ller and pecuniary socablc to devise ways
and means to procure the fatted calf with
which to make merry at Philadelphia next
fourth of July. Well, 1t Is rather import
ant to those who run the Green Mountain
rancho just now that the pedigree of the
animal shall trace back all right. Other
wise they will not need to stop to go
through the ceremony Of "heads" and
tails with o penny, as did the Irishman
who went to cut ice with cross-cut saw,
~ see which shall go under. When
the whole country comes to be robed in
the richest hue of the mlkmaid; choice and
existence is to every living thing positive
JOY when the tongue of time makes
earth's assembled and expectant nations
take note that 100 years have passed since
"a new nation was brought forth on this
continent; when the whole family Ia
present from the lakes to the gulf and
from the old ocean on the east to and
through "the continuous woods where rolls
the Oregon; when the booming OF cannon

whole earth and the vastly deep catch the
flying Joy, the eyes Of the blind will be

bellious of all his majestys subjects. In
the struggle that that nation might live
aud under God, have new birth of free
dom, her sons living and dead covered
themselves with glory as with a garment.
Wherever in our country's story fame has

| peace has come and the hard tack is gone,
she must it seems sly off from her sisters
| like poor relation and sit down with a

or at best she must feign to make merry
under borrowed roof and with the little
scrawny unofficial calf obtained by passing
around the bonnet Those who have pul

her next independence day and be helped TO
good nice tender piece right out of an
ear. The old lady likes Ashael and Charles
and George, but if they deprive the other
children Of good square meal when she
has company, she will reckon with them
in right business like way. Il. II.

Mr.. Perry G. Dawley, our oldest inhab.
liant, died on Sunday last at the advanced
age of nnety-three years. The life of Mr.

the entire inhabitants change nearly twice,
and for half century has been one of the
landmarks of the place. A man of ex-

Gus progeny, unerringly stamped to the

| life has been worthy biography which
some of his descendants would do we'll to

A brief from Shoreham. On the eve of
Washington's birthday, there was most
hearty surprise given to tie Messrs. Forbes
james Forbes, ST., James Forbes, jr and
Charles Forbes, who, with their wives, live
under the same roof. One hundred and

one of the most pleasant mounts in ones
life time. they behold in all this gathering
