Minutes of Exploration of White
field Water Shed and Streams
made May 30th and 3lst and June
7th and Sth.
Total area of water shed that passes
Browns mills, as by Walling's map, 80
square miles, giving total power on ten
foot fall Of 2s5 horse power during work
ing days. IL is comprised mainly OF
three streams, Johns River, Libby's and
Burns Brooks. Johns River has a water
shed equal to 100 horse power on ten
foot :all for 800 days ina year of IS hours
each. On this stream Cherry Pond eau
be raised one foot above the present DAM
flowing 500 acres, giving a reserve of 100
horse power 10 days. Little Cherry or
BuntOn's dam can be raised four feet
above the present dam, flowing 1000
acres, (by estimate) making a reserve of
100 horse power so days. Hazen's dam
can be raised four feet and flow about
500 acres, and can be drawn from the
pond as it now is four feet without in
jury to the present mill power, giving a
reserve of 100 horse power for A days,
making a total reserve of 1879 days of 10
hours each of 100 horse power. This
would give at the dams now built, as fol-
lows:
IIazen's dam, 300 horse power; Libby's
dam, $50 horse power; Gristmill, $50
horse power; Shows $50 horse power
Libby & Whites, 100 horse power. The
old Libby starch mill dam, if rebuilt,
would give 800 horse power. There is,
between the back water of the grist mill
pond and the raceway of George Libby's
mill, 60 5-l00 fall which with properly
constructed dams would give an aggregate
of $50 horse power, making a total of
power on Johns River of 1860 horse pow
er 800 days of Is hours each. Libby
brook can be damned for reservoirs at
Fish pond, where it can be raised from
IL to 10 feet. The number of acres fiow-
ed would be large; 1 was unable TO esti-
mate. The old dam at the Bog can be
raised SO as to hold feet more water
than formerly, giving fowage of about
s feet on 600 acres. These two dams
would hold all the surplus water shed OF
this stream, which by Walling's map is
five or six square miles, giving about 80
horse power on each 10 foot fall 10 hours
per day, 800 days. There are at present
on this stream three dams; as the fall is
rapid its improvement would make it
profitable to construct many more.
Burns stream has reservoir of Round
pond which could be raised four feet and
be drawn from it's present level feet,
giving reserve of six feet on $50 acres.
Burns pond can be raised 2 feet, giving
reserve of five feet on 200 acres, which
will be amply sufficient to contain the
surplus water furnished by the water
shed of these ponds. The water shed
will give so or GO horse power on 10 foot
fall for 800 days of Is hours each. The
ponds will hold reserve of 25 days.
There arc one or two fine water priv
eleges on this stream.

DR. HOWE'S ADVERTISEMENT,
ON DOCTRINE.


We believe unconscious sleep" and annihila.
ton are the doctrines of the devil.
On the sleep of the dead:
Luke tells us this, when the Lord was crucned,
that he cried with loud voice, heavenly father,
into thy hands commend my spirit, and gave
up the ghost.
Joseph came to beg the body, Mary to annoint
the body; this we set down to be the Lords
doctrine-all others the doctrine of devils.
On humiliation: Jude tells us, the wicked are
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire; this we
must set down to I've the Lords doctrine-all
others the doctrine of devils.
Daniel tells us many of them that sleep shall
awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame
and everlasting contempt-they run parallel
with each other in eternity. We must call this
the Lords dOctrine-all others the doctrine of
devils.
Let us sec how it will be at the end of the world
when God comes to make up his Jewels.
Infants and all true christians, Malachi says will
be changed, and come into the new heaven and
earth when God comes to make up his jewels.
"Then fire from God descending
Shall sweep this wide world DER;
Nations loud lamenung
Shall sink to rise no more"
Let us look at programmes, delegates, chromos
&c. We must set it down to be the works of
satan.
1t was said in Philadelphia, the devil sent on two
or three thousand of his ministers to see which
would be the best way to carry on meetings
Moody tells all to go to Jesus-this is the right
way, all others are the work of satan.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alene. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by it's tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent qualityj
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

The n. II. Legislature

Inc ~. II. Legislature
Convened on Wednesday, Tth inst, and
organized by the choice of the following
officers, all Republican,
Speaker of the House, Charles z. San
born of Concord; Clerk, Charles c.
Danforth OF Concord; Assistant Clerk,
Mpheus W. Baker of Lebanouj Sergeant
alarms, A. W. .Quint of Manchester;
DOorkeepers, Charles +. Cummings OF

dent of the Senate, Charles Holman of
Nashua; Clerk, Tyler Westgate of IIaver-
hill; Assistant Clerk, Calvin Sanders Of
Dover; Doorkceper, John w. Babbitt of
Keene.
Thursday was principally occupied
with the Inauguration ceremonies, which
were very imposing. 1t is estimated that
10000 people were in the city during the
day. We have not space for anything
like a synopsis of the Governors lnaugu-
raj address. We quote some of the most
important items:
The State finances are as follows:
REVENUE FOR 1876.
| Receipts from State tax $500, 900, 90
Receipts from other sources lO3, 1928. 10
Total revenue 5000, S2S. 10
CURRENT EXPENSE FOR 1876.
Ordinary 139, 4GI. 81
Extraordinary %, 395. O5
Interest on State debt 222, CPS. 81
Total expense 1891, 1886. 23
Excess of revenue of Ill, 79l. SO
(Which is the amount of the State debt
during the Year,
The liabilities of the State at present
are S5,G29, 53s. 40. The Governor coun-
sells great care in the management of the
State business, and that the usual amount
of 100000 be raised by taxation. Sixty
eight saving banks are in operation,
with deposits Of $31, 1Ds, 064.l8, an in
crease of $3.50, 57S.45. Bank investments
show a decided improvement, loans on
real estate having increased 100000.
As the people have favored a constitu-
tional convention, the Governor submits
the changes most important to be effected,
viz: Abolition of the religious test; a
change in the mode of making future
amendments; a reduction of the number
of Representative and an increase in the
number Of Senators, a change from an
nual to biennial elections and sessions of
the Legislature. The last-named change
he deems of paramount Importance, mas
much as it would very largely diminish
the cost of State Government and afford
no small relief from the burdens of taxa
ton, while it would meet all real necessi-
ties of the people.
Referring to temperance reform, he
says:
"No change in the present laws seems
requisite, as at no time in the history of
the State has reform been so general.
He recommends the re-establishment of
annual encampmcnts for the State militia
also the purchase of statues of Daniel
Webster and John Stark, to be placed in
Congressional Memorial Hall in Washing
! ton.
In conclusion Governor Cheney states
that the great demand of the hour is
retrenchmcnt and reform.
