py those who have tried to court Nor
pheus during the last few warm nights.
i, Noticed the statement, recently,
mat A. Il. Stanley was filling the desk
OF the Methodist Church, in the place of
Rev. A. w. Eastman, who has lately
Joined the Baptist persuasion. This is a
mistake, as. Mr. Stanley is Liberalist,
and speaks to his society once in four
weeks. The Methodists have Rev. Mr..
Pickett for their pastor the present year,
who breaches every Sabbath afternoon.
The Sabbath school is flourishing, but
their library needs replenishing, and they
are just now agitating an ice cream and
strawberry festival, which will be an
nounced in due season.
The Good Templars hold their meet
ings every Friday evening and have de-
bates, dialogues, papers, etc, occasion
ally, to keep up the interest and make
them instructive. More anon. x.
PRooToRsVILLE.
DR.. d. w. Hazleton of Cavendish,
has taken as an assistant in the practice
of medicine, Harvey NJ Guild of Ches-
ter, who graduated M. D. at Hanover
last season.
Calvin Hill of Chicago, who thirty
years ago carried on business here, is
spending few days at Trips. hotel,
and visiting the'scenes of his former re
sidence. In poor health, we understand
he comes here to put himself under the
medical treatment of DR.. Story.
A young man by the name of Saw
yer, from Claremont, n. H., was ad-
mitted to practice with the Windsor
county courts, last week, and enters the
office of ]. f. Deane, for that purpose.
The case of Daniel H. Wheeler,
apt. against Daniel Wheeler'ss estate,
pending in the Windsor comfy court,
has Just been decided by the jury in IA
for of the claimant, thus giving him
/ So, 1000 more than either of the other two
heirs from the estate. We understand
the case goes to the Supreme court on
exceptions
The usual June parade of repairing
4 the highways (whether they need it OF
not) in Cavendish, is this year dispensed
with, the town at the March meeting
having put the business into the hand;
of three town commissioners. So the
highway surveyors heretofore Sc
prominent stand aside, and the business
is done very quietly by Messrs. Barrett
Stearns and Friend Chapman. Tn,
change is an experiment, the wisdom Of
which will be determined when we hea
the reports at our next March meeting
and attend to the footing of the bills.
PoULTNEY.
Decoration day was not observed il
Poultney.
ON Sunday last.19 persons were bap
tized in East Poultney. Rev. Mr.
Palmer of Middletown Baptist churcl
officiating. Rev. Mr.. Deane of Fairfax
is engaged to preach at East Poultney
and the prospect of that wing of tn
Baptist church in Poultney now look
quite promising.
Preparations viii soon be commend
cd to get ready the Ripley College prem
ises for opening school under the man
agement and auspices of the Troy Con
, ference about the first Of Septembe
next.
The slate quarrying and manufaC
ture goes briskly on. About fifty. ca
:. loads of roofing slate are sent fror
Poultney weekly, and the amount woul,
be nearly doubled if the railroad con
; pany could furnish the necessar car;
; The company may not be to blame, =
they might not have foreseen the ii
crease of the business, but certain 1t
, that the manufactures are suffering 81
vcrely now for want of sufficient an
/ ready means of transportation.
The Middletowh stages. are beginnin
! to take,mOre passenger at our depot o
t the arrival of the trains.
