by gosh, would hit the country crack and
make 1t flow with milk and honey. He
seems to want to see beef and polk and
mutton chop nearly as cheap as when all
manner of four-footed beasts were let down
from heaven. He thinks to many specula-
tors and midde-men have a finger in his
pie and he is anxious to dispense with
some of them so that he can distinguish it
without squirting, magnified from the
porous plaster of the trade. He says he
don't eye askance or frown on the comely
lassie 'going through the rye" and he
fully concurs in the eulogy that "woman
is indispensable as a mother, unequaled as
lover and convenient as a cousin" But he
ties old broad up at the head and he will
be darned if he will ever shout, "Your
heads level and cowy for you"
FAIRuAvEN.
Rev. G. A. Barrett. principal of the nor
NAL school, Casteton, delivered lecture
on "Educatlon and its relations to law" in
the Methodist church, Fairhaven, on We'd
nesday evening. The attendance was
very small on account of the severity of the
weather aud the fact that the notice had
not been generally circulated. The lecture
is highly spoken Of.
Ou utsuhy cNcuibS, thc lhitlliui hnO
popular station agent at Fairhaven,
Matthew Leonard, received line from his
employers, the magnates Of the Delaware
and Hudson canal company, stating that
his services were no longer needed and
ordering him to turn over the papers and
property to ''the bearer" Consequently
Mr.. Leonard has retired and the bearer has
been installed in his place. His name is
Naid to be Butcher, but from what place he
balls is not known.
Amos Carlo WAS arrested on Sunday
last, at the instance of Hiram Hamilton
for stealing chickens. Thos. Compbell,
the constable, took him in charge and
locked him in room in the Knights house
while he (Campbell) went to church, Carlo
taking advantage of his absence, broke the
lock and took leg bail. He has not yet
been recaptured.
LUDLOW.
Those who may have fiattered themselves
that they were to get through the present
winter without realizing single old fash
toned clustering day, saw very plainly their
miscalcuatlon on "Candlemas day." the
I'd inst. No such day. so far as the wind
is concerned, has put in an appearance on
the east side of the mountain for many a
day. The roofiug-that of tarred paper
and gravel-on w. A. Patrick's machine
shop, was lifted and torn off to a consider
able extent, and scattered along the streets
almost like leaves in autumn. A requsl-
ton will have to be made on "Uncle JOEL"
who with his roofing brigade will most like
" repair the roof 'all tattered and torn"
as soon at the next man, be he who he
may.
Among the other casualties caused by
the gale was the blowing over of two tall
chimneys on the large brick dwelling house
of Mr., Ira Bailey, the weight of one carry
ing 1t down through the roof and causing
considerable damage.
The donation ADVERTISED to come off at
Rev. J. p. Farrar's the Cd inst, was not
allowed the go.by on account OF the terrific
wind that prevailed throughout the entire
day The Baptist church and society are
greatly blessed in that it has members
largely endowed with goaheadativeness.
Among the members are Deacon John
Hull. A. f. Sherman, Foster L. Taylor,
and Philip Lord, esq These men, more
especially Deacon Hull and A. f. Sherman,
drove their teams through the binding
drifting snow, and gathered a company on
this occasion which, at tea time, numbered
seventy-fve or more and was increased to
farming portion of the elders congrega
ton were not represented, being necessar-
lily "left out in the cold" We learn that
the ''thank offerings" Notwithstanding the
sturdy yeomanry were unable to come to
the rescue, amounted to at least round
hundred in value. Mrs. Farrar rejoices in
a new chamber set and wire mattress,
which formed part of the donation,
the value of which is something
in excess of fifty dollars. The
younger portion of the elders friends
principally young men connected with
the Baptist congregation, very thought
fully contributed barrel of flower--"Pet-
tigrew's best" From the fact that less
than half who intended to be present we're
able to do 80, and also that the ladies' So
cable is to meet with Mrs. Farren in one
week, the donation visit is continued to
that time, to accommodate those, more es-
pecially the farming portion of the COM
munity, who were unable to attend on the
I'd inst. The donation, when fully com.
pleted, will undoubtedly prove decided
success. Those intending to be present
the next time had better be prepared to
move at once. as it has been abundantly
proved that Deacon John Islands not on
the order of his going" to fetch all deln-
quents in, be the weather what it may. 1t
is true the deacon's hair is white, like the
almond tree when in blossom, but to all
| appearance his hair is all that there is old
in his general makeup.
The temperance lecture delivered at
Hammond hall last Tuesday evening under
the auspices of the Good Templars, by j.
| Bennett Anderson, past grand worthy
counselor of England, was very largely at
tended the hall being filled to its utmost
capacity. Mr.. Anderson is very good
| specimen of a rounded Englshman. He is
certainly GLIDE. il not a profound speaker.
He informed his audience that he should
desiRnedly scatter in his remarks so as to
| hit all, and whether he succeeded In hitting
all lie certainly succeeded so far as the
scatter was concerned. He Is undoubtedly
very sincere and enthusiastic speaker, and
will undoubtedly do much good to Ger
tain class which he in his apt, GLIDE way,
can greatly edify.
