CABoT.-At the meeting of the Board of Agri-
culture in this town, in December, it was argued
strongly by many of the speakers that more grain
should be fed, and that it would pay our farmers
to buy it, as very small portion of what would
be needed is grown on the farms. We think n
fair trial will be made the present spring Within
tho past few days there has been purchased in
this town one thousand three hundred and fifty
bushels OF corn and twenty-five tons OF feed, at a
cost of one thousand six hundred and thirty-four
dollars and fifty cents. The great question Is
"Will it pay ?'. "A musical convention is To be
held here, under the direction of Professor r. G..
Smith, commencing on Monday evening, Feoru-
AIRY 2ist, and closing Wednesday evening with a
grand concert. Rev. l.. II. Stone will deliver a
temperance lecture at the Methodist church next
Sabbath evening. District clerks will please re-
turn the registers to the town superintendent Inn
mediately after the close of the schools.

The report Of the Commissioner was then called
for and read It showed that agents had been
appointed, the past year In but five towns in the

use was necessary it could be readily procured
and that much unlawful selling would he pre-.
vented by this means.
! In the afternoon, the committee ON nomination,
