might have been had the writer taken into con-
sderation many other interesting particulars
with regard to the progress and improvement
here. III we hal gone back some 80 ycaJ or
more and had tine and space to have given the
rcaler something Of history OF this little i'm
proving village, he might have had very pleas
ant thoughts while viewing the place In the mir
ror Of the past anil beholdng il in the present.
One who died last year laid foundations for the
beauty a this place, in the setting Of elm trees
along the street which have grown TO tower
|. above our heads and stand rs sentinels TO
guard US from the rays OF the hot summer sun;
and while these trees have been growing more
beautiful from year to year. there has been an.
other power at work improving the moral beau
ties Of the place by battling with that great
moral enemy, intemperance, which 10 prevailed
ut one time that there were no less than seven
places where intoxicating liquors were freely
sold; but to-day there is not . store, shop, or
spot on which 10 set one where such liquors can
be sold, while the present landholders have pos
session and aihere to their strict temperance
principles. Our citizens may we'll rejoice with
us that the monster Is 10 well subduei that they
can have the satisfaction Of feeling that their
boys are not spending their time In grog shop
when they go the Mills to spend an evening.
Two items were overlooked in our last report:
the DAYTON part Of our village has hsd store
opened within year, by Messrs. Emerson &
Huutrcss, and Mr.. s. Hill built last year one OF
the best barns in this or any other town around
here. Last eve (Aimday) about7 O'Clock the
Quiet Of this place was greatly disturbed by
fudipg the widow John Dow dead in her house.
where she lived alone, Except the company Of
grand-child by mighty She was around rs
usual through the day; il appeared she was
about TO kindle fire to get tea, rs she fell near
the stove and instantly expired. 81
