ed to ninety dollars after defraying all

Our item of Grandy Skinner & Par
ker's business last week should have sta

List of letters remaining uncalled for,

Porter Baldwin, whose saw mill was
recently burned in this village, has got
up the basement of new mill, and will
very soon be tearing up the logs faster
than ever. This frame was made by
Mr. Hiram Cass of this town, and is a
solid and substantial one. Mr.. Cass
knows how to make good frame, and
Mr.. Baldwin,-who, by the way, is one
of Barton's most Select-men-knows how
to do good business.
Some maniac went through our streets
last Thursday night crying "Fire fire p
Several peSons jumped into their pants
and out the door on double quick time,
! but found it to be a false alarm. The
same chap, probably, went into James
Halls barn and cut up a rope belonging
to hay pressing machine. Several
buildings about town have been broken
into lately by night walkers and street
owls. We advise some folks to have a
little caution and keep shy, or they may
possibly come to grief.
Noticing somewhat the union meet
ings now holding in our village, it ap-
pears to us that the greater the number
of workers Off Jealous according to
knowledge the more attractive and in
teresting the meetings. Why would il
not be better throughout the year to hold
the social meetings of the churches to-
gether? 1t does seem strange to one
looking upon the churches as an institu
ton laboring for the greatest amount O
good, that simply little difference o
church government &C., should cause OF
the same evening the working class o
christians to be separated, thereby put
ting the work upon two or three in eacl
society and making the meetings lacl
variety of experience and amount of en-
thusiasm and life which it now would t.
an extent give.
