SAxroNs RIVER.

More people were present at the adj
journed meeting Of the directors of the
SaXtons River Seminary society and cit
liens, last Friday, than on any previous
evening A communication relating to
the consolidation of the school districts,
was read The paper contained many
excellent ideas, and the lady, who ever
she was, at least ought to be qualified to
Judge III such matters, as it was stated
that she had been a teacher in both
graded andungraded schools for upwards
of ten years. The lawyers present saw
no legal objections to using the old Sem
mary on the terms proposed. Even if
it should be thought best to dissolve the
union district on the south side of the
river, one of the legal gentleman truth
fully said that "no three justices in
Windham Co., after the case had
been fairly laid before them, would OBJ
.iect to dissolving districts No. 10 in
Rockingham, and No. in Westminster
with the understanding that they were
to be consolidated with No. 9"
We understand that the grange meet
ing of last week was largely attended,
but that no grange was formed, partly
on account of the one at Rockingham
Centre being within FIVE miles of this
place To organize oranges within five
miles of each other we understand is
against the rules of the order. Q.
There will be no lecture next week
owing to the illness of the lecturer who
was expected. On the 18th inst, Rev
Mr.. Mighill of Brattleboro, will lecture
ON Sc Duties of Fellow Townsmen, and
on the 25th, Gen Griffin will lecture on
"reminiscences of the War"

The Cantata.

The " New Years Eve Cantata, pre-
sented by the young people of Immanu-
ell Church in this village, was every way
worthy of the full house it drew and the
friends who projected the entertainment
must feel gratifed with its success. The
abstract of the poem is-The time, New
Years Eye; the opening scene-The
Old Year on his throne-Old Father
Time, with scythe and hour glass, re-
minding him that his race is almost run
and calls upon him to render an account
of his reign in answer to which the
Old Year summons Spring, Summer,
Autumn and Winter, who each in turn
give an entertainment representing their
several seasons. The attendants of
Spring draw an inner curtain and dis
close the tableau of The browning of
the May Queen" Summers tableau is
Picnic and its accessories, Autumn
a Harvest Scene and Winter the tab
leau, The Star of the East with the
inscription, A." Peace on earth, goodwill
to men," The closing scene is represent
ed by the whole chorus who sing fare
well to the Old Year, who passes Off the
stage as the clock strikes u, and the
New Year is ushered in by Christmas
and Santa Claus and crowned king.
closing with a welcome chorus to the
Young Year. The representations were
very good, the costumes, many of them,
very beautiful, others striking in their
appropriateness, particularly those Of the
attendants and sprites of the four sea-
sons. The introducing of the braiding
of the May pole was pleasant feature,
the little misses being received with
marked applause. Miss Leila Dewey,
aged five, was the princess of the fairy
like scene, responding to the encore with
the dignity of an accomplished actress.
The orchestral accompaniment of three
pieces by Mrs. Julia Elliot upon the pi-
ano, Fred Amadon the violin, and DIR.
F. Whitman the cornet, gave very ex-
cellent music through the entire evening,
the success of the Cantata in fact, is
largely due to its admirable musical
support. They also happily entertained
the audience during the scenic changes
with some fine selections Miss Eva
Walker, as the representative of Sum-
mer, sang The last Rose of Summer, -
very sweetly and with fine effect. One
of the most satisfying points Of Miss
VS. singing is her perfect enunciation,
which all amateurs would do we'll to i'm
itate. Miss Hunter also charmed the
audience with her clear, pure voice and
unaffected manner. Mr. G. L. Barber
was well chosen in the Old Year, and
Father Time, though suffering from a
cold, did full justice both to that ancient
worthy and Mr.. John Williams. But
credit is due to all the thirty performers
and it is hoped that their present success
will be a sufficient inducement to try
again. The proceeds we learn amounted
to sos.

PUTNEY,

The Brattleboro Record says that /
B. Puffer's house took fire in the attic
on the Oath ult., caused by the burning
out of a chimney. Mr.. Puffer watched
the chimney on the outside until he
thought there was no danger, and then
went about his work at the barn. p

smoke streaming through the roof, and

TIN WEDDING AT CHESTER.

