Fairhaven's fast horses. Less than week
letters came enquiring about them. Now
two of them have been sold for some 1900
dollars, another is hesitating on an offer
of $1,000, and John w. Cramton is still
here improving daily, and Gray hound
promenades over streets daily with head
erect as much as to say / am worth $4,000
and shall without doubt beat Goldsmith
maid some day.
Fairhaven thinks she can boast of as
good musician for his age as any town in
the state. Mr.. Ira j. Willard for years
has made music study for recreation.
He has followed after Isaac Walton, until
he has become an expert angler. On Tues
day afternoon he left his practice went
fishing and caught fish weighing about
10 lbs. He was SO elated with his success
that he took his fish alive to the depot and
took it to Troy with him on the 40 train.
Old residents here say some 40 years ago
Mr.. Cyrus Whipple caught fish here of
the same family which weighed some l3
lbs. Our best fishermen say there are but
two more Of this family of fish to be caught,
and it will require good angler to catch
them at least they will not notice common
bait. 9.
MECHANIcsvILLE.
Ira Clark of Mount Holly was possessed
of eve sheep April 18th, 1875, and she
had a lamb, some ten days afterward she

Weather is fine, and farmers are now
busiy engaged planting.
The Gilt Edge cheese factory now owned
by Ira Edmunds is run this season by f.
Brownsville, one of the best cheese max
ers in the state.
The Oldest man now living in town, who
was born here is Mr.. Isaac Nichols, being
in his e5th year. On his S4th birthday he
was presented with fine and costly car
rage. by his son Henry, who resides in
Ohio, but now on visit to his father. The
carriage was sent from Ohio, and was in
tended to arrive on Mr. Nichols birthday.
but for some reason did not arrive until
two or three days after. His son Henry is
65 years of age, and but few men of bis
age have father living. Mr.. Nichols is
now in good health, residing on the farm
where he was horn and always lived, sur
rounded by friends, and those he loves,
enjoying the fruits of former years of in
dustry; the evening of his life gliding peace
fully and quietly away.
c. Z. Cook is having good trade this
nursery of Mr.. +. Ross, Poultney. We
noticed him in town yesterday with load
of distribution. Mr.. Ross has fine nur-
sery of about 5000 trees, of all kinds adapt
ed to this climate. Fruit growers in this
vicinity, would do much better to get trees
of him, than to order of agents from Ro-
chester, or other nurseries, trees with no
roots, and not adapted to our soil and eli
mate. J. c, W.

The principal topic of conversation in
this vicinity, especially among the agricul-
tural part of the community, is the extreme
Dackwardness nf the season. Scarcely
any planting has yet been done.
Snow banks are yet visible upon the
slope of the mountain, and unless the Their

Decoration day, as usual, will be appro-
priately observed at this place. The men,
bers of the G. A. r. are already busy in
the way of making preparation for the ap-
preaching anniversary. They have been
fortunate in securing the services of Col.
Aldace F. Walker of Rutland, as orator for
the occasion. The reputation of the Col.
as an eloquent and effective speaker, is
fully established in the minds of those who
have hitherto listened to his well consid-
cred efforts. The "Altimont Cornet Band"
will put in their very best appearance on
this occasion, wearing for the first time
their new and superb uniforms, which have
just been procured at an expense that tai
lies among the hundreds These features
connected with the celebration at this place,
should make it the objective point for all
who are situated so they can, and are in
tending to devote the day to the object for
which it has been set apart.

S. p. Flagg is reported TO be on the
gain. There is very great dearth of
sensational items. The people are too busy
with their own affairs to get up any broils
with their neighbors; there is no place
where the "ardent' can be had; conse-
