Dalton.
A few weeks ago, as Mr.. B. Z
Somers was driving to the depot,
with colt, about two weeks old, fol-
lowing the mare, the little fellow took
fright at the approaching train and
sprung upon the track ahead of it,
which position he kept from Dalton
to South Lancaster. On Thursday
Mrs. Palmer's OK got on the track,
and not being so good q roadster as
The colt, was oyertaken by the train
which resulted in three broken legs,
and other injuries. The on is now
supposed to be beef and Mrs. Palm or
wants to buy another. T.

Several of our young folks have
been enjoying themselves of late in
eluding the unwary into what is call
ed the ''queer family" and they
have very successfully inveigled some
Of our best posted gents into their
Imaginable trap. Having never been
victimized (sorry) we gather from
those present that it is somthing after
the following: Several ladies and
gents congregate at friends house,
send out for a gentleman to visit
them without timely notice for toilet
preparations. Gentleman enters and
Unexpectedly contronts a crowd of
ladies'. Whatever he utters (no matter
what) is repeated by the c:owd or
members of it. Of course the gentle
man is embarrassed and whatever his
movements or sayings are, they are
thrown back into his face. In this
dilemma his only way 10 conquer is to
perform an act which would be more
ludicrors than pretty for the ladies,
such as turning summersault or
standing at perpendiculars, head
downward. This accomplished you
have ''mugginsed" your prosecutors
and can then join in the festivities of
the evening with them. Lately, all
elderly gent, Familiarity, known as
Professor" was called in at one of
these gehteel "sells," and finding
himself in the presence of many pref
ty ladies, excused his appearance,
and ended his sentence, ''ii l had
known / was to be thrown into your
company l would have put on a clean
Shirt" The ladies blushingly repeat
ed the same, and the Prof, was per-
mitted to Ego on bis way. On an
other occasion 4 Supt., IN charge OF
certain works here, was brought be-
fore like tribunal, and although he
is called an sold head and hard to
corner, in this case he was "turned
over for want of bail" Friday even
ing an IN. d." who goes in for f"n,
was notified to appear, but smelling a
big mice, had professional business
elsewhere. Thiswasa "muggins, on,

COOS COUNTY, N. II.
Lancaster,


The exercises at the monthly con-
cert of the NJ. e. Sabbath School, last
Sabbath, were unusually interesting.
Passages were read and rected by the
older portion of the school, referring to
the different trees mentioned in the
Bible. the children who were nearly
all bedecked in flowers repeated
Scripture passages or other appropri-
ate selections, most creditably. At
the close of the exercises the boqGets
which had been brought in for the pur-
pose were distributed among the con-
gregation, each one according to the
address attached to it by the donor.
Those WHO were detained away by
sickness were generously remembered.
as were also the prisoners confined in
the Jail.
The Nashua Telegraph Editor in
his description of Coos and the recent
press excursion to Connecticut Lake
and Dixville, writes thus pointedly
concerning Lancaster:
The village occupies beautiful site

Connecticut and Israels rivers unite,
forming a basiu of wide extent which
is completely margined by command.

out on the plain, and has very trim
and attractive appearance. From THE
surrounding ridges and hills, which
also command fine view of the White
Mountains and the Percy and Vermont
hills, the panoramic view is hard to
surpass. Lancaster has $500 inhabi.
tants, two newspapers, several sharp
lawyers, and the toughest politics Of
any town in the State. If we lived in
Lancaster we would drop politics and
go to work to build up a village offs ZOO
inhabitants upon its splendid site.
While manufactures will do this to
some extent, summer boarders must
be the main reliance, of which it should
have at least 1000 next year. For
such it is not surpassed by North
Conway even, and is only days ride
from Boston.
On Sabbath, Aug. Sd, the people Of
Lancaster and vicinity will be favored
with the opportunity of hearing
Bishop Simpson of the M. L. Church.

stUnitication' is not more popular
with the leading conservative journals
of the North, than it is with those Of
the South. The New York World
thinks Gen. Beauregard's project ,for
Qualification" shows him to be one of
those rare Christian persons in whom
the lamp of charity shines so bright
that they are more blessed in giving
than in receiving. And it adds, as we
did at the time of the Things death,
that the scheme is a political jug, with
the handle all on one side. Sambo will
gorge the bait; but he will not swallow
the hook; and the New York journal
thinks very justly-taking their own
resolutions for the basis of the belief
that the negroes would not be so 10th
! to favor the whites with their company
at evening parties, dance and fiirt with
| the ladies, and mako themselves truly
agreeable in many an African way.
But even though he be permitted to
celebrate the rites VOud0u in the saloons
of New Orleans, the blacks will con-
tinue all the same to vote as they please
which is synonymous with saying
as Grant, Casey, and Kellogg please
and the too supple whites will have to
air the parlors and sprinkle disinfec-
tants about the next morning without
any Qxitz pro quo.
Justly, if very bitterly, the World
adds:
It seems like pity for the par sang
of Louisiana to make itself suspicious
upon such slight temptation. One
should get reasonably good wages, any
how, when one undertakes to nurse
leprosy. To be sure, everything comes
round after while in the revolving
circle of progress; but it is reversing
the natural order of things to put the
chimpanzee in white kids and a dickey
before he has learned the decorum of
the breech- Mobile Register.

KELLOGG THE STATE.
[ChicagO Tribuncl

[Chicago Tribuncl
The peculiar manner In which Mr..
Kellogg was sustained in his claim for
the control of the Louisiana Govern
ment has evidentally led him to believe
that, like Louis XIV, he is the State.
He was certainly prompted by some
such impression in his recent action in
regard to the State funds. He practically
abolished the Office of State Treasurer
to carry out his purpose. New Orleans
is flooded with treasury warrants with
which official salaries and the State
debts have been paid under carpet-bag
rule. BY the exercise of some extreme
Iy arbitrary measures, Mr.. kellogg has
recently succeeded in securing q small
amount of money in the treasury. In
tho hope of making some reputation
for economy, he sustained Mr.. Clinton,
the State Auditor, in issuing an adver-
tisenent, which announced to the poo
pie that a certain amount of money
would be disbursed at a certein date in
warrants, and that those
who would bid highest for the money,
or in other words, take least for their
warrants, should be favored in the dis
tribution of the funds. This proceed
ing was, of course, a species of repudia-
ton, and altogether unauthorized by
law. Tho State Treasurer, q colorcu
man named Dubuclet, who was elected
in 1870 to hold Office for four years, pro-
tested against this course, but Kellogg
ordered tho collectors to pay over their
money to the Auditor, and ordered the
Auditor to follow the advertised pro-
gramme. Tho Treasurcr's Office was
thus practically abolished.
