Adjourned Village Meeting.

AL former village meeting the lruS-
tees We're constituted Il committee to
make out a tariff of rates to apply to
the sale of the village water and report
at Il future meeting. Tuesday evening
they presented their report which con-
tanned the following schedule of prices
For each private family $500
- {" additional family in same
house 100
For each bath room 200
- - water closet 200
:. fountain including wa
ter for sprinkling ll6 to Is
inch stream to he closed in
case of fire 300 to 600
For private stables, one horse 80
- one COW LOO
For livery stables per horse in
Guiding washing of carriage LOO
For stores, offices, etc. 300 to 800
In the report it WAS recommended
that each individual receiving the water
should pay the expense of laying the
pipe from the main to his house. and
that the work should he done 10y the
village; that the village should have
and own st"p-cocks with which t" rrgu
late the supply wherever the village
should direct. 1t WAS recommended
that in case the water should hc carried
To house that was Iemotr from the
street in which there is Il main the
Trustees should have power t" arrange
the matter as best they could.
Some thought it unfair that each one
should pay all the expense "f carry ing
the water from the main Ia his house
inaSmuch aS the mains We're not laid III
the middle of the street. and that. T."
euaulizc the expense to individuals. the
village should furnish pipe t" the line
of each mans premises this WAS offer
ed rs an amendment to the report and
carried. This amendment included only
those who are on streets where there
are mains. The report was then
adopted.
1t is evident that the regulations for
furnishing this water are still very i'm
perfect. As time goes on great raile-
" of cases will hc presented for the
decision of the village. which without
we'll defined rule, and regulations will
involve the village i'll Il great amount
of dispute and veXati"n. With the eN-
periencr of other towns III this water
business and the ability of our OWN
people To anticipate the great majority
of the cases which may arise, a code of
rules might he adopted at once which
would cover most cases.
The excuse given 10y the Trustees f"r
presenting 81 imperfect report Was
that they wished foT something To guide
them in the more Immediate applIca-
tionS fur water and that rules could hc
made from time to time a. occasion
might demand.
Without di>paIaging the majority re-
port, we would commend the business
like character of the minority report
and suggest that the sooner the village
adopt rules and regulations similar Il"
those. offered in the minority report the
sooner they will have surmountcd
countless difficulties which will other
wise arise.

The Second Advents helda tent meet
ing at North Danville neal the MethO-
dist church, commencing Wednesday,
the 9th inst, and closing Sunday night.
The preaching, which was emphatic
ally doctrinal. was quite earnest. The
attendance was not large excepting
Sunday. when there was ii large crowd
from st Johnsbury and the surrounding
villages.
Mr. Alfred Gile of North Danville,
on his return from East Burke Mon
day last, was thrown from his buggy
near Lyndon village and severely in
jured, his left leg being broken near the
ankle joint. The accident was occa-
stoned by some turkeys flying in front
of his horse and frightening him, so
that he became unmanageable. The
buggy WAS turned upside down bring
ing Mr.. Gle underneath it when the
horse ran and dragged him for several
rods. His .on who was with him was
not injured.

Friday last. For many Years he was
one of the leading men in the public
affairs of this town and enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of his fellow
townsmen. and received at their hands
offices of honor and distinction. For
the last three or four Years he seemed
to have lost his mental and physical
powers so that he has been constant
care to his children with whom he re-
sided.
The house of Frank Hadlock WAS
surrounded 10y "band of serenad,sS"
who felt themselves called upon to do
duty and render night hidcous bv their
orgies. The occasion WAS the marriage
of Mr.. IIadlock'S daughter to Eher a.

PEELED to apologize to the host and
hostess and the guests as well for such
unseemly intrusion and hope the time
will soon come when such riotous pro-
cec,lings will be frowned down in every
well regulated community.

The three months for which the one
service on the Sabbath has been adopt
ed 10y the churches III this town, closed
last Sabbath. We think all have been
well pleased with the arrangement: it
has been especially beneficial to the
sabbath school. The Sabbath school
of the Congregational church has in
creased fully onr-iourth in numbers and
much more than that in Interest. We
hope the same custom will prevail in
coming years.
We hope the p. 4 o. X. X. will not
get up another excursion just ON the
eve of election so as to take voters out

Republican votes from this town by the
last excursion.
In the case of p 4 o. X. K. against

was that they could not recover.

A STORY WITH MoRAL.--A gentle
man Of middle age, who had always been
a farmer, bad cleared up and improved
one Of the best farms in Maine, erected
new and convenient buildings, reared a
family, and was enjoying the blessings
with which he was surrounded, became
possessed with the idea of selling his
farm
Friends told him he could live SO much
easier to 60 into the village, where he
could havea nice house. a gaadcn, keep
a COW, and, if he chose, a horse, and live
like gentleman, and live on the interest
Of his money, that he advertised his farm
for sale He found no want of putchas-
ers. and the farm was soon disposed Of
for handsome sum. Then the stock,
farming tools, ETC., were sold, and the
place that he had wrought with his own
hands, the buildings he had built for his
own convenience, and, according to his
own notions. the spot where he had rails
ed his family, and around which cluster
ed so many associations, passed into the
hands Of strangers. For time the gen
tleman did not locate, as he desired to
look round, find place TO suit him, and
see where he could be happy for the re-
mainder Of his days At last he found
place that suited him, purchased it. and
settled down to life again. But things
did not go right. He missed his old farm
and house, the silent but delightful com
pany Of his cattle, sheep and other do
nestle animals, the scenes where he had
passed so many happy years, and the 80.
ciety of his old neighbors, tried and true.
He grew discontente,, and was we'll nigh
sick. His wife and daughters, also, were
n OF pleased with their new home. it was
