fodder best when rare done.
G. III. Weeks has been sick abed most
of the time since his return from Balti-
more. Tt doesn't affect them all that
way, but George attempted to swallow
him whole, and without much previous
| practice. The humane stomach is enti-
| tied to few DAYS notice when it is ex-
pected to perform unusual labors.

ingston has just brought us bundle of

| The Passumpsic R. R. Co., have just
put two new and elegant passenger cars
upon their road. These cars were man.
ufactured at their shops at Lyndonville,
and are as we'll made and elegantly fin.
shed and ornamented as the first class
cars of any road.
The Passumpsic Railroad have in
mind providing cheap excursions from
st. Johnsbury to Lake Memphremagog,
for one week, commencing perhaps the
first week in August-but the time will
be definitely announced hereafter
Tickets will be sold at low price, in
GLIDING railroad fare, dinner at the
Memphremagog House, and ride
through the lake. Taking the | l a. M,
train from this place, parties will have
three-fourths of an hour for dinner, a

A Greeley Club was formed at the

= evening last. The following officers
; were chosen: n. P. Bowman, president /;
Geo. w. Ely, John D. Miller. vice pres
idents; E f. Sargent, treasurer A. NJ.
. Cook, secretary. A wire was strung
II from the Avenue House to the Danville
Block, and Greeley and Brown flag
l. flung to the breeze. Some excitement
!. was got up over the flag raising. II
seems several women who are tenants in
=. the Danville Block, commenced banter
t. ing those who were engaged in fastening
1t the wire upon the building What be-
k gan as joke, grew into earnest opposi
d ton and the women locked doors, threw
IS water, and did other things to thwar
the efforts to decorate their tenemen
4 with Greeley flag. But the men out
IT, witted them, and made their wire fast
:, and run out their flag. Some Republi
= cans present sympathised with the VIC
| men, but we doubt not on second though
have concluded that the best way is t
let every one enjoy his own politics
