They do say that Martins is the place
to get all kinds of jewelry, plated ware,
fancy goods, &C., &C. Remember Martin
is always glad to have people call and
look his stock over, but is gladder to
have them leave-ther orders.
Mrs. J. f. Nutter, in addition to her
usual large stock of millinery and fancy
goods, has just received full assort-
ment of the Corticelli sewing silk, twist
and embroidery silk, the best kind in use.

flowers in his spacious show windows.

At the meeting of the Directors Of the

mlum list as revised by the Directors,

The Hibbard family of Lisbon, assist
ed by Mr.. Gibson, an accomplished vio-
linist, gave n concert at the town hall
last Friday night. Unfortunately their
bills and posters were not distributed
until Friday, and consequently the at
tendance was light. The concert through
out was good, especially the performance
upon the piano forte by the Misses Hib-
bard and by Mr. Gibson upon the violin,
either of which would constitute a good
entertainment of themselves.
lancaster is at present being treated
with an unusual amount of temperance
talk; but it is one Of the few things that
there is no danger of OVERRIDING. Sunday
afternoon James II. Raper of the United
Kingdom Alliance, and Gen. Neal Dow
spoke in the Lancaster House Park, and
in the evening an Engishman by name OF
Nichols spoke at the town hall, under
the auspices of the Good Templars OF
this place. The addresses were all eX.
cellent and cannot fail to produce bene
fetal effect upon the community
Tuesday evening, Gen. Dow and Mr.
Raper addressed public meeting o.
the Good Templars at the town hall.
M. A. Hastings, Esq, has been appoint
ed Clerk of the Supreme Court for Coos
county. We understand that the new
] judges have reappointed the former clerks
throughout the State, except in Stratfort
county. When the Circuit Court was es
tablished in 1874, it was found that tht
clerkships in every county were held by
Republicans. Changes were made in five
and in five the old clerks were reappoint
ed. If politics are to be taken into tn,
account at all this division is very prope
and Just, and the new court seems to 81
regard it. Mr.. Hastings is acknowledged
by all fair minded members of the bar t,
be most efficient and faithful officer, ant
it was hardly possible that Il change coult
have been made, except for the worse
