The financial crash reached us. We
felt the stifle of its weight. Men read with
blank countenances and breathless silence
of the sale of stocks trembllngly re-read
of closing of banks and suspension of busi-
ness; talked in an undcrtone of what
awaited us; felt of their pocket-book and
concluded IL was real But at morn and
night their flocks reminded them of values
which were not Wall streets, and of
dependence that gave them independ-
ence, till they held the fright as a fancy,
and more lightly still, till they rallied
yes, rallied-and buried the monster in
depth of two feet and half of snow. Now
they talk of the snow, and are conscious
that their horror was merely sympathy
with capitalists, bankers and stockholders,
who deal in paper tissue and coins, the val
ues of which sometimes fall, and in which
there is much uncertainty.
In noting the prosperity of the place
we would mention the erection of dwell
ing house by Lorenzo Bush, opposite his
mill. Also an additional chimney and the
sight of new boards at VIM. Adams's.

be one of the largest swarms ever discover
ed in this part of the country, having over
40 lbs. of honey. This was rare luck for

times greater that wild swarm in this

much as 100.
AT a towu(meeting of the town of New
fame, held here Dec. 1st, 1873, the select
mems report of our financial condition
showed balance against the town of S4379,
TO be provided for by taxation. After due
consideration and explanation it was DEEM
ed advisable, on account of the present
stringency of the money market, to pay
only a part of the debt at present. Accord
ingly we voted to raise 6j cents on the dol
lar for town purposes. This, in connection
with the state tax, will make it necessary
for every tax payer to meet the collector
with dollar on a dollar for their grand
list. Most other matters that came up for
consideration were local district affairs.
