the rough blows and dirty ways of politics.
We can account for the presence of SO many
women in no other way than this of UNIV ling
preparation for the higher duties about TO
devOlve upon them, for it certainly must
have been unpleasant and, otherwise, not
good for them TO be there.
BISHOPS HlTEL.-If any sojourner, or
traveller lone and forlorn, doesn't wish
to break his hunger, but desires to keep
the Governor Fast pure and simple, in
word and spirit, let him beware of Bishops
Hotel next Friday, 1t is morally impossible
for hungry or healthy man to g keep
fast , if he happens into Bishops about
meal time. We wouldn go near there if we
desired to cultivate the lean, lank ascetsm
of the primitive Puritan, and had a holy hor-
ror of the roast beef and plum pudding eat
ing Briton. Not we
Sidney Smith. we believe it was who desired
in hot day to take off his flesh and sit in
his bones but then, he lived before Adams
wv. Ed time, or he could have done better
than that. lie would have looked sight
more respectable dressed up in nicely fitting
suit of Adams clothing than to have been
found sitting around in those old bones. He
could have procured cozy warm garments
for winter, or cool airy vestments for summer,
just as the eccentric old chap desired, if he
had only dropped into the clothing emporium,
on State street, opposite the Court House.
Seriously, Adams has fine assortment Of
clothing and gentlemen's furnishing goods,
and the fact that he remembers the printers.
and isn't afraid to invite all the world to an
inspection of his stock and prices, proves that
he does business enough to enable him to
make low figures. Remember the sign of the
.. big Indian" but have no fears of scalp
raising there, or that your pelt will be ia ken ;
albeit Adams does pay the highest prices for
all petries in their season.
! IMPORTANT SALE-Hon. R9derick Rich

Gently taken up his residence in this vii
lage, and we shall be pleased if this purchase

Remember Fast day, but don't keep it in
a fast way next Friday. There will be
sugar lick at VIM. Cummings, and probably,
in sundry other sugar bushes round about this
section; but proper people are not invited or
expected to go up thither. People who can't
get any thing to eat will probably fast-from
necessity, if not from choice. There will be
suitable services in the churches, where all
good people should gather, but we fear
empty seats there will be more sadly prom
inent than in any stricken family circle yet
chronicled These things ought not so to be,
but we have fallen upon degenerate days,
and the times are sadly demoralized.
BINDING done neatly, cheaply and satisfac-
torily at the FREEMAN BINDERY, head of State
Street. Parties desiring any description oil
binding, or blank-book manufacturing will
fud it for their advantages to send us their
orders about these days. We have the best
workmeD, the finest Materials and as for
prices there's no use talking. We work just
FIR the fun of the thing, and the benefit of
the world at large. N B.-There will be 6

the benefit of the widow and orphans, wher
