The annual meeting of the New
Hampshire agricultural society was
held in Manchester on Wednesday
of last week. A large number of
farmers, representing all parts of
the state, were present and unusual
interest was manifested.
The report of George w. Riddle,
treasurer, certified by Hon. Warren
Brown. auditor, was read and adop.
ted. There is an unexpended bal
ance in the treasury from last year
of $361.G1 also property on hand,
including buildings, lumber, &C.,
estimated at S5215.33. The receipts
at the New England fair, held in
this city last fall were S2O.361.11;
expenditures, s20.147.96 leaving
a balance of $2l2.15. Several Pc
titions from oranges i'll different
parts of the state were received,
asking that the state fair be held
next autumn as usual, and not to
be postponed as had been proposed
on account of the centennial, and it
was voted.
The time and place was left to
the executive committee, for which
proposals will probably be received.

REMEMBERED BY His FRIENDS.
Mr.. David Ferguson, the popular
conductor upon the Montreal road,
was remembered in a substantial
manner by the railroad boys on
Christmas day. He had been of
duty for about a year, suffering from
a succession of physical Affections,

put their heads together to purchase
a splendid cane which should be
his companion and assistant this
slippery weather. Everybody want
ed to contribute his mite, and the
result was a collection of about
&130-altogether too much to put
into a cane. SO a magnificent cane
was purchased, and the balance
over one hundred dollars-was turn.

WEST NEwBURY. The exhibi
ition took place in the Union Church
as per advertisement, last week
Friday evening, and was up to the
times and expectation of the people
BY half past six goodly number
had convened, and still they came /;
although the slei.hing was gritty"
Newbury street, So. Newbury and
Bradford were well represented.
One corner of the church was inva-
ded by the young people from New
bury;a happy and joyous throng.
BY seven O'Clock the audience room
was verify crowded, at which time
the curtain was drawn and the ex
crcises began with music; prayer
was then offered by Rev. Mr.. Lyon,
after which was sung the good old
Hymn Crock of GEES" then follow.
ed diversity of interesting exer-
cises. REGULATIONS were given by
Misses Carlton, Andross, Tucker,
McDuffee, Rogers, Gustin aud Bry-
ant. Two of tie above, Ella An
dross and Mabel McDutfee deserve
special notice, scarcely five years
old and yet capable of going before
the public and dom. their part as
well as those of more matured
minds. Cheer after cheer, and the
best wishes of all present followed
these little amateur actors as they
left the stage. The Select reading
by Miss Powers was good, the dec
lamation 10y l.. L. Tucker Jr. was
rendered in way that shows the
tart is not lost" among the hills.
The dialogues and tableauX were
well timed ; the tableau represent
ing the various stages of life, with
its musical accompaniment was
solemn and impressive. The drama
"The drunkards Last Loaf" was a
picture Of real life brought before
the minds eye in 50 vivid manner
that one aud all were carried along
with the sentiment of the drama as
it progressed. 1T brought out in a
wonderful manner the power OF
"mind over matter" also the power
of cod King" over both mind
and matter. The applause after the
last scene was spontaneous and
showing that the au-
dicnce appreciated it's merits. The
whole entertainment was intcrsper-
sed with music both vocal and in
strumental; Miss Hattie G. Brock
at the organ. The finale
was a tableau entitled the "Old and
new year." The last scene which
occurred about one hour before the
new year, represented 1875 in the
form of a venerable man, bowed and
bent by age and infirmity, passing
otf the stage, leading by the hand a
beautiful maiden mathematical OF
;he centennial year which only
waited to be ushered in. The en-.
was of such nature,
hat the most fastidious and scru-
,ulous could FIND no fault. The
pest of order was maintained and
vi seemed to be- we'll pleased and
LOUDLY paid for their time and trou-
lie. When the chandelier shall have
'een procured, may it's light shine on
happy and peaceful congregation,
nay the more genial rays, from the
Far Brighter Light shine out from

