GUILDHALL.

Our friends throughout the County
are requested to send us such items of
interest as may come under their OBJ
seryatlon. Remember, you have only
to furnish us with the facts to insure
the publication of local news and 9TH
er matters of interest in your COM
munity. &c..
Mr.. w. Ii. Hartshorn, of the Essex
Hotel, is putting the finishing touches
to the addition made to his hotel, and
is now ready for summer boarders
from the cities or elsewhere, to whom
We think he offers rare inducements.
The last log drive of the season,
containing about 100000 feet of
spruce, destined for the steam mill at
Lancaster, is now passing this place.
Quite a large quantity of the logs
have lodged upon the dam here, the
water not being high enough to float
them over.
The body of Franklin Poole, recent
ly drowned in the Connecticut river
at this place, was found floating down
stream near the school house in the
middle district on the morning of the
10th inst. by Mr.. B. B. Witherspoon,
as he was driving his COWS to pasture.
The friends were at once notified.
Owing to the condition of the body it
was adjudged best not to remove it
from the water until coffin could be
procuredwhich was Immediately done
he was then carried to his home and
on the evening of the same day was
buried in the cemetery in Northum-
berland, N. H. Though considerably
swollen, and somewhat bruised, the
body was fully recognized as that of
Mr.. Poole.
Conductor Dimmick informs us that
he carried 1876 passengers between
Lancaster and Groveton last Monday.
The attention of farmers and horse
ralsers is called to the advertisement
Of George M. Stevens elsewhere.
AS showing the advantages of adj
vertising,, G. C. Brooks, Agent for
the Warren Hoe, sold his entire stock
between the 10th and 22nd of May,
and most of the farmers had pur-
chased their hoes before this one was
put upon the market.
The few friends and patrons of the
Coos Republican at this place were
thrown into state of some anxiety
last Tuesday night on account of the
non-arrival of that paper as usual, and
some were even inclined to credit the
insinnation of that wicked and mali
cious obituary notice published in the
Gazette recently. 1t came all right,
however, next day; the delay having
been occasioned by the New York
half failing to reach the home office
III due season.
Mr.. James S. Meacham recently
brought to this village a hens egg
which measured 1914 by IA inches
and weighed IL ounces. Upon the
next day Thomas c. Wilson brought
III one measuring the same Weighing
8 ounces. The hens in town evidently
do not intend to be eXcelled by those
of any other neigborhood.
A GREAT HORROR Done AWAY
WITH.-House cleaning is great hor-
ror to nine men out of every ten.
When that time comes the'men folks"
as rule, give the domestic hearth
"wde berth" Oceans of suds-the
product Of tons of soap-fairly food
every part of the house The women,
from the mistress down, labor as they
never worked before, and what with
the discomfort, the smell of suds and
the dampness, and not unfreq"ently
sickness, the product of colds and
overwork, matters are generally dis
agreeable. The simple use of Sapolio
instead of soap does away with all this
discomfort. 1t lightens the labor a
hundred per cent, because it removes
dirt, grese, stains and spots, with
hardly any labor. with but little wa
ter, and in one tenth the usual time.
