Of this village hold their sugar festival

Hall. As their preparations are ample
for pleasant occasion, they will deserve
q liberal patronage.
= DR.. O. F. Woods this week an
nounces a reduction of prices in many
articles necessary to every family, and
also reduction in drugs and medicines.
III these days any such announcement
cannot fail to attract attention.
DIR. G. F. Gale of Brsttleboro is
elected liquor commissioner for this coun-
ty. several towns in the south end of the
county giving him few votes each.
Dover gave 10 votes for G orge Howe of
Brattleboro, and the total vote for COM
missioner will probably no: exceed 200.
DR.. O. F. Woods announces kero-
sene oil at 20 cents. Ii is selling at that
price at Brattleboro. If the cost of pro-
visions were down like this, the want of
labor and the sharp pinch felt by many
inthese hard times, would be very much
less
A temperance meeting was held at
the Catholic Church on Friday evening,
atNhich many pledged themselves for
temperance. They intend holding anoth-
er Similar meeting at a future time. We
truet our Catholic friends will continue
and triumph in the work begun.
The carpenters, masons and others
in this place, have an advertisement in
another column which will not fail to be
read generally, and to attract the atten-
ton of those who intend building, espec-
tally. They also express a little sound
doctrine as to doing business on a safe
basis and of employing home mechanics.
= The Boston, Barre and Gardner
railroad is new line opened in January
last, for Worcester, Providence, &c.

strike this line at Winchendon, Mass,
from the Cheshire railroad, and will find
il direct as well as very pleasant.

- Messrs Howe & Marstop, we'll
known in this section as popular hotel
keepers, appear to fully maintain their
old reputation at Brockville, Canada
West, where they now keep the Revere
House. The Brockville Recorder of that
place, in giving an account of the clos
ing of series of assemblies, gives them

with which they served their guests, and
for which Messrs. Howe & Marston are
becoming very popular" We should
expect as much and congratulate them
on their success.
- The impression, as published last
week, that in case of neglect to hold the
annual village corporation meeting, the
old officers necessarily hold over, does