On Tuesday eve. Jan. 9th 1875, at
about eight o'clock, the residence of our
worthy townspeople, Mr.. and Mrs. f.
p Mather, was suddenly, ruthlessly and
Unexpectedly invaded by about one hun
bred of our citizens, bearing with them
an array of tin ware useful, ornamental,
instructive and suggestive. The doctor
and wife were completely taken by sur
prise but we're equal to the emergency
and everybody had a good time Mr..
Henry, the Rev. Mr.. billiard and Others
made brief remarks. At about ten
o'clock refreshments were served which
had been sumptuously struggled in by
the invaders under the leadership of A.
X. Davenport, Esq, and his estimable
lady, who are host in themselves on
such occasions, and seem to possess a
sort of divination ON thesubiect of birth
days and marriage anniversaries pecu-
liarly happy.

Death Of Dr., John Z. Bohn,

The citizens of Camden were startled
on last Sabbath morning, by the an
nouneement of the sudden and c
pected death from Heart disease, of DR..
JOHN H. BONN, of their oldes. and
most respected and honored citizens.
We are not personally acquainted with
any of the particulars of the early life
Of Mr.. Bohn, but only know that he has
lived and done business in Camden,
beyond u recollection, and that he
was among one of the earliest settlers
of the town. 1t can be truly said of
him, that in all the social and business
relations of life, lie was a true gentle
man, an obliging ard courteous neigh
Dor, a good citizen and an honest and
upright man. He has left 3 void in his
nome that time alone can remove and
his widowed consort and children will
mourn their loss-but not as tho e with.
out hope; for they feel that what wal
their loss was his gain, that from hi
long life and many tot s and labors h,
is now free and gone where s'the wear.
are at rest"

An Unspctted Character.

Money is a good thing, especially
in these hard times, but there is some
thing a thousand fold more valuable.
1t is Characteristic consciousness of a
pure and honorable life. This it
should be q mans first aim to pre-
serve at any cost. In the times or
commercial distress, while some afe
proved and found wanting, others
come forth tried as by fire. Here and
there one comes out of the furnace
far more of a man than before. Amid
the wreck of his fortune he stands
erect-a noble specimen of true man
hood. We have occasionally witness
ed al example of courage in such a
crisis, of mortal intrepidity, that de-
served all honor. Let it be the aim
of every business man, above all
things else, to keep his purity I'M
stained. This is the best possession
this is a capital which can never be
taken from him-this is the richest
inheritance which he can leave to his
children.

What is an Editor?

Why, he is a man of all work ; al.
ways on The alert, but sleeps and
dreams like other people. He has
feeling and interests like his neigh
Dor, but by common consent he real
ICES only about IN half of his just
dues. He labors harder for his bread
and butter than "any other man." He
is expected TO have certain knowledge
of everything that has been, and all
things prospective. He is the public
shooting mark and is charged with
matters which belong only to himself.
He does more to build up a town than
all other enterprises combined, but
for this he is censured as an ignora-
mus. His paper, as well as the editor
is made the subject of severe criticism
from those more particularly who are
non-supporters and ignorant idlers,
and hence les able to judge of the
merits and dement's of the paper.
More than all. he receives less pay
from those who receive the greatest
benefit from his publication. He is
expected to give his time and money
to advance the interest of many, with
out remuneration, but who in turn
will borrow his neighbours newspa-
per, and rejoices tn 1t he don't take
the paper or advertise in it, but bis
neighbor docs both, and he is benefit
ed without pay. Who wouldn't be
an editor? lie reads the papers, fur
copy, sets type, reads proof,
and does many things of necessity re-
quired i'll his Office.

Madison, Indiana, is enjoying 8
local sensation in the shape of a man
who, under a wager, has agreed to
eat thirty quails in thirty consecu-
tive days. His name is James
O'Donnell, and he is aged about
thirty-eight years. The Madison
papers call him the champion
Quail Eater" Now almost any man
thinks that he can eat one quail a
day for thirty days, but our readers
generally will be surprised to hear
that thesbets in Madison are ten to
seven that O'Donnell will not per
form the feat. although he is per-
mitted to eat his quail every day
cooked in any manner he may
choose, and is not prohibited from
taking other food. Last Sunday he
had eaten the eighteenth quail.
