Heaven, do you desert the Republican

why erect new platform out of old

adopted by this Committee, requiring candi-
dates for nomination TO indorse the platform
OF the Independent State Convention, shall
not apply to nominees for Municipal offices,
and that no pledge whatever be required OF

ty in this city is Ito quote the quaint

tinue to unload until the Ides of Sep
tenlber leave not q wreck of the Inde-
pendent party to tell tale of its de-
feat. Please, sir, take my advice,
and come back to your first love, the
Republican party, ere it is too late.
General, we need all the Brigade
Commanders to carry on this politi-
cal campaign; do not desert the Re
publican party Of progressive liberty,
and like Benedict Arnold, go over to
the enemy; whatever other faint
hearted Republicans may do, if any, I
do assure you the intelligent colored
voters of this city and State will not
support yon or your ticket-not much!

Miss n Semira Farr has been induced
by the friends and patrons of her school
to give it the name of Maple Wood In
stitute. The excellence of her school is
such that it is no doubt well worthy the
name, and the spring term is announced
in another place.
The Westminster Farmers Club met
with Messrs. Sleeper d Chase and dis.
cussed the subject of " Would it be for
the interest of the people of Westmin-
ster to raise more than nine cents on the
dollar, for the support of our common
schools" After discussion it was decided
to continue the same subject at the next
meeting, and to meet with Mr.. Fenelon
Arnold, on Friday evening of next week,
Feb. 9th.
A splendid entertainment and recep-
ton was given by Mr.. and Mrs. Coombs
at their residence in the north district
of the east parish of Westminster, on
New Years eve. At the appointed hour
some fifty couples consisting of all
their neighbors and many of their friends
and relatives from several of the adioin-
ing towns-assembled in their spacious
hall which was brilliantly illuminated
and most deliberately ornamented with
wreaths and garlands Of flowers, and
pictures rich and rare, furnished regard
less of expense for this most brilliant oc-
casion. AT precisely seven the silvery
notes from Abbot's Orchestra gave the
pleasing announcement that dancing
would be the order of the hour, when ac-
eordingly all joined in the grand march
around the hall and passed up in lines
and TOOK their places with military pre-

was by far the most brilliant entertain
