LEICESTER.

j. E. Parker, and L. T. Cloyes of
Whiting, left the Junction this morning
with three carloads of merino sheep,
destined for California, via Montreal and
Ogdensburg. They will be gone some
six or eight weeks. Their cars were
rugged for comfort, having sleeping
berths, table, etc., and everything in
complete order for the convenience OF
themselves and animals. We wish them
success and safe journey.
-Messrs. Holt & Hawkins of Sails
bury are sending all their spools to the
Junction now, and also receive from
three to five carloads of birch, sawed and
ready for making spools, etc., from
Hague This is turned into spools and
match-boxes and shipped to New York.
They find the road from Salisbury to the
Junction very much better and easier
than to West Salisbury.
The lime company are having an
extra call for lime this season, and are
now running three mills to supply the
demand, being still behind in orders.
They have shipped, in the last nine days,
1896 bushels.
Mr.. VIM. Powers has made, from
the 1st of May to the 10Th of August,
from ten cows, 1000 pounds of butter,
besides selling and using six quarts of
milk per day.
Mr.. Charles Fisk has been getting
out a large block of marble on his place,
which he intends to have sawed up, and.
| if it proves as good as it looks now, will
be valuable, as it is of fine quality, and
will be used for sculpturing purposes.

MOUNT HOLLY.
The Baptist chuch in Mt. Holly,
Rev. J. Clement, pastor, has exceedingly
prospered latterly. On the 18th OF
July two were baptised; July Goth, an
old man, rs years old, submitted himself
to the ordinance of baptism; on Aug
ust 10th, three more were baptised, two
| by Mr.. Clement, and the Rev. Mr.. Dean,
former pastor, baptising his daughter.
| 1t is hoped that but a commencement of
| the work has been seen. c.
DOVER.
The reunion of one of our old fam
lilies on the 22d, viz, that of Mrs. Sallie
| w. Russell, widow of Jason Russell,
deceased, was a very pleasant affair.
Her nine children brought (seven of
them) their wives and husbands and
! their twelve (grand) children, two of
whom brought the first fruits of yet an
| other generation, in the shape of two
| Observation-Disclosures total family of
thirty, with the original mother. They
came to celebrate her siXty-tfrst birth
day. We looked upon the hiUe, radiant
with health, resounding with child-life
and overlooking with happiness, and
said within Ourselves-Oh, mother af-
ter all, thy life has not been in vain.
Love is its own reward Would there
was more such families to assemble and
more such reunions in our land.
CHESTER.
The members of the First Univer-
salist church and parish have secured
the services of Rev. +. J. Chaiffee for
the ensuing year. They remunerate him
with filthy lucre" to the amount of
$500.
The following changes in real estate
have been made since our last report.
Jason Wilson, of Worcester, Mass, has
sold the 'Benj. Dwinnell" farm to Geo.
A. Hall for 50, 500 Miss Zylpha Chand-
Ter has purchase the Asa Davis property
on Main street, paying therefor 81, 200;
Romance C. Marshall has sold his farm
to J. n. Foster, of Weston.
Detective George Durham. of New
Bedford. Mass, arrived in town, Thurs
day evening, and pulled" a young typo,
who has recently been at work in the
office of the New Bedford Mercury, for
obtaining money by a too free use of the
names of Fessenden Il Baker, of said
city. The sum obtained is small, but it
is large enough to secure for the young
man immunity from worldly cares for
a long time. 1t is suspicioned that the
person arrested is implicated in a robbery
which has recently been committed in
said city, and the detective was in town
Saturday, endeavOring to gain some in
formation in regard to said robbery.
Aided by poor rum, an itinerant painter,
who possessed more bowels than brains.
made himself painfully conspicuous in
the above affair, and rs penalty for his
folly spent Friday night in the lookup
at Bellows Falls, and narrowly escaped
being sent to State Prison. We advise
him to hereafter attend to his legitimate
business and not interest himself in his
neighbors affairs.
Friday was a "fcld" day for the ho-
tells in this town. Among the names regis
tered at Coles Central Hotel, we noticed
the following Gen. G. b. StoughtOn,
and wife, Col. S. King. Alderman J. J.
Ash, Miss Williams, New York city f.
Leayenworth, Kansas; Rev. and Mrs.
c. E. Odgen, Bellows Falls; 7. r. Full
Ter, New Bedford, and party of fifteen
ladies and gentlemen from Westminis-
ter.
AT the Chester House a large num-
Der of the deciples of Blackstone were
registered, among whom we noticed
Hon. VIM. II. Walker and Hon. &. B.
Eddy, added to these were the fathers
of the towns of Rockingham, Springfield
and Rockingham, and others of less
note.
We are pleased to welcome home
Mr.. A. y. Deming, correspondent of the |
Globe. We think we detect a little |
''crookedness" in the ''Optics' of our
caused. no doubt, by the wind |
ing ways of Marblehead. We trust this |
atfiiction is not permanent, as it will Sc
riously interfere with his duties as re- |
porter for said paper, although we no.
tice that nearly all connected with said |
journal are troubled more or less in their |
visionary schemes, if not in their
dreams
During heated political campaign |
very many bitter things are written, that /
are source of annoyance to the authors, |
after the ''smoke of battle" has cleared |
away, but we did not suppose that even
political enemy could stoop to such |
petty meanness as to taunt a man about |
his "old clothes"
