Town Meeting.-A very quiet town meeting was held in this town last Monday. About one third of the full vote of the town was boiled, and the democratic ticket was elected as usual. The following is a summary of the business of the meeting ::
 It was voted to lay tax of one cent on dollar to defray expenses of the town for ensuing year, after which spirit of re- trenchment in the cost of ''running the town" seemed to pervade the atmosphere, and before it was cleared away, the salaries of several of the towns good and faithful servants were pretty severely shorn. It was voted to reduce the remuneration of the town clerk from $500 per day to $2. .oo. The Board of Relief was officially request ed to be in deed, as well ss in name, a board of relief, relieving the town of the burden of paying them for their labors $s. co per day, receiving $l.O0 per diem in- stead, as was also the price named and vo- ted to be paid to the Registrars of voters and their deputies.
 After due consideration the town refused to relieve MT. Horace Kelsey on bis tax of 1874
 The repairs of roads was. as last year, placed under the supervision of the select men. .,
 Res0l0ed, That at future annual town meetings, the reports of the selectmen and school visitors be presented and acted upon at o'clock p. m.
 Resol0ed, That Hon. Wm. Barnum, Hon. A. H. Holley and Robert Little, Esq, be a committee to investigate and inquire into the necessity of building a town hall. and fire proof vault for the safe keeping of the Probate and Town records, and cause to be made plan or plans of the same and their probable cost and expense Also to ascertain what arrangement or settlement can be made with John H. Coffing, EsqH and the heirs of George Coffing, deceased, in reference to their interest in the present town hall and property, and report thereon to the town at a future town meeting.
 No. of the Constitutional Amendments received the entire vote, 268, and No. ?, 237 for and 3l against it. These amend ments read as follows:

DEATH OF AMERICAN G1RL.'-The ia

DEATH OF AMERICAN GIRL.'-Thc ia. nous trotting mare American Girl fell dead Saturday afternoon in the first heat in the free for all race on the Elmira driving park. SEe was being driven by John L Doty, and appeared at the start to be in the very best condition. The horses were scored a number of times before they got the word. The Girl. at the first turn, was nicely ahead. At this point her driver no- ticed that she seemed to be giving out and let her head loose. She kept staggering for an eighth of mile, and at the quarter pole fell and died instantly without a strug- gle. She fell very easily, with her shoul- der against the fence. The incident exci- ted great deal of sympathy, as the marc was great favorite and had been the chief attraction for the trotting. The Elmira Driving Park Association proposes, should the body be left there, to erect $1OO0 monument to the memory of American Girl There was no insurance on the mare. American Girl was owned by MT. William Lowell of New York, and was by Amos Cassius NJ. Clay, Jr., out of an unknown mare. She began trotting in 1868, when Goldsmith Maid beat her at Poughkeepsie. She had been trotting every season since, and had been probably handled by more trainers and drivers than any other trottel in the country. She was very promising up to the time when she was said to have been poisoned in Philadelphia. after which it took several seasons to bring her into | form again. Her best record was made on the Island Park course near Albany, Sep tember 18th, 1874, when she beat Camors (deceased), in 2.2O l-2. 2.16 1-2 and 2.19 She had been constantly at work this year
 and her death is serious loss, for as z brood mare she would have been invalua- ble. Mr. Lowell valued her at 1925, 900, ht having been offered $40, ,0OO for her on sev eral occasions. She was said to have beer thirteen years old, and was certainly very popular in every section of the country She did some of her best trotting on Char ter Oak Park in Hartford, and in the fal meeting was beaten by Hopeful in the fret for all class in 2.l7 34, 2.lS l.4 and 2.l' l IA

A MIRROR IN THE MooN A most re- msrkable discovery Is reported from the as- tronomlcal observation established by the Russian government several years ago at Pamlateska, the highest point with one ex- ception on tho Himalaya range. For sev- eral months peculiar bright spot had been discovered, shining from the extreme edge of the moons disc at point where no mountains break the continuity of it's per imeter. This light suddenly disappeared and remained invisible for nearly twelve months. It has lately reappeared in great CT brillisncy than ever, and the immense power of the telescope attached to the above observatory, so well known in the scientific world, ,has developed the fact that the light proceeds from some huge bur must be at least 100 feet In diameter. The most astonishing thing in the matter is the almost complete proof that this is actually a mirror of artificial construction, and the the theory of the sayans at Pamlateska is, that it is erected for observations of a sci entifc character, principally to observe the phases of the earth's surface.
 It is we'll known that the immense height of that portion of the moon which is turned toward the earth, not only, through the well known laws of gravitation, keeps that portion of her surface presented toward us, but also renders it uninhabitabie. It is sup posed that the side turned from us may have an atmosphere suitable for an animal lite, and that intelligent beings observing the halo of light shed around it's horizon by reflections from the earth, may have taken this means to ascertain .he cause. Some ingenious device to place mirror at a height where animal life could not be sus- tained. was the result. It is to benhoped that this discovery may lead to others in re- gard to cur interesting satellite.

