The contractors, r. w. Pinney and S.
Cilley have agreed to build a two
story house for $2200, presented a
plan, and the plan has been accepted
by the Selectmen, who are the build
ing committee. The poor are now
living in a small and inconvenient
house, but are well cared for by Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. White.-Fourth of
July was ushered in by the firing of
cannon, one enthusiastic Democrat
applying the match to the first gun
soon after II in the morning. The
villagers had a small and pleasant
picnic party in Raymonds grove, and
small display Of fireworks i'll the
evening. AT the Center II. +. Car
penter, of Fitchburg, Mass, delivered
an able discourse in the Advent
Chapel to a large assemblage. Bridge
watervillians and Daily followers
held picnic also at the Center, and
had jovial good time.-Mrs. Howe,
whose death is recorded in another
part Of this paper, was woman loved
and respected by all, an ornament to
society, and kind to all. The loss the
family sustains is great, but their
sorrow is mingled with sweet memory
Of household words and kindly acts,
flowing daily out from christian life.
-"Make hay when the sun shines" is
an old adage, but one would think, to
see the amount Of dark looking hay
on the hillsides, that farmers were
bound to cut it, rain or shine.

In letter to friend in Connect

in regard to the Democrats:
have no possible claim to Demo.
cratic support, and never made any.
The Democrats will of course be gov.
emed by consideration of their own
interest. 1t is nowise proper or prob,
able that they should be influenced in
making their decision by any consid-
Grafton personal to myself; and if they
could be, | do not desire it. Hence
I have said nothing to any Democrat,
unless he first addressed me. And,
even then, have gone no further than
to say that, if 1 should be elected,
would treat all those who supported
me alike, not asking whether they had
been, in the past, Republicans or Dem
ocrats.
