Mr.. j. NJ. Metcalf, lately deceased, was one Of
most successful dairymen in town. He had ten
thoroughbred Jerseys, and produced butter which
brought the highest price. The family wish to
sell part of the stock Amos Wheeler, Esq, is now
milking six cows, three of which are heifers, and

There was grand temperance rally at Win
throp on the evening of the 18th inst. The speak
ers were four members Of the Auburn Reform
Club, Dennison Clarey, Geo. D. Barnum, Preston
B. Wing and c. C. Frost. The hall was densely
crowded. The speakers were very affecting,
touching all the different feelings of the drinking
man. The eloquence of Frost, the earnestness
and candor of Wing, the wit Of Barnum, and dra-
matte powers of Clarey all conspired to touch the
audience in striking manner. Several hard
drinking men came forward and signed the pledge.

the evils Of liquor was adopted. We understand
that several more of those classes mentioned above
are to join. 1t is the prevailing feeling in town
that three fourths Of the drinking men will be
reached and saved, and Winthrop will again take
its former noble stand on the side of temperance
sobriety and order.
There was a second spelling match at the Town
Hall on Tuesday evening the 18th. Misses Julie
Stanley and Louella Beale chose sides. The sides

Juliet Stanley spelled the longest, but as she re
ceived the prize on previous evening she wa
not candidate. Mr.. w. Il. Beals put out thu
words.

No. II.
l. In accordance with the Rules and Regula-
tons, the Goth day of May. next (the Both being
Sunday, will be observed as Memorial Day by
the Grand Army Of the Republic, and the custom
ary henors will be paid to the memory Of our de-
parted comrades, by pablo services and visiting
and decorating, SO far We able to do so, the
graves where they lie.
In making arrangements for its observance, De-
partments and Posts are recommended to invite
the cooperation of comrades not members of the
Grand Army, the local authorities, the Clergy and
all who may feel interested in these memorial SER
vices.
1t is earnestly hoped that in those places where
there Posts, the day will not be suffered to
pass without suitable recognition and that friends
and citizens will endeavor to see that the graves of
those who sleep among them are not left unvsited.
As each succeeding year passes away, We see
more clearly how deep is the obligation we owe to
these men, and how justly they are entitled to be
enrolled among the heroes and martyrs of liberty.
By concentrating them, We attest our solemn
thankfulness to Almighty God, that in the hour
of peril to national life country found such
brave defenders; and while we mourn their loss,
seek to impress upon our hearts, and the hearts
of ALL the inspiring lessons of fortitude, patriotism
and self devotion, afforded by their noble lives and
| glorious deaths. We remember not only those
who fell during the war; but those who have passed
away since, in the earnest hope that all who, as
good soldiers did their duty in the field may be
there, to show themselves always worthy citizens
of the great Republic which their valor saved.
II. The attention of the Commander-in Chief
has been called to the fact that several States,
| which have made Memorial Day legal holiday,
| have provided that whenever the Both day of May
| occurs on Sunday, the day .follouing shall be OBJ
| served. He advises, therefore, that Comrades in
| those Departments 60 forward and make prepare
| ton for the observance of that day, as he has
| much confidence that the National Encampment,
| which will meet at Chicago on the 18th day OF
May, in order to ensure full recognition of the
day, will modify, so far those Departments are
concerned, the Regulation which now requires the
day preceding to be the one observed.

school has attained high rank, having enjoyed
the instruction of faithful teachers for several

less fortunate during the past few years, though
during the past year it has made decided i'm
provement. Several Of the primary schools have
attained high order of excellence. During the
year Botany has been introduced into the gram
mar, intermediate and primary schools as a regu-
lar study. The teachers have manifested deep
interest in this branch ofstudy, and have succeed
ed in interesting their scholars. Miss Stevens has
