g. Austin. in driving wood 10 Lewiston,
by the AndroscogSn waters. stated
that he was about to start his drive, aud
would be about two weeks in going
down. On account ol drive ot logs
from Swift River. he did not start - ca
pccled He intends 10 man Iii. boats ut
\ convenient time. Us he has beer To
Lewiston. and made arrangements to
take his wood from the water. - IL nf-

in this. more business al the same kind
will be done in coming time, As plenty oil
wood grows in this vicinity.

his own town.
Miss Emily Tucker. oc this place. is
carving on the millinery lusi css. She
has a iuIl stock of goods for summer
wear, and expects the patronage OF those
who may desire to visit her place OF bus
mess. She occupies the shop formerly
owned by Mrs Hall.
Noah Hall has engaged in the insur.
ance business quite extensively. He rep
rescnts the Continental Lille Insurance
Co, and also an Agricultural Company
OF Fire Insurance. The farmers in Peru,
who are not insured against the ravages
of the FIERY element" would do the
right thing To take out policy. that n
part Of their loss, in case OF fire might
be restored to them.
Our summer schools have nearly all
closed, and understand good degree
z of advancement has been made. which
speaks well for those Young ladies who
have engaged in teaching. They are oc'
cupied in most noble cause, and II is
for their interest to labor hard, that what
they do may not be done in vain. We
need greater interest on the part OF the
parent, in promoting the cause OF cduca-
ton in this town. Some parents may
think that II few weeks spent in the
school.room during the summer and
winter are sufficient, and will contend
that '.too much education" rs they term
+ il, tends to make them worse. but it is
not So, for money expended in that way
for child. can never be lost. but will
Weld him a hundred fold. They should
promote the cause by patronizing high
and private schools, in their own town,
or should send away to other places, but
the former think would be the best way,
as the interests OF the place would be
promoted. But more upon this SUBJECT
hereafter.
Our Lodge, the "Grove," yet prospers'
and we see the good effect OF our efforts.
in convincing the people thrt our !abors
arc not falling. Such a holy work as the
cause OF temperance, should never be
stunned By those who are friends to their
fellow men. May the order OF Good
. Templars continue Till many inebriates
