There has been considerable excitement
in this city for week past over the rot
Gus proceedings of the employees of the
Manchester and Keene railroad. Some ar
rests have been made and all is now quiet,
although quite a force is required TO pre-
serve order, a. the workmen are prowling
around the streets day and night The
men will not go to work again until they
are paid, and there is no prospect at

a soneeit - s'~-~. nv. the Meihodist
Sunday school, in their 'chtifcf, SUNDAY
evening last. 1t consisted principally Of
Rotations by the scholars interspersed
with music by the school. The song en-
titled II go sing" by Miss Lena Richard
son, and the recitation by Master Harry
Rood, were prominent features of the ell
tertsinment, which was in every respect
success. 1t would be gratifying indeed if
the res. Of our Sabbath schools follow more
the example of their Methodist neighbors
in this respect.
A match game of base hall was played
last Monday, between the Young Alerts of
this place, and the Pond Sinners OF Wells
pond vicinity, on the grounds of the for
mer. The game was for $40 side, and
resulted in favor of the Pend Sinners, by
score of 2G to 20. The Alerts are a plucky
club, and in a return game the result may
be different.
The excursion, last Tuesday, was favor
ell with little too much rain to make it
wholesome, but, nevertheless, all spent
very pleasant day on the boat, and return
ed home at 8 p. m, apparently well salts
fed with their trip.
The Good Templars held their first So
cable at the house of Mr. E. q. Richard
sou, last Wednesday evening. The atten-
dance was very good. and with the aid of
music, games, ETC. all spent a very pleas
ant evening We hope the Cool Temp
lars will see fit to continue them.

EAST DORSET
Rev. William Brown,a Uuitarian clergy
man of Walpole, occupied the pulpit of the
Union church morning. and evening on
our William Brown, miller. ciderist Ium-
bel man and farmer, free thinker and sell
made man, who dent agT9e with anybody
about the affairs of this world or the next
but believes everybody should be bis own
pope and bishop and work out his own
temporal and eternal salvation "afjot and
alone" The weather was cloudy aad
rainy and unpleasant, which probably kept
some at home, others possibly feared tne
minister wasn't handsome or smart, or that
they should smell helesy. And so there
wasn't much people" at church that day.
But those who attended were disappointed
most agreeaby. The reverend gentleman
entertained us vith two sermons of a high
order of excellence ard next time he
preaches here he will find the church-g ing
population of Fast Dorset has increased.
Hattie F. Marsh, youngest daughter Of DR..
J. w. Marsh of this place. died On the 22d
inst, in Londonderry, at the residence If
her grandfather, DIR. jeremiah Arnold,
where she was visiting. She was Il lovely
child, dearly beloved by her brothers, her
mothers pride and her fathers hope and
ioy. Her teuth birthday occurred on the
28th of April Last, and till within few
DAYS of her dc itn none had ever suspected
she was the ttnlnt of so frail an abode, but

so her spirit hath fown from this word OF un-
rest,

And the "Dorset convention" the CEN
tennial anniversary of whose meeting oC-
CURED on the 25th inst. Well we we're not
preseLt or itemizing then and we remem-
ber nothing and have read little touching
its action. But we have always supposed
If there had been any hanging in the matter,
the delegates of that said convention would
have enioyed the lions share of that high
honor. Whether the hen that lays the
egg or she that matches 1t is the mother OF
the chicken is a question oft debated by
| juvenile rustics. But when the hen that
| lays the egg has continued the incubation
| till the chicken is admitted to be in plail
sight it would seem that the question ot
paternity is established in her favor beyond
dispute or question. Surely she that ste p!
up four months after and picks the frag,
mentary shell from its wings, would moi
! cluck and ruflle her feathers in motherly
way. We don't know the particular spo'
where Vermont was let loose on thi'
planet. but we believe she was born il
| Cephas Kent's tavern between the rising OF
the sun on the Goth Of September, 1776
and the going down of the same on tht
Goth of said month and year, and that DIR
Joseph Bowker of Rutland was in attend
anCe. Dorset should and probably woul(
have celebrated her centennial birthday
with befitting ceremony, but one haC
bought yoke of oxen, another had married
A wife, and of course had his hands full
and so all were occupied with the busines
of the present hour, forgttful of the pas
and unmindfu of the future.
Edward Conant, generalissmo of school
mans. pitched his tent in Dorset on til
26th inst, for sojourn of forty-eigh
hours. But of this, next time, perhaps.
