DIR. M. ]. Moore Of Grown Point
Centre, it is reported, will take DR..
Baileys place. He is the individual who
two years ago applied to the National
Life Insurance Company of Philadelphia,

the Company at Crown Point, and in con-
nection with DR.. w. P. Cannon attempt
ed to back his application with fraudu-
lent certificate of character, purporting to

4 There has been a little unpleasant
ness in relation to the Mollyneux-the
little freight and passenger boat that runs
between this village and Whitehall-the
result of which is that Captain Belden
has sold out his interest to the other
stockholders, and the boat is now run by
another man. Captain Belden has been
of signal service to this village in various
ways. Running up the creek he has
brought freight almost to our doors he
has always been very obliging and his
charges have never been exorbitant. Be.
sides he has performed considerable labor
in removing from the creek old logs and
other debris, for all of which we feel
truly grateful. When he gets his new
boat he can rely on the support of Ticon-
deroga to a man. s..e-Es
About noon Saturday the Sth April,

No accidents have yet occurred in

very good results in some quarters. At
any rate, 'Linnie Lees" style of writing
has been considerably Modified since her
first enthusiastic outbreak If she will
trouble herself to take r. cursory review
of the matter, she will find that we have
never invited her to send us private let
ter. Some time ago we imagined our

with the tone of our letters, so we invited
them to occasionally drop letter to us at
the post Office containing such items of
interest, as our limited means prevented
US from obtaining in any other way. No
reference was made to anything else. But
"Linnie Lees" nature is so closely allied
to that of Dickens "Mrs. Barden," that
she CONSTITUTES any casual remark of an &C.
centric MIR. Pickwick" mo matter how
foreign to the subj2ct) into proposal to a
matrimonial alliance and swoons accord
iugly. We advise her young lady friends
to keep strict watch over "Linnie"' for
some time, as she will certainly do soma-
thing desperate. Possibly she may try a
soup of cold pizen." ZERO.
PoULTNEY.-Atan adjourned annual
school meeting held on Tuesday the 18th
inst, in Dictrict No. l., this village, the
district voted to sell the present school

venerable old house has done it's work,
and now retires to give place to what will
better answer the demands of the present
This change, which for years past has
been strongly opposed, has taken place
with scarcely any opposition under the
progressive influence of more liberal views
and more generous policy pertaining to
our educational interests. The size of the
new house has not yet been determined
probably nothing extravagant in design
or expense will be attempted-but house
thai will meet the present and prospective
wants of our growing community, and be
credit and an honor to the town.
The present lot to be sold On corner OF
Maple and Main streets offers as good a

any town, and those wishing to secure
