GENERAL

Friend Pay us what thou owest, that
we may be enabled to keep Christmas
with the spirit and the understanding.
The next meeting of the St. Johns
bury District Ministerial Association
will be holden at Lyndon, commencing
January llth, 1875.
In our next paper we shall commence
the the publication of continued story
entitled. "FRONI," that will last for
three or four weeks. which we hope
will please our story readers.
The Barton Monitor claims that "a johnny, has
presented the editor Of that paper with hens egg
which measures fifteen inches around and then saws
be thinks the hen insane. He had better accuse the
editor Of insanity for making such a satement.-Bur-
Lnqton Clipper.
Pshaw, brother Kinsley, you didn't
read straight. The Monitor made no
such statement. We said the egg meas
ured fifteen inches, both aoays Eight
inches one way and seven the other.)
Seven and eight are fifteen; don't you
see? e..--..
Congress devoted last week chiefly to
the perfection of the appropriation bills.
There is very general reduction of APP
preparations for all purposes, and this
session of Congress will be notable for
its economy. The king of the Sandwich
Islands is on visit to the United States,
and was honored by an interview with
the President Congress and the heads
of the several departments, during the
week. Harper'S Week{y gave portrait
picture of the King, last week, which
represents him as being good looking
negro. He is being lionized abundantly
in the United States.
NO PAPER NEXT WEEK.
On account of Christmas, the hurry
Of job work, and the absence Of part Of
our help, we have concluded not to issue
a paper next week. AS We have no
missed a number for three years, W.
trust our readers will not find fault i
We take a little rest, as they will los,
nothing by it, we shall give them credi
for one week advance of the time nov
paid for. -
