little weakness perhaps it's all wickedness
for the new and the novel as an occasional
relish to steady diet of " old fellows.
| Couldn't the committee favor US with the
scintillatlons of a new star, cratic or wan
dering though it may be, in place of some d
/ these fixed lights whose rays are as eternal
and about as unchangeabe as the DEGREES ?
Miss JONES READIyG.-Miss Nettie A.
Jones gave public reaiing in Village Hall
! Saturday evening. 1t was fairly, although
not largely attended. The events of the pre-
vious lew days had been fatal to any genera
attendance upon any pu bic entertainment
/ Miss Jones reads well, although she cal
hardly be classed as the peer of Miss GREGG
/ ". With careful study and continued prac
tice she bids fair to excel in the profession
she has chosen. Her audit nee Saturday even
ing certainly wish her the highest success.
BUTTER MASNC.-We print on our fourth
page this week Hon Clark Kings essay on
- the manufacture of choice table butter,
which was read at the recent meeting of the
Board Of Agriculture in Waitsfeld III,
paper was well appreciated at that meeting
and our dairy friends will be pleased to SCI
il in print Mr.. King is practical man
and has given this butter business close ant
scientific attention. His valuable hints anc
suggestions will be found alike INSTRUCTIVE
and interesting. Tie discussion that spruD;
up after the reading of this paper is reported
to have been one of the most pleasant anC
entertaining ones of the session at Waitstield
The firm of Bosworth Brothers of Berlin,
having become dissolved by the death of j
S B0sworth, an amcable division Of most o
the partnership has been effected between
the parties in interest. To close up the re
mainder, an auction will be held on the 1Stl

WARDS INK.-We have been using for tht
past two weeks this ink, and like it much
1t flows quite as readily as Arnold's fluid
although it has more body, has about tn
same appearance when first used, and turn
to a most intense black in a few hours ate
being spread upon paper. If it shall retail
its easy flowing properties and its desirabl
color after awaiting the test of time in tn
ink stand, it will prove a success, and all re
eording officers, be they angels or of the othe
class, Will desire it. Nichols Il Williams, 0
