the
Car of Russia freeing the serfs of that
empire; of the great reform taking place
in Spain and of the changes which have
taken place in orr own beloved country,
and of the freedom given 10 fcnr million
blacks. Mr. Miller claimed that the only
hope of the temperance cause lay in
female suffrage, which was the drift of the
discourse. He endeavored to show that
all other remedies have failed to cure this
great evil, and through the great moral
influence which woman would exert, if
allowed to, this evil would be extermin-
ated from the land. The second lecture
wac delivered on Wednesday eve, March
Sd, ON the subject of the "Ministraton Of
Angels Realized" and was one of the
ablest lectures we have ever heard in sup
port of that theory. He first showed the
antecedent probability, and secondly, the
absolute certainty Of spirit communion.
The third lecture was given at the Corn
ers, on Sunday, on the subject of "Fe-
male Suffrage" His last lecture was
given at the Borough, on Sunday eve, and
was largely attended The subject was,
"Out of Evil Cometh Good" 1t was pro-
nounced by all present to have been an
able and very eloquent discourse. Mr..
Miller is very interesting and effective
speaker, and his lectures more impressive
than any we have had during the course
here this winter.
wv. w. Atwatel, Of Versennss, gave
a lecture on temperance at the Borough,
Friday eve last, to large audience.
