A line OF rifle pits has been thrown
up on Church hill.
- We would call the attention Of the
reader to Mr. C. Rowland's advertise
ment in another column, headed Elm
portant Notice..
The iron bridge has withstood the
frosts of winter, and probably will remain
for years to come, firm as our everlasting
hills.
1t would be we'll for those who do
not "wish to die in the spring-time' to
wear their winter clothing a little longer.
Ethereal mildnesS has not arrived vet.
Clifton Richmond, it is reported,
has the papers appointing him town rum
agent. 1t seems that his labors in be-
half of Horton have been rewarded. The
agency is nuisance to a business man.
A drug store is the place for it,
We have sent out circulars to those
who are in arrears for this paper, some
time ago, From many we received
prompt responses, while many hang
back whom we still have faith in, and
trust they will respond at an early day,
Would it not be well for our town
officers to advertise town matters in both
local papers, Democrats pay taxes, and

their party paper on official matters.
In our notes on Hartland last wee k,
by some oversight, we located Labaree's
store at the Four Corners Notwith-
standing this the store remains at the
Three Corners, as usual. The store at
the Four Corners was burned down some
years sin &c, and never rebuilt.
- We learn that Mr.. H. w, Spauld-
ing Of this town has recently sold the
right of New Hampshire and Vermont
for his newly patented axle Guage" for
5000 cash. 1t is said to be the simplest
and best thing Of the kind yet out. The
patent was obtained by C. R Rowland,
Esq, Of Washington, D. c., now at
Hartland, Vt.
The Band Concert.
The Woodstock Cornet Band give
a Concert and Dramatic Entertainment
at the Town Hall, on the evenings of
