WOODEN WATER TUBING.--A writer in
the american Agriculturist recommends
wooden water pipes from experience. He
even says that small bored hogs Of doubt-
full strength can be used where there is
not too heavy strain, and remarks that it
is much the more durable of all pipe, for
wood that is go saturated with water that
the air cannot enter its pores is not in the
least aifected by decay. Now if that kind
of tubing is durable how much more so is
that wound with strong wire, and the out
side steamed is gas tart Moulton's is
thus made, and of course the water inside
saturates the wood completely so air can
get into it, so how can it be otherwise
than everlasting?

The children (teu in number) OF Mr.. ana
Mrs Jonathan Bigelow, residing near the
church on the West Branch in this town,
held meeting at the house of their par
ents yesterday and today coming from
Milwaukee, Wis, Salem, Newburyport'
and Cambridge, Mass, the others being
residents of this town. The parents came
from Conway, ia Mass, 20 years ago.
There are seven brothers and three Sis
tiers, the Oldest As, the youngest y, and
in the enjoyment of good health, and un-
tied in their determination to make pleas
ant the remaining days of their parents.
There has never been any arrangement
between any member of the family.
The first day was devoted to family
concentrations. Mr.. Barnes, the artist,
was present, took pictures of the family
group, and also stereoscopic views of the
homestead (Which, by the way, is one of
pleasantest locations in our town. and adj
dresses we're made and songs sung by the
brothers and sisters.
The second day was very pleasantly
passed by the family and their relatives,
neighbors and friends making it picnic
occasion. Tables were spread under the
beautiful naples near the house.
Rev. j. D. Beeman was present and
entertained the company with some re-
marks, and assisted in the singing, as die
also DR.. Barrows, who was present with
his wife.
1t was altogether very pleasant and
enjoyable occasion. The entertainment
closed in the evening with fireworks, and
will be long remembered by all who were
present

Next Tuesday.

We hope that no true Republican will
remain at home next Tuesday, for the
work laid out by the party is not all &C.
complshed 1t has done much, but in a
country like ours new issues are continu-
ally coming up that demand its attention.
Let the vote of Vermont show to the 9TH
err States that are to follow, that although
our elections are carried with but little eff
fort, yet we are awake 10 the issuses of the
party, so that our friends in those States
may be encouraged and stimulated by the
news of an increased majority. Vermont
starts the ball for the autumn elections,
let it give il such start that its moment.
TIM may be felt in all the other States.
As regards the election in this town,
there is a reform movement on foot
which is explained by the correspondence
below, to which We gladly give place,
between the contending candidates. The
good citizens of the town have long felt
the disgrace of our elections, and hoped
for change, but where the parties were
80 evenly divided as they have been for
some years past, corruption it seemed
must be resorted to in order to secure an
election. Neither party coald show white
hands in the matter, but now light sud-
denly dawns, and we are to have an un.
corrupted ballot in Hyde Park! Neither
party can claim the honor of the new re-.
form movement, for although Mr.. Noyes'
communication is the initiative one Mr..
Page has repeatedly remarked upon the
distastefulness Of the practice, and in &C.
cepting the nomination at the caucus, said
that whenever the opposite party would
cease the practice, he and his party would
do the same. The readiness with which
he accepted the propositions made by Mr.
Noyes is proof of his sincerity.
A new party has been talked of, look
ing to this reform, with female suffrage
us one Of its principles, and embraced by
some who, we understand, wish to defeat
an election. The resolve made by the
two regular candidates, ought to satisfy
those vito are seeking reform. and certain
ly it seems that no one can SO fur forget
the important interests at stake, as to de-
sire to have no Representative in the
coming important Legislature, = new
railroads demanding charters, that may
conflict with ours, changing of town lines,
and the like, that need to be looked after.
Let us have "square," honorable fight
and min the uictoryl

Dispatches are contradictory, but from
them we deducc the following summary
which seems reliable: #"
The report that Marshal Bazaine had
escaped from Metz, proves to have been
untrue. According to yesterday morn
ing's kilograms, which seem reliable, Ba-
saine's army is surrounded in Metz, and
must eventually capitulate. If the Com
mander. in Chief is thus shut off, the
French cause is in great jeopardy.
In the meantime, the Prussian eombin-
ed armies are marching rapidly on Paris.
the latest advices making them within 80
miles of the city Count Palikao, Prime
Minister of the iImperaror's Government,
announced this fact to the Corps Legisla-
tif, in secret session, and also to the
Senate.
of course there is great excitement in
the city.
The Prussians are withholding all in
formation of their numbers or plans.
The French authorities claim to be pre-
pairing to hold the city. The coming
fortnight or two will be fraught with UNI
told interest.
While Paris will be the great theatre
of the war, other points will continue to
make some show of resistance. Stras.
bourg is still held by the French garri-
son, but it is being vigorously bombarded
by the Prussians.
