Geo. r. Chapman, Esq, informs
us that he has sold nearly 100 tons of
coal in this village the past fall and
winter, and thinks that nearly 200
tons has been used in the time.
Mr.. Thomas Perry is out again,
but the strings in his neck are
pretty stiff. He had a narrow escape
from instant death.
We return thanks to VIM. w
Hill, Esq, Everybody here knows
William,) who is now dweller on
the fertile slope of Salt Creek Valley,
Kansas, for long, friendly letter, and
files of the local papers. William and
family are well, doing well, and are
located on land formerly occupied by
the Sioux Indians. He thinks Indian
is "pizen" to eastern Christians" and
says if the Government will let the
settlers ''settle" them, there would
be no more "Indian Outrages" on the
border He says when settlers are
massacraed by these 'red devils" little
is said about it, but when a Govern
ment officer like Candy is Tomahawk-
ed, shell is to pay" Mr. Hill likes
the country very much, says the grass
is well up there now, March lst,) and
he is doing his springs work. No
winter there Of any account, but old
settlers say the past one has been the
severest for many years. He sends
his respects to his Eastern friends,
and particularly to Philo Hatch, ESQ.,,
to whom he says he is indebted for
many valuable presents since he has
been sojourner in the land of the
stranger VIM. has an eye on specu-
lation yet, and says if he had money
enough to invest in stock, he would be
rich man in few years, as stock
raising is very profitable in that sec
ton Mr.. Hill has had the title,
Square, conferred on him, and now
dispenses justice to the natives.
The "fre-tiend" got into the
block in Woodstock where the Post
is printed, last week, seriously damag-
ing Samuel Smiths stock of shoes, and
soaring Perkins so that he did not
charge any of his brother editors with
lying, theft, bribery, corruption or
burglary in his last issue.-St, Johns
bury Farmer.
+. N. Billings is brushing up
his store for the spring trade. 1t is
receiving new coats of paint, varnish
&c, on the inside which will greatly
improve the general appearance.
No sugar weather. Snow nearly
gone. Some rain, and plenty of mud.
We have sent out bills to a num-
Der and ''dunned" others personally
who are owing us. Some have re-
sponded, others have not. We want
OUR money-we want it NOW.
There is more editorial and origin
al matter from correspondents in this
weeks AGE than you generally find
in country paper. 1t may not be
any better for the reader, but some of
our contemporaries lay great stress on
the word "original."
Master Edward \. Abbott, a boy of
twelve years of age, who has been in
our office about an hour a day for
three weeks, can now set five
thousand ems of loaded long primer
in less than ten hours. If any young
Or old boy, who has worked at the
business no longer than six months can
beat Master Abbott, we would like
to see him.
ANY person in want of a good
work horse Express Wagon, and
Work Harness will do well to be on
hand at the Auction, Saturdayin Hay
