The recent rains have started up the
grass, so that formers will get nearly as
much hay as last year.
The Presbyterian church is again sup
piled with minister, and may she enjoy
the blessings of Providence to make up
for her past rest.
For right down meanness the follow
ing beats anything in this town: Two
young men had two horses which got
into their uncle's grass field, and out of
pure malice he took them up. and after
a lengthy search found the pound keep
er and put the animals in his keeping.
To make long story short the uncle
travelled about thirty miles and got six
teen cents for his trouble and damage.
So much for being foolish.-Reporter.
The road from the village to the
Bend is in excellent condition, none as
good in town.
Haying is fairly under way here, and
we are promised an average crop, con-
trary to the expectations of many Of the
farmers.
The Steam mill has just been started
up again, and we hope no new disaster
will befall it. Some portion of the ma
chinery did not run well as first adjust
ed, but will need but slight repairs. The
engine is very heavy and powerful and
would do, should it be necessary. four
times the work now required of it. The
owners ought to make quick work of the
saving now on hand, if they expect to
fit their lumber for market this season.
The contract for carrying the mail
from the Bend to Craftsbury, was taken
by Hiram Hill of ST. Johnsbury, and
the people confidently expected it to be
carried in good shape, but on the con-
trary it commenced with one old plug
ringboned and spawned. Such meth
cd of carrying the mail for Uncle Sam
may do provided they get in on time,
but the travelling public won't stand it
and the contractor will find it SO.

parts of the town, by Rev. A. A. Smit
