In the way Of sharp shooting, Peacham
women seem TO put their husbands in the
shade. Mrs. S. Ladd had shot six crows
with her hu stands rifle at last accounts,
and was patiently waiting till she should
miss one, so that he might shoot accord
ing to agreement. Another neighbor Mrs.
NJ. Hunt aud husband, were shooting for
the center of target ten rods distant
and had twice grazed it when Mrs. Ladd
hit the mark at her first shot

The Lyndon Union says West Concord
ladies have got mp petition to have the
sale of liquor suppressed, and tLat the
gentlemen are about to organize a society
forbidding all association and intercourse
with those of the genter sex who REFUSE
( to allow "the boys" one drink day.
/ Senator Morrill, don't wish any bach
pay in his'n and has drawn the money
and paid it into the State treasury. Hi
argues that most congressman will poke
the steal, that our State will be obliged
TO pay her portion of it, and if she is 81
| fortunate as to have members who ar
honest enough to draw the money an(
give it TO her, which will balance the de
fciency, it is her good luck, but some 0
the leading papers of both parties do no
speak well of the performance. Con
gres.meu Willard aud Poland have no
vet drawn theirs and will not until tn,
affair is hushed mp and partially forgotten
perhaps not all. We can hope.
