FRIDAY, MARCH II, 1876.
Vicinity Items.

l.. a. Ives Directors, Hiland Holden, |
Henry Lord, and A. w. Cook; Secretary
and Treasurer, $. H.. Ackley. Mr.. Lord
makes the cheese for two-thirteenths OF the
price received for it. The company are
mostly harmonious and and anticipate a
large business this season.
The Empire Changers of THIS place have
way of doing things all their own.
When they want good time they don't
propose to pay two or three dollars cou-
pie for 1t 30 they just bring two or three
loads of "home vttes into their grange
room and take their fill of hulled corn and
hominy, of pumpkin pies and picked
pears all to themselves occasionally inter-
spersing the banquet with a rousing chorus
dedicated to 1.-The Happy Ploughman or
gallant toast to the beauties of Ceres.
They call this little dissipation taking
the fourth degree and having INDUCED
some four or five times in that manner we
are inclined to believe there is something
particularly seductive about that degree or
else something very hard to understand,
for they propose still further to instruct
themselves therein on Friday evening OF
this week. March 18th. All true matruns
are expected to bring each their share of
edibles and all true Patrons to be on hand
TO eat them.
We received on Tuesday, the first number
of the !" Wallingford Standard and Ru.-
land County Advertiser weekly paper
issuing from North Wallingford. 1t pre-
sents very creditable appearance and we
wish 1t all success though we believe "pat-
ent outsides have not heretofore been of
long life in this section. Somehow or other
people don't seem to appreciate that style
of journalism.
The course of lectures announced for this
place has been postponed till better roads
and settled weather shall make it more
practicable.
As this is centennial year and the trotting
out old relics all the age, we wish to say
word concerning one of our old settlers,
Mr.. Jonah Ives. Mr. Ives is in his 70 year,
was born and has always lived in this town.
Has never fused tobacco or profane Ian
guage, never whistled or sang tune, and
never spoke an unkind word to any one in
his life Also never kissed person in his
lite and doesn't know what the difference
is between kiss paroxysmal and kiss
platonc Has never been known to speak
in any way on the subjects of religion or
politics, but the man who gets ahead Of
him in the matter of jokes must rise early.
Says he'd like to go to the celebration at
Philadelphia, only he is'ns sure it's going
| IL
and il it is, he'll go to the next one. Dear,
kind, Uncle Jonah, though we can't wish
you to live till 1916 we can assure you of
our belief that Americas second birth day
centennial celebration will be far superior
to the rewards you will be enjoying long
before that And we cannot repress the
thought that were many mortals who spend
their lives in vain attempts at casting notes
from neighbOrs eyes to immitate the exam
pie of Uncle Jonah, the world would have
made long stride in advance and them
selves be happier. -"
