Why Marriages Decrease.

The falling oil in marriages is found
in the centres of population. where the
needs of life press hard. The old-fash-

been losing ground in these places.

of school expressly for the worst 81 ass

fire it off to the no small CONSERVATION
of the rest OF the school. After Jan
uary 1st, such feats will be liable to a
fine Of fifty dollars.

M. w. Perham has gained his suit
against Spaulding, whose horse, it will
be rocollected, stabbed Perham's horse
to death with a sleigh shaft, sometime
last winter. The evidence showed that
Perham had a right to travel on the
right side of the road, and the jury
awarded him 5000 damages. Now
that we are on the road business, we
beg to call attention to piece of pub
lie highway in this town; piece of
road leading from the main road to
one McAllister's house. An Alpine
goat couldn't travel this road with
safety; it mounts lodges 1000 feet
above the bottom Of the ocean it has
curves so sharp that a sober man can
not tell whether he is going or coming.
We had occasion to drive over this
road once: we managed to get to our
destination, but the trip made us round
shouldered for life. We returned on
our hands and knees. Quite large
lot of farm property-stock, produce
and farming utensils-was sold at auc-
ton over there before the snow came
most of this property was left on the
premises now it is wanted, but no
man can get there. Whose business
is it?
There really seems to be more
business than talk in the Chester Build
ing Association. Men have got hold
Of this thing who are not abashed at
the appearance Of hostile fly. We
understand all arrangements for build
ing in the spring or summer are per-
fected, except that the location is not
determined upon. We do not know
however, whether the building is to
be used for Boot or Billiard business.

there is a cause; here the benumbed