allies until the people shall with
ne accord lift up their eyes to

AT the celebration of "FOrefa

Gen. Sherman was present and be
ing called upon to respond to toast
made a little speech which deserves
to be read and remembered. Here
is one extract:
sit is undeniable that the New
England man is of that character
that, go where he will, he carves
a centre which, charging, will affect
everything he comes in contact with,
He is the embodiment of all Eng
lish speaking nations who believe
in honesty, truth and patriotism.
Those are the men who are to gov.
ern this continent. Immense cheer.
ing.) Never was there such an ex.
ample when conquering race gave
to the conquered race the same
rights they themselves possessed.
The moment they laid down their
arms we said to them: Go home ;
60 to work for that flag which is to
be the common one over our homes.
81 say to every Southern man
who will 60 with us heart and hand
to build up this land, they are well
come, just as if born on the very
surface of Plymouth rock; but if
they cherish any hopes for the old
conflict storm will arise over their
heads ten times as heavy as the
last one"
And here is another:
eff people of New York will learn
a lesson of the pilgrim fathers, and
go back to somewhat of their econ.
omy, the national debt will be ex-
tinguished in five years, and specie
payments would come naturally.
Let us go back to the times as be-
fore the war, and, if necessary, l
myself will give the example of
earning my own living. But in do
ing so, let us keep ourselves prepar-
ed for war, whenever it comes. Let
us keep the art of war before us, SO
that we will not have the mortifica-
ton of sending to Germany for sol
diers to drill our soldiers in the next
war;" Great cheering.)

better speech than that we will re-

The desperate expedient of the
Chicago whiskey ring in attempt
ing to intimidate or injure Secreta-
ry BristOw by nnfounded charges
that he had in past times defended
fraudulent distillers, will do them
no good, and will probably recoil
upon themselves to their greater
discontinue. Mr.. BristOw courts
the most rigid investigation, and no
ore doubts that he would come out
of it unscathed; but the charges
are SO easily and promptly retuted
by the denials of those familiar with
the facts that no investigation is
needed. The Secretary of the Treas.
ury "dOn't scare worth cent" and
the guilty parties would dc well to
give their attention to getting up
such defence as they can, for there
is likely to be no ''let up" in the
vigorous prosecution of the crusade.

NEW YEAR TOPICS.
New.Year calls will be paid with
less ceremony this year than for
many years before. In fact the
fashionables mourn the small and
quiet ways in which everything is
done. They are afraid that the
world in its exaggerated reverence
for everything old-fashioned in the
centennial year may go back to the
custom of doing without wedding
tours, and that the brides of next
season will be unceremOniOusly
marched to their new homes and be-
gin married life without so much as
trip to Niagara, and take their
Paris tour out in round of teapar-
ties through the honeymoon, as
their grandfathers and grandmother
did hundred years ago. Truth
compels me to say that the Paris
trip would be the cheaper in the end
for there used to be deep complaints
of old that these festivities preyed
heavily on the pockets Of all con-
cerned, and more than one good
tradesman was rulneu by having
too much company. But spite Of

A certain minister, having become much

that he would never again take drink un-

certainly kept his word; but the result was
that the sudden reaction was too much for

WHO DISCOVERED ANETHEslA.

The long~vexed question. Who discover
ed an@sthesia? is very clearly settled in an
able article by DR.. Stearns, Superintendent
Of the Retreat for the Insane at Hartford,
Conn, recently published in the Medical
Record. Referring to the analogoua cases
Of Columbus and his tardy recognition as
the discoverer Of America, and Jenner, with
the enmity and jealousy aroused among his
professional brethren by his Introduction Of
incubation, the writer espouses the cause
of Wells, Of Hartford, in opposition to that
Of Morton, generally accredited by the
Boston people with the discovery of this
great boon to mankind On the 10th Of
December, 1874, Wells, having witnessed .
curious result from the use of nitrous oxide,
conceived the idea of attempting its use in
the painless extraction Of teeth. His opera
ton having proved successful, he started for
Boston to make it known more widely than
could be done in Hartford He at once went
to his former pupil, Dr. Morton, who receiv>
ed his statements with incredulity. His
public exhibition Of the new agent having
failed, he returned home annoyed and dis
appointed. One Of the surgeons Of the city,
Dr. Marcy, having conferred with Wells in
relation to the properties Of sulphuric ether
and removed an encysted tumor without
pain. DR.. Morton very generously laid
claim to the discovery Of ether because he
had used it successfully in 1916, and Wells
having exhausted his slender resources, and
stang by the treachery and ingratitude Of
one to whom he had revealed the steps ia
his discovery, both in respect Of gas and
ether, after nearly two years Of effort te
vindicate his claim, became insane and died
Many arguments have been put forth BY
Boston men in favor Of DR.. Morton, notably
BY Professor Henry J. Bigelow, Of Harvard
but the balance Of proof being abundantly
in favor Of Wells his name is justly entitled
to that distinguished place in the national
roll Of honor only accorded to those who,
like DR.. Jenner, have left boon to thei1
species whose priceless worth can never b
fully recompeneed.
