marriage Of our townsman, Morillo Noyes,
ESD, and his estimable wife. few of their
immediate relations and friends determined
to surprise them with a visit The thought

of Mr. Moves, who had been kept at home
upon a -light' pretext, and completely sur

and valuable presents brought by friends
present and sent by those unable to attend,
the party adjourned to the refreshments,
which had als1 been furnished in bounti-
ful manner without the knowledge of the

them. After spending a very agreeable
hour IN friendly conversation and tripping

with many kind wishes for the future hap
pine-s and prosperity Of the worthy couple
ia whose honor they had assembled.
Col Wilcox, prominent member Of the
Nalcou7 community, says the reports which
have recently been set afoat by the press to
the effect that the enterprise has been
abandoned are entirely without foundation,
that a considerable number of members Will

sions are expected next spring. Col. VII

hold a public meeting at Plattsburgh, when
they will air their communistic views.

and down. one child in rags, one woman
looking like slut. The men are all
mt work, the boys and girls at school.
Each cottage stands apart, with grass
and space each painted either white
or brown. White is the costlier and
most CHEEKY color, and the test of order
and responsibility is white front. Few
broken panes of glass, no shingles
hanging from the roof No yard is
left in an untidy state.
Men who live in these cottages send
then children to the grammar school
in Main street-a public school, III
which they are educated free of cost.
The school is IN attractive place, the
teaching good, and the play ground
large. If Il man requires no other than
an elementary training for his boys and
girls, this public school will give him
all they need, and send them ut an
early age into the world, equipped for
any walk in life except that of Il plo-
fessional man. If he should wish for
more, still more is open to him. The

From such an academy the road to Il
university is easy in this land of free
