THE CHOLERA IN HAVANA. - An
Havana letter, of the 7th inst, says the
cholera has again appeared there, and is
spreading with frightful rapidly The
number of deaths on the 9th, not count
ing those of persons attacked and recov-
cred, amounted to fifty-three, and the num-
Der reported 20 have taken place on the
9th does not fall below so. Contrary to
former epidemics, the last conner does not
respect the upper crust of society, but
gathers its victims among all classes. The
city is in shockingly filthy condition,
and remembering the thousands Of half
starved families whom the war has driven
in, it will not be astonishing if the cpl
demic should make such Roadway as to
fill the city with mourning and take
the population off in countless numbers

APPLES.

Apples are of an ordinary character,
and an unusual harvest is gathered. This
is not to great extent an apple country,
and but little attention is given to this
branch of husbandry. Excellent looking
specimens are produced, but the favor Of
the Vermont apple is not found to be one
of their qualities.

SMITH CENTENNIAL IN BRIDPORT.-
On Thursday, the 9Th, the descendants of
Samuel and Hannah Smith celebrated the
settlement of their ancestors in Bridport.
Sept. 9Th, 1910. The company mum Oered
about 300, and the celebration was held in
grove on the land where the first settle
ment was made. Deacon Sheldon Smith
of Bridport was the historian of the occa-
sion, and he gave an interesting account
of the hardships of the early settlers.
There were present representatives of the
third, fourth, fifth and sixth generations,
and positive evidence was available show
ing that the number of descendants of the
original couple whose names were known
amounted to twelve hundred. The ora
tor of the day was Hon. Marvin Smith of
Whitehall, and remarks were made by
several others. Among the many inter
esting relics were the identical hat worn
by Samuel Smith a hundred years ago +:
the identical knee buckles and sknee
breeohes' and compass of Nathan Smith.
and number of other articles. The oc-
casion was one of great interest.

of Washington street and Strong Avenue;
a lot near and on Chestnut Avenue ; the
park on Main street Immediately in front
of the jail, and a lot Immediately in rear
of the site of the old County Court House
and of the Franklin Hotel. They declir-
ed TO finally select and decide upon the
site and therefore referred the whole mat
ter to the Executive Committee for theii
decision. After considerable discussion
which was participated in, by nearly, il
not, all of the members present, it was
finally voted that the tent for the dinner,
etc, should be located on the Town Hall
lot.
The Committee on Statutes reported
that they had completed all necessary ar
rangements and had provided for appro-
pirate salutes, etc, under the direction OF
Franklin Billings.

cises were instructed to prepare suitable
after-dinner toasts. ...
A letter was presented and read ad-
dressed to Henry CLARK from Dr. Err
Edison, of Manchester, rendering to tn,
committee the use of certain rare and
valuable relics for exhibition during the
Centennial. -
On motion the thanks of the committee
were returned to DR.. Edison, and the
committee on relics were directed to ac-
cept of his offer and receive and properly
care for the articles mentioned.
A committee was appointed to arrange

other gatherings.
The Marshal, Gen. Edward H. Ripley,
reported that he had appointed as assis-
tant marshals.
Col. Levi G. Kingsley.
Major John A. Salisbury.

The committee on the order of exer-
cises having reported that it would be
impossible for them to prepare poster
in time, Ben. K. Chase and Chester
Kingsley were appointed to prepare, pub
lish aud distribute posters, and were re-
quested to have it done at the earliest
practicable time
The committee then adjourned to meet
again on Saturday evening, September
Gath, at half past seven o'clock.
