MECHANICS AssoCIATIoN.-Friday night
last was the regular meeting night of the
Franklin County Mechanical Association.
There were present Master Mechanic, N.
W. Wilcox; Assistant Master, a. Fass-
nacht; Secretary, w. j. Slater; Trcasu-
rcr. IT. Merritt, and Janitor, j. G. Led
don, and Il number of mechanics besides.
After the transaction of necessary bust
ness, the Association went into the cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing term, which
resulted as follows:
Master Mech dhic-A. FaSsnacht.
Assistant Mcchanic-N. W. Wilcox.
Secretdry-W j. SLATER.
~1rcoswer--J. 7. Merritt.
LiJrdridn-J. i. llokc.
.Juut0r-J. G.. Lcddon.
1t was ordered that the Secretary re-
quest the loan of any book friendly-dls-
posed persons may see'tit to loan the As9o-
citation, and give II receipt for the same,
subject to the order of the leader.
This was about all the business done
which concerns the public, and we have
only to add our fervcnt wish for the pros
perity of the Association. The mechanics
need all the work thu y can get. BY such
a course you keep money at home, assist

MuNIcIPAL,--On Saturday next the vo-
tiers of the corporation of Winchester VIII
have the privilege Of clccting Il Mayor and
eight Aldermen to superintcnd the inter-
csts OF this town for the year 1873. We
earnestly hope that the said voters will
turn out en- masSe and elccta good man for
Mayor-such II man as Jesse II, Merritt or
some other equally rs good man. We men
ton him because he is the only man be-
tore the people for the office. ana not that
our corporation has no other man equally
comprtcnt, But Jesse 7. Merritt viii
make as good Il Mayor as we ever had' ana
up to this Whiting we are thoroughly for
HIM. And now, more important than all
we want eight substantial Aldermen
What we mean by substantial Aldermen
is this: We want eight men who will
look forrard a lhle. Why, sirs, Winches-
ter ought to be aIhamcd of herself. Look
ut our streets! They are nothing less than
so many evidences of shame, just AS they
are slushcs OF mud and filth. We mean no
reflection upon the outgoing Board for
the members thcreOfha v done very much
toward bringing about II better state OF
things. But, to come to the point aI once'
vc wish TO state that Just now the
rorpOration. for Il wonder. Is about ont OF
debt, and we had hoped to show, by 4 tab

nancially. But the retiring Board will
make the exhibit in our next issue. 1t Is
sufficient, however, to say that the corpor-
alton is about out ofdcbt, and there yet re-
mains Il goodly amount of uncollcctcd
taxes. Now, under the powers granted
the corporation there need be no doubt as
to the forciblc collection of said unpaid
axes. Heretofore there has been too
much lcniency shown taxpayers. until,
forsootl, a great number of persons run

Getting Rid of SHOTS.

CIVIL you kindly inform me-" asks a
correspondent, chow I can remove dis
colored spots from my face ? I suppose
they are caused by some disorder of the
liver, though I have no pain except
through the shoulder-blades. If you
will kindly give me valuable advice,
you will confer a lasting favor"
Dio Lewis says in answer I have no
doubt whatever that your opinion about
the agency of the liver is entirely cor
rect, and this opinion receives support
from the pains about your shoulder
blades. The treatment, I presume,
should be about the following
l. Very little grease, no pies, cakes OF
sweetmeats, and a profusion of the
fruits, grapes, &C., with which Cali
fornia abounds.
2. A regular morning bath, with soap
and water, accompanied with much fric.
ton of the skin, and vigorous use OF
hair gloves over the entire person on
going to bed at night.
3. Living as much as possible in the
open air and sunshine, always maintain
ing good circulation in the legs anC
feet by thick fannels and broad-soleC
shoes.
4. Retire before nine o'clock every
night, and get up in the morning whe1
you feel like it; and lie down an hour il
the middle of the day before dinner
and, if possible, sleep.

The Arlington Estate.

