SS GREENSBORO. Ill
Quite a company Of pleasure seekers
from Montpelier are enjoying themselves
at '.Camp Caspian" and well they may,
for the beauty Of location is second to
none in the State, and we think if the
beauty of this and many other places
around this lake were more generally
known, city visitors would flock here in
large numbers We are ssureia commo-
dious Summer Hotel here would pay
larger interest to the owner than Tolman,
Simpson & Delano's Steam Saw Mill
does, or ever will.
We presume that respected citizen of
this village has arrived at the conclusion
that it is about as dangerous to interfere
with the domestic arrangements of the
rooster as it would be with that of
his neighbours wife. He undertook to
manage the setting of one of the mat

spurred IN the hand for his oficiousness,
and was unable to use it for number
of days. Old "Chanticleer" was prob

of .'lnsanity" that affects some speci-
mems of the genus homo under similar
circumstances.
The books for the Greensboro Library
i Association, to the number of about
one hundred have arrived and the
first drawing Of books took place on the
lst day Of August. The selections are
1 excellent, and are worthy place in any
! library in the land, We beg all the
citizens Of Greensboro, and especially
those who have families, and who have
the good of their children and the pub
i lie at heart, to come forward with their
money and influence and help in the
good work. The country is flooded with
yellow covered literature and its evil
influence on the minds of the young
readers cannot be estimated Now, this
is the time and here is. the opportunity
to give the young minds an impetus in
the right direction; to place before them
books that will ever be to them source
of pleasure and profit. By the payment
of $500 any one can become member
of the Association and have the priv
lege of the Library: or by the paymen
