Rev. j. w. Guernsey has an appoint
ment to lecture on temperance in this place
on Wednesday evening, Feb. :.
The ladies of the Unvcrsalist society
held their annual fair and festival in Glen
hall, on Thursday evening, Jan. %, which.
as usual, proved Il success. Tie articles
designed for sale were tastefully arranged
about the hall, giving it fine appearance.
Most of the articles were disposed of by
the sale of tickets. Some of the most val
liable prizes were drawn as follows: Bufla-
10 robe, Joseph Sbley bedquilt, Mrs. J..
w. Morse; crockery, Arthur p. Starr; sill
yer teapot, Miss Alice Starr; one-half doz-
en- silver forks, Luther Gale; sofa, Mrs.
f. q. Crown. A good number were pres
emit Everything passed off in good order,
and pleasant social gathering it was. The
total net receipts were S12l.5O, which is to
be appropriated for furnishing the church
and for other purposes for the benefit of
the society. The Jacksonville Cornet

Charles Stearns. on Monday last, in
transporting load of wood from Win
chester to IIinsdac overturned IL in such
manner as 10 impede his own locoufo-
tion. Help was at hand, and Charlie was
soon eXtricated from his perlous burial,
but time will be required to repair bad "
spraned ankle and other personal damage
cs.
ON Saturday last Il leap year sleigh
ride from hinsdale to Bernardston and
back was enjoyed by about dozen couples.
The ladies demonstrated that they are as
capable Of holding the reins as the oppo-
site sex, and the gentlemen as fully showed
their aptness to "love and obey;" so that
hereafter no arguments need be presented
to practically establish womans rights.
On Thursday last, ten couples of our
young folks, accompanied by their teacher,
Miss Newton, went to Fayetteville, VI,
her home, for a sleigh ride, where they
were generously and beautifully enter
timed in manner every way conducive
to their enjoyment, making the occasion as
happy in execution as in design. The en-
tire party returned in the evening. Miss
Newton and her friends in Fayetteville are
entitled TO the lasting gratitude of the
young people they so freely and kindly en-
tertainod.
-Outwardly, things continue generally
quiet in this village. Occasionally, howev-
err, Il ripple is seen upon the surface, the
causes Of which may be inferred from what
follows: a VIGOROUSLY dissipated charac-
ter, on the Sabbath, and at other times
during the week, has vented his spite up
on the statutes of the State and upon law
loving people, by procuring Intoxicating
liquors from places out of town, and I'M
der the influences and effects of which,
with fierce gesticulations and profane
and boisterous demonstrations, he has
repeatedly perambulated our streets
showing that we need and must have as
stringent and severe laws for drunkards us
for the manufacturers of these turbulent
characters. At dancing party few eve
nings since, some foolish young men saw
fit TO inflict on the State and this commun-
ity their appreciation Of free whiskey, by
procuring abroad bottles of the inebrating
stun, which they openly "imbibed" TO
their own shame. Their conduct also
served to deepen the disgust decent people
feel for the liquor traffic, and makes them
more than ever determined to enforce
against it the law 10 the greatest possible
extent.

AT the third annual meeting Of this ASSOC
citation, held at Rutland, Jan. 18th and 10th,
interesting discussions were held ON vari-
Gus topics connected with the interests of
dairymen. We quote from the Rutland
Herald
II. ID. Curtis of Utica, said it was very i'm
portant to establish II weekly market day.
The only thing necessary for this was for
dairymen to come together and agree to
sell at "A certain day and place, and no
where else. Little Fails oblaincd her re-
putaton in that way; some 20 or 30 factory
cheese men agreed TO that, and will sell at
no other time, and it was the origin oftheir
market day. The buyers go around among
the producers, inspect their cheese, etc.,
but cannot buy pound until market day.
There is no trouble in finding buyers if
you have the goods together. There are
two binding obligations-one that where
an offer is made for cheese, the producers
shall not sell unless the offer il raised Is
of Il cent per pound, and the other that all
difficulties must he settled by the board.
| These are regularly organized with officers,
etc. They do not generally sell by samp-

they presented THE Cync" for a standard
play, and "All that Glitters is not Gold"

nancially it was success. The proceeds
after paying the expenses, amounted to
$3.50, and will be laid out in books for the

Some new ideas were advanced at the re-
cent temperance conventional the secre-
tary says. think he is right. At least il
was new to me that so many of the profess
ed friends of temperance in this vicinity
are opposed TO the execution Of the prohib-
itory law. Some Of their arguments should
have a sober second thought befuro we
adopt the conclusions derived from them.
Attempts at the execution of the law, it
was said, provoke hostility and sometimes
subject individuals to prosecutions. Some
lamentabe instances were given. This
certainly was no evidence. 1t Is readily
admitted that in some cases where the rum
power is strong, and the responsibility of a
prosecution has fallen upon one or two
persons, acts of retaliation may have been
committed. But this, instead of shaking
our faith in the law, should teach us the
need of maNing greater efforts to bring to
its aid that power by which alone it can he
safely and successfully executed, viz, a

he has had such ierOcious attack of indie

ing directly to the consumer was that the
producer did not always mako an equally
good article. He had purchased butter for
friends, handed the order to persons whose
reputation for making excellent butter was
good and let them fill it, but after the Sec
ond or third trial it would prove bad. Here
is where the difficulty lies, the producer
cannot always make good butter, and they
have not the tact to discover il.
Mr. Douglas of Whiting, thought good
article of butter could be sold for the best
prices. Consumers come to know the pro-
Queer and the process of manufacturing,
and knowing that they get good article
are willing to pay for it, The trouble with
middle-men is that good butter goes into
tho market with the bad, and the prices
rule accordingly. The bost butter goes
directly to the consumer and they will pay
for ii, but If it is sent to the market il will
not bring so much because consumers have
no confidence in it.
Mr.. Brown of Milton, did not think mid

son might as well get his cotton directly
