Let all who feel an interest in the matter
Of having a steam fire engine for better
protection attend the village meeting called
for one week from Monday evening Aud
remember that it will pay better to get such
an engine before great fire than after.

ant visit from their friends last Friday eve-

Orrin Poland was brought before Justice

% offenses were proved against him, but in
the hone that he would do better in the fu-
ture he was only fined for two ofepses -
$40 fine and S25l1 costs. He produced
the tin and went back to his saloon.
The greatest religious revival we ever wit
messed is progressing in the state, and the
center seems to be in st. Johusbury. The
move is by no means ended The gentlemen
from Boston who were here week or two
ago are to come again Sunday, and remain a
number of days. We really hope and ex-
pect much good will result, and trust all who
have made professions may remember that
these will count for nothing unless they are
accompanied by good deeds. ...
While we believe in the promise of Christ
where two or three agree touching any
thing they shall ask for, we do not think
enough good is done to counterbalance the
evil effect when an individual, or half doz-
en- individuals, are named in a public aud
fence as subjects for prayers. For instance,
when PRAYERS we're asked for the police,
some time ago, for the ioremen in the scale
works. and since then for the FARMER office,
though the mover was doubtless actuated by
the best OF motives, we cannot commend his
Judgment. We think none of the parties
will deny their need of prayers, but the end
could be secured in less repugnant way
than naming them in public meeting, and
would probably have had more effect so.
That Railroad Street bank seems bound
to come. A preliminary meeting was hold
en- at the Avenue House, Wednesday. N.
NJ. johnson was chosen chairman and Albert
Harris secretary. Geo. W. Ely moved
THAT we proceed to organize under capt.
tai of S300,000." DIR. Billiard moved in
amendment, That We proceed to appoint
commissioners to open the books aud solicit
stock for said bank, aud that the books be
opened for $4,000, to be increased if de
sired to 100000" The amendment was
adopted and the motion carried unanimous
". On motion of A. NJ. Dickey, Esq.
DIR. G. B. Billiard, Hon. Peter Buchanan
and Henry Ely were appointed committee
to make nominations for commissioners. The
committee reported the names of COL Frede
rick Fletcher, Geo. w. Ely, A. NJ. Dickey
of St. Johusbury, j. D. Abbott, of Danvle
and Chas. A. Sylvester, of st. Johnsbury
and they were elected. 1t seemed pretty
evident that great abundance Of capita
would be Forthcoming, and the bank Ii
looked upon as assured.
Here is the way the Newport Express
talks about Harry Golden, who lecturcC
here last week "There is a class Of dead
beats travelling the country, especially II
hard times, who attempt to exc out a lvlnI
by lecturing on temperance. One OF Thu
class, Harry Golden, who claimed to be q
reformed drunkard, had been sold to cir
Gus company at the age oil five years, an'
passed through thrilling experiences, worme'
himself in here last Sabbath and got hear
ing at the Methodist yestry. He spoke
short time, and being subject to fits, ende
his entertainment with one. Whether thes
fits are part of the programme each tim
we are unable to say. We do not wish
do the young man injustice nor throw an
hindrances 10 the way Of any who are hor
esty trying to do good in the temperate
work, bat from what we saw and have hear
Of this Golden he is fraud" We under
stand his lecture here netted him some 81
lie is said to have applied to one of III
Msssrs. Fairbanks for help. Mr.. +. CAV
him written address Of man who woul
help him. Ga making enquiries Golde
found he had been directed to the oversee
Of the poor, and he was mad.
