ID An editorial egg" comes to us from
:, Athens. 1t is furnished by biddy be-
nH longing to Daniel Perham, measuring
I esIs 81 by 81 inches and weighs 81 ounces
10, 1t is therefore very reasonably claimed
g Z, that "Athens not only raises smart men
: but smart hens"
r. The annual village corporation
meeting occurs next Monday evening.
e. The large interest placed in the hands of
"a the corporation during the past year,
makes it more than usually important
that there should be full attendance,
otherwise those absent will have poor
reason to complain if village affairs are
not managed to their liking.

~ Two engines and car pillow went
down the Valley Saturday morning, the
latter running off the track, soon after
Cleaving the depot, and strange to say
ran on the ties to Westminster. The men
inside the pillow car attempted to notify
he engineers BIZ pulling the bell cord,
which broke. In this dangerous condi-
: Jon they passed the bridge over the
5axtons River, and it seems almost mir
)Raculous that no serious accident occur
red.
= There was very pleasant "calico
hop" at the Island House on Monday
vrevening, in which some twenty five coup
les OF the young people of this village
participated, and including an excellent
supper BY fleming. The most promi-
nent calico adornments of the evening
were worn by some two or three gentle
R men. and the loss of very liberal sized
button and one-half Of very elongated
swallow coat tail, followed by the ghost
ly appearance of the loser after his mis-
y fortune, very reasonably created storm
Of merriment worthy of the manufactur-
er Of thirteen hour clocks