SsOld Lang Syne.''

FRIEND PEAsE.-I have noticed in your paper within the past few months that the old people in Litchfield county, Conn. ,have had several gatherings to commemorate diff ferent occasions, and it has given me great pleasure 10 read them and I hope that if they are SO dear to others as they are to me that your correspondents will not forget to send notice of the same to you, so the same may find it's way into PHR NEWS. As I read and re.read the account of the cele- hration of the golden wedding of MT. and Mrs. Horace Landon of Chapinville, it caused my mind to revisit Old Connecticut and to think of the many happy hours I had spent Tn the pleasant sunshine and among the hills and valleys of that dear old state; and felt that on such occasions it would be just and proper to sing that old familiar song called old Lang Syne'; and what made it seem to me most appropriate was because Mir. and Mrs. Moses Wells of Illinois were there, so that old friends from far and near were gathered together on such an occasion, and how happy they must have been. JACK. Kankakee, H., Sept. 2sth, 1875. OLD LANG sYNR. Should old acquaintance be forgot
 And never brought to mlnd, Should old acquaintance be forgot | And days of old Lang Syne. CHo.-For old Lang Syne, my friend, For old Lang Syne, We'll join the hand of kindness yet,
 For old Lang Syne. Our fathers here their dwellings rearer'i
 In social state combined,
 The opening fields their labors cleared
 In days of old Lang Syne.-CHo. Their temple on the plain arose
 Faiths pure, the humble shrine; And thence to heaven their thoughts went
 In days of old Lang syne.-CHo. The school house by it's side appears
 To form the youthful mind A wise and cultured race to rear
 In days of old Lang Syne.-CHo. The flood that thundered down the steep, And shook the forest pine,
 They bade the useful mill wheel drive,
 In days of old Lang Syne.-CHo. The solitary place was glad,
 The wilderness declined,
 The desert blossomed as the rose,
 In days of old Lang Syne.-CHo. There are our ancient fathers now
 Those men of sturdy mind And generations that have come
 Since days of old Lang Syne.-CHo. The sturdy men of yore are gone,
 And brothers in their prime; The loved and good have passed away
 Since days of old Lang Syne.-Cuo. And we are passing onward, too,
 Borne on the stream of time, But oft will think with grateful joy
 Of days of old Lang Syne.-CHo. ..s Our fathers God be Thou our Guide,
 And on our pathway shine,
 Till Tn the joyful realms above We sing of old Lang Syne.-CHo,

Conway, the butcher, has since imported one, (which must be good one, as 'tis reported to weigh IA pounds 8 ounces,) so now we can count two. Then up on the Plain Edgar Shears has added to his family little daughter, so we expect to see that census man around again soon for reports......The Sunday School Teach ers' Institute is held here this week Tues. day in the Congregational church.

MR. Mo0DY.-A sketch of Mir. Dwight L. Moody. the famous revival preacher, in the Phreeologteal Journal, describes that remarkable person as every inch live man, entirely consecrated to his work ,soul, spirit and body. He has all Lis wits about him and full control of his powers, with a great amount of vital stock, animal life, phYsieal strength and nervous susceptlbili- ty. He is as conscious of his strength as he is of his weakness and dependence on a higher power. He not only loves to work, but knows how to create work and set oth- CTS at 1t. His powerful muscular frame helps to give him confidence in himself ,and disposes him to take hold of his work in a masterly manner. His large heart and ample amount of blood make him warm and emotional. He is highly and broadly developed in the crown of his head. He is ambitious to succeed in whatever he at = tempts, and does not mean to be outdone by any man. As man among men he has the feeling of master and is disposed to direct others and take the responsibility. He does not trifle, nor will he be trifled with-must be at the head of his own af- fairs. His mind is of wholesale rather than of retail character. He can give off broad ideas and general principles, and in whole loaYes better than in crumbs. His strength lies in himself, in his wonderfully strong organization, in his cause, and in the human and divine aids he is continually re- ceiVlng.
