Out of Town Notes.
ARLINGTON.

IL was thought proper ny SDiAlC ItNAAA-
bers of the Grant and Wilson club OF
this place to celebrate the republican
victory in North Carolina, by firing a
few guns. The only cannon in town,
and one that has been used by both par
tiers for over thirty'years, was found
spiked. on the evening the arrangements
were made to fire, but whoever the mis-
cradle wretch that committed the con-
ntemptible deed, he spent his time and
labOrs in vain, as a few mechanics,
which we happen to have in town. went
to work and soon had the cannon in or
der, and fired thirteen rounds, which
made the Greeley men look sour. Now
| only write this letter to express my
opinion of a mean, miserable, low lived
trick, as the above. 1t is nothing more
than we might expect of a Greeley Dem
Ocrat. but whoever he is, he is not fit TO
live in a civilized community. and ] viii
say to him here that he may spike can
non. he may hurrah for Greeley and de
mocracy or he may commit any mean
act he sees fit. but we think we shall
show him on the 9TH day of next Novem-
Der that the republican party still lives,
and that Grant and Wilson will rule the
country for the next four years. hOwey-
er much be may howl for Greeley and
democracy. CANNON.
WHITEHALL, \. Y.
The daily or weekly events that
transpire in this town deserve notice,
but with US they are quite commonplace.
A boat sinks with its cargo, a half dozen
horses fall into the canal, a few street
fights and about twice that number of
suits before our justices of the peace,
seven lectures in one evening upon the
same subject. the discovery of ore beds,
the unearthing of the crystal sick, the
breakdown of a lake propeller, the
death of Bob Wrinkles, or the marriage
of the lovely and interesting Juliana
SnOoks, are all of them commonplace
with us Whitehall must be heard, how
ever whenever the canal breaks. or
railroad upon the west shore is to be
built, or when the political chauldron
bubbles, and especially when both par
ties are dissatisfied with their presiden-
tial candidates. A man discussing poll
tics here is voted decidedly fresh. Atten-
ton is directed to social, educatiOnaland
commercial affairs.
Under the direction of school COM
missioner Tefft. the Washington County
Teachers Institute is now in session at
the Union School building. So far. it
proves successful and profitable. Last
evening Prof. Sanford gave alecture be-
fore the Institute on the subject Of
''Carbonic Acid Gas" The lecture was
highly interesting, and was listened To
by many of our citizens.
Our annual excursion through Lake
Champlain to Montreal and Quebec
commences on Monday next and will
continue two weeks. Half fare and
splendid accommodations will induce
large number to avail themselves of this
opportunity to visit the Queens domin-
ions.
Policy, Osgood & Co have com
pleted their lumber mill, near the june
ton railroad depot, and are doing a fine
business. One portion of the machinery
is devoted to the manufacture of mould
ings.
Transportation upon the lake and
canal is very brisk. \ large amount of
iron ore and lumber is moving towards
tide-water.
The number OF clearances issued at
the canal collectors Office up to and in
Guiding August 18th, 1872, amount to
2606. Number issued same period last
year, 2443. The receipts for 1872, in
GLIDING August 18th, amount to S40,-
607.61. Amount of toll received in 1871,
same period, amounted to 0,046.52.
The necessity for an enlarged canal
from here to Troy increases every year,
and the evidences of such an improve
ment are promising.
The Rev. &. J. Hill, in company
with DIR. Todd, of Pittsfield, Mass, start
for the North Woods on Monday next,
for an extended hunting excursion.
The Republican district convention
was held at North Granville to-day, for
the purpose of electing delegates to the
Utica convention.
Somebody is going to be nominated
for member Of Assembly in this district
pretty soon. The fact will be noted as
soon as accomplished.
Many strangers find difficulty in
giving Whitehall an exact location. As
an item for general information | would
state that the town is situated in
That delightful province of the sun,
That Skeene once winked upon"
Anybody can recognize it now.
Having established friendly rela-
tons, you may expectto again hear from
me. JACQUES.