Mrs. Lee. widow of Gen. Robert E.
Lee, has been stopping few days at
Alexandria, where she was interviewed
by a reporter of the Republican. In
regard to the Arlington estate she
makes the following statement: "Her
father, George Washington Parks Gus
tbs, dying in 1857, gave to Mrs. Lee by
his will the entire Arlington estate.
The terms of the will vested the
property in her absolutely. Beyond
the simple duties of an executor, Gen.
Lee had no control of the property, and
never, either before or since, assumed
or attempted to assume a single right
of ownership" 1t was further ascer-
tanned, from Mrs. Lee herself, that not
only was Arlington her unqualified be-
quest from her father, but that Gen.
Lee never participated in any way in
its ownership nor control, always re-
fusing to arbitrate in important matters
relating to it, and from the termination
of the war to the date of his death, he
constantly avoided any authority, con-
troll, right or independence relative to
the estate, and refused to act concern
ing it in any way. Mrs. Lee is remark
ed as having conversed freely on the
subject of the estate without any shade
of bitterness, to have spoken highly of
President Grant, and as not expecting
the estate to be diverted from its present
use as cemetery, though she lays
claim to some remuneration for its
value.

RusSia's World ExnOSitiOn.

An exhibition more wonderful and in
teresting than that at Vienna will be
held in Russia about the middle of
August. The scene of its operations is
the historic city of Niinii-Novgorod,
which is situated at the confluence of
the Volga and the Okla, in Central Asia.
The ordinary population of the city is
about $4,000 inhabitants, but during
the fair that number will augmented
by an addition of 100000 or 100000
visitors from all parts of Europe and
Asia. The fair is held in an immense
stone building containing 1900 shops,
in which the sales are made. One
hundred and forty-fve million dollars
worth of wares and goods were brought
to last years fair, and out of that i'm
mense quantity only $2O,0O0,O0O worth
remained unsold. All kinds of goods
and manufactures are so d at this nam
moth fair, and an opportunity will be
afforded for seeing collected together
the people of all countries, and the
modes of traffic of every race in Europe.

A Summer Morning in Normandy,

The following is from the pen of an
accomplished traveller: Do you know
the coast of Normandy? 1t is coun-
try that everybody thinks he knows
well. We have all been to Dieppe, some
even to Havre. Dear friends, this is
really not enough. What you do not
know is the existence of dozen little
watering places between Havre and
Boulogne, all charming, all quiet, all
entirely French. These secluded re-
treats are like the triangles in the sixth
book of Euclid's immortal work-they
are all similar, and similarly situated.
Where the sea runs in and makes bay,
where river runs down and mingles
the fresh with the salt, where the cliffs
on either side stoop to the earth and
disappear in space, there lies the little
fishing town. What it must be like in
winter, imagination vainly endeavors to
realize butin in summer, between June
and October, there are no pleasanter
places for quiet folk to stay in. Right
and left the cliffs rise to height of some
hundreds of feet. You climb them in
the morning after your coffee and
brioche, and stride away in the fresh
upland air, with the grass under your
feet and the woods behind. AS you &c
along, you see the girls milking tho
sleepy-eyed Norman cows, you salute
the women going to market with theii
baskets, you listen to the lark, yor
watch the blue sea far away beyond
with perhaps a little feet of fishing
hoota

Chinese 0bStindcy.

The Mongols, says the San Francisco
call, have determined upon the policy
of worrying the authorities in their at.
tempt to enforce the ordinance prohibit
ing the unwholesome crowding of lodg-
ing-houses, in the hope of rendering
the effort futile. The large gang brought
up and fined recently, with the rein
forcements, have completely filled
the prison accommodations, and if the
crusade is continued, the battle-ground
or some other spacious enclosure will
have to be utilized for their confne-
ment. A few were inclined to pay the
fines imposed, but were prevented from
doing so by the commands of the lead
ing men in the Chinese quarters, who
declared in substance that they would
make the city sick of prosecuting and
maintaining Cinnamon in prison under
this ordinance. After clearing out pes
tilence-breeding den on Jackson street,
few nights since, and taking the
occupants to the city prison, one oil
the officers returned to the place for the
purpose of measuring its dimensions.
He was somewhat surprised to find the
den more densely packed with dodgers
than on the occasion of his first visit,
and all apparently waiting to be arrest
ed.
