EDITOR PRESS. Under the above
heading "a Friend informs the public
in your issue of the 30th ult. that this
institution sis to have new impulse
a new send off, Perhaps the friends
of the enterprise would have been
more gratifed if A Friend had
more clearly determined to your rea-
ders the nature of the 'new impulse"
and where the "new send Off would
bring up. Or in other words if he had
edge of the Directory of the Society and
by authority. We know that the COM
munication in question has not been
gratifying to very many of the Stock
holders and other friends of the society,
embracing as it does inuendoes and COW
ert charges against the former Secreta-
ries who fortunately for the society but
unfortunately for themselves have held
that position. "a Friend" says-among
| the new measures relied upon, | mention
this one, to-wit: ''The Secretary is to be
charged with the number of tickets re-
eeived from the Board, and is to return
the tickets not sold and be responsible
for the remainder" Here is an inslnu-
alton which virtually says to the public
that the great source of failure and
want of financial success is chargeable
to fraud in the ticket arrangements and
that the Secretaries have been dishonest
and guilty of mal-feasance in office and
have defrauded the society by not ac
counting for or paying over the money
for all tickets sold-no other conclusion
"a Friend" has mooted the ticket ar
rangement which seems to be the on
pre-eminent idea of success in his minC
though he gives us several more idea
y than he promised in his outset. He ev
identity has been suspicious of the hon
esty of the former Secretaries and think
, this new measure if it makes not honest
will prevent fraud. 1t is we'll estah
, lished maxim that "they who are tn
t most suspicious of others, will bear, an

The supper given at the Town H all,
on Wednesday evening last, for the ben
eft Of the Somerset Fair, was literally
patronized. Quite number of persons
from the surrounding country came in,
and encouraged the managers by their
presence. The ladies of town industri-
ously assisted in decorating the Hall and
spreading the tables, of which latter
there were five large ones filed with all
manner of substantial and delicate food
Everybody seemed to enjoy the affair
hugely. Good music enlivelled the oc-
casion, and all was merriment and good
humor It was an enjoyable affair, and
may be put upon the record as pro6ta

Who will move in the matter of Sc
curing the completion of pike between
this place and some suitable point in the
vicinity of the coal banks a few miles
south and south east of town? We be-
lieve that no very great effort would be
necessary to secure the cooperation of
tho people living in the vicinity of the
mines and along the road, in support of
the undertaking. If several of our in
fuential and public spirited citizens
would devote some little time in presen-
ting the matter to the people, we have
no doubt, but that the success of the en-
terprise would be assured. Such work
would be mighty convenience TO the
farmers along its line, as well as to the
proprietors of coal banks, teamsters, and
the citizens Of our town.

4 Lost Committee.

At meeting held several months ago
for the purpose of taking action in the
matter of buying a fire engine for our
village, it was deemed advisable, owing
to an amazing diversity of opinion
among those in attendance as to the
kind Of machine to purchase, to appoint
a committee whose duty it should be to
peraLbulate the village, and ascertain
