The temperance meeting Sund ay
evening was addressed by Rev. Drs.
Boardman and Parsons of Philsdel-
phia, Mr.. Robinson of Stanstead, and
Clarke Benton, Esq. from st. Adams,
aside from our home speakers. The
remarks of all were brief and very in
teresting,
Last Thursday complaint against
p. j. Noyes, Druggist, for the alleged
Illegally keeping for sale spiritious
liquors, was sworn Land warrant
placed,in the hands of the authorities
for searching his premises. Liquor
of different kinds was found, most of
which was returned on the ground that
it was kept for the purpose of COM
pounding medicine.
u Last Wednesday a quantity of liq-
uor,was seiz d by the authorities from
. truck team about two miles east of
this village, upon complaint against
William shannon and warrant for
searching the premises of William
Doonan on Mechanic st. We under
stand the right to take the liquor in
any place other than that specified in
the warrant is to be contested before
the law, and accordingly proceedings
have been commenced against Deputy
Sheriff Stalbird and Policeman Hayes
to recover it.

Last Friday night, Elihu B, Smith,
formerly of this town, now of New
York City, was arrested here, chstged
with having influenced Mrs Helen
Richardson to forsake her husband,
Henry. Richardson, and take up her
abode with him (Smith) With whom
it is alleged she has been living for a
year or more as his lawful wife. The
damages were set at $40, 900. Smith
procured endorsers to the writ, and
the case will probably be tried at the
November Term, when the Important
question, "Who's liar?" will be de-
cided.
We have several times spoken of
the business at South Lancaster, but
never knew what splendid mill they
have there for the manufacture of
lun Der. until we gavesit a personal in
spection,,a few days since. 1t is
claimed, by good judges lobe one of
the smartest mills. in the State, and
is capable'of cutting about $4,000 feet
per day. John II. Locke is sole pro-
prietor of the mill, and cuts the lum-
Der of the South Lancaster Lumber
Co., on contract. Mr.. Locke says he
determined, at the outset, to have the
mill as near perfection as possible, the
first step towards which was the pro-
curing Of an accomplished mill-wright
to take charge of the job, which was
found in the person of W. T. Jones,
Esq, formely of Island Pond, now a
resident of this town, and is entirely
satisfied with the manner in which the
work has been accomplished. A very
ingenious contriyanec is the arrange
ment for carrying off the saw-dust by
waiter, which in many mills has to be
done with dump cast or whelharrow
at great expense. A. plank spout,
open on top, passes around under the
saws on an inclined plane, into which
waiter is forced from the river ,hy u
pump, gathering up the dust as it
passes on and cmptylng II luto the NV
er. We advise mill men who are
troubled with their saw-dust to eX-
anime this invention of Mr.. Jones.
