tennial anniversary would itself consti-
tute recognition of that occasion, and
if hereafter successful in its design,
take the character of II permanent com
memoration.
However late the suggestion may be
as now presented, when but little oppor-
tunity remains for popular demon
stration, and still less for such an In
vestigation of historical memorials as
is usually expected at a centennial cell
ebration, what IL suitable to such an
occasion as is contemplated may be
had, and may be satisfactory. The
people may be called together in the
spirit of the anniversary, and may
bring together such souvenirs of the
past as shall revive its peculiar recol-
lections, and such hospitable prepare
lions may be made as shall ensure q
proper social entertainment. Addresses
of an appropriate character may be OBJ
tanned, special departments of guests,
as of the aged and of the young, may
be provided, products of local interest
and taste may be displayed, a specimen
display of objects for sale be attempted
and the anniversary be made. If less
conspicuous than could be desired, yet
enjoyable and profitable to all who
may attend it. Our neighbors in the
towns adjoining, whose beginning
were nearly contemporary with ours
and whose interests in the establish
ment of n Fair would be identical
should be invited to participate in thu
occasion, and every aid be solicited
from them to make it pleasant exam
pie with the community about us. 4
representative committee should be ap
pointed, selected from both sexes, il
different portions of the town, will
whom the arrangement of all detail
would be left, and the result be left t
the cooperation of the people.
In the hands of an able committee
we see no likelihood of any failure il
such an attempt. 1t is feasible, O
course, as an agreeable occasion,
heartily undertaken upon any seal
which is likely to be decided upon.
the character of the season continues t
be propitious, we see not why the thir
(or later week of October, if selecte
for the two-fold object in view, ma
not bring to us the harvest home c
many recollections, and break up tn
soil for another century's cultivation
of material wealth.

a fendish bark, aud began to take few
more critical smells at nglebury's legs.
and whenever Manglebury shufiled his

slightest sound, that infamous dog, was
instantly up and at him. Once when he
had to sneezc, he thought from the bos

1t is said, too, that the destitution is quite

for by the fact that the town has been in

A Town Fair and Town Centennial.

1t has for some years been contem-

our citizens should consider the ques-

of a Town Fair, to be held semi-annu-

and purchase of farm animals and of
any products and commodities conven-
