1t is understood that the Rev. +. 2. Phelps
will succeed Rev. MIR. Scott, aud preach his

next Sunday evening.
The roads in the county, last weak, owing to
the warm days and ralus were almost lmpass-
able. Teamsters had TO load their horses and
then horse their loads to make their usual trips
The high Winds of Sunday placed the roads in
statu quo.
Episcopal services were held in Arlington
last Sunday by Mr.. Boynton, from the Semi

''A is not quiet on the Patowameek,' at
least in Arlington, there being quite futter
over an organ which is claimed by the tempe
rance lodge and in their possession; also by
other parties. There was a meeting called by
the latter last week pro bono pubco, but on
the evening set for the meeting the elements
were not favorable to them, so it ended not in
