forgiven, was "none for Joseph" New
the air for quite while, was all
q 6ristb with rumors of "sick hog" and 1t
seemed at one time that but few would
ever again look with the least degree OF
Joseph, the opinion seemed TO be that
Egypt would be more suitable place
for him to reside in than the staid
old town of Ludlow. However, Joseph
had his friends, good men and true, who
couldn't and wouldn't take stock in the
pokerish story, and so on town meeting
day they came to Joseph's rescue, and
passed him in overseer for the next twelve
months by just one majority over his
grangy competitor, Jonathan Mayo.
"Saved, yet 80 as by fire" Now we feel
morally sure that we are to have first
class overseer in the person Just elected.
In the first place he understands more about
human nature than he did, say year ago.
In the next place, notwithstanding,
he might feel disposed to sell
cheaper to himself Gas overseer) than to any
one else, yet on the account of being mis-
understood and very likely wrong motives
attributed TO him in the transaction, he is
hereafter going into the worlds markets
mostly, where he purchases supplies for the
town. There is nothing like knowing just
how to take a set of sore headed grumb-
lers, If they will find fault when the over
seer sells prime long winded pork right off
his own farm, without doubt, at lower
figures than he could have realized else
where, more especially say, some ways
from home, why all is, let such grumblers
suffer as they aught, let them pay more
taxes and see how they like that. But, as
"all's well that ends well, so we think the
the dolngs of last Tuesday should properly
come under this head. There was one
thing, however, extremely hard TO digest,
which was the dropping Of "Lockwood"
from the board of auditors. 1t is berth
he has long held, and what is more. has
always done all the ''heavy acting" in
other words, the work necessary to be
done he ate the poorer quality OF victuals
during tae performance of his arduous
labors, sand, well, somebody else has re-
ceived ten times as much for the amount
of labor actually performed as he. a
fresh illustration of how ungrateful to wns
as well as republics can be.

On the evening of the 2lst ult., while o
party OF youths of both sexes were on,
coasting on n strong, glare crust of snow
at West Wardsboro, Miss Jessie Ward, o
young lady about twenty years of age, was
thrown violently against tree and re-
ceived injuries of which she died five days
after.

The pretty paragraph in the Werdlc
Tuesday morning under the caption Of
"Burglary," was an outrage ON the Sanford
house, and tissue Of misrepresentation
from the beginning TO the ending. The
depredations were committed at the Bono.
seen house. and that part of it known as
the gin mill. The parties were not discov
cred in the act. They were arrested Mon
day. They are not in Jail, but are out or
bail, for their appearance before Justice d
d. Cole Wednesday. No tobacco or pro
visions were taken, but slnply few gal
Ions of liquor and box or TWO Of cigars
1t is true they were arrested by Sheriff
Bishop and that their names are Mile
Whittock and Sam Brainard. No one here
supposes that they belong to gang Of
about twenty, as stated in the note. They
are both natives of Castleton, and have
lived here from their birth most of The
time. The general feeling is that u person
that would repeat such an item, or partie!
that would publish it, ought to be severely
censured. Your old fossil neighbor seem.
to be eager to grab at anything from Cas-
Teton, be it right or wrong. Are the Her
aid folks responsible for anything or any
body? R. b.

their house, to enjoy ga sing After
good time spent in learning those soul
stirring hymns of Moody and Sankey's col
lection, the company was invited into the
sitting room, where some late corners haC
arranged beautiful chamber suite. Thi
was presented to Mrs Hitchcock, oul
organist, by Deacon Volney Forbes, in be-
hal of those who would thus show theil
appreciation of her help rendered in oui
worship, and in token of the esteem of al
for both host and hostess. 1t was a com
plete surprise and feelingly responded to-
and we hope it will tend to strengthen the
bonds Of friendship which already exist.
Our last lyceum meeting for the season
occurred on Tuesday evening, March 7th
e. M. BiXby in the chair. Among The
recitations, which were all good, we woulC
mention Miss Jessie Briggs rendering Of
"Curfew shall not ring tonight" a!
especially fine Mrs. Cyrus Tryon, Mrs
Alfred Young and MIR. Willard Hitchcock
read selections in very pleasing manner
We think we have readers in West Haver
that will compare well with any town. Mr.
Eugene Horton gave us an Grafton on geo.
logy, which for matter and name,
must take rank among the first
speakers of our day. The lyceum paper
edited by Mr.. Skeels and Miss Horton con.
tanned many fine articles, and breathed
forth a spirit which plainly showed its con.
ductors to possess both mind and principle.
The discussion ''on popular amusements,'
was ably opened by G. Il. Francisco, fol.
lowed by L. M. Bixby, but as the Others
failed to put iny an opinion, the discus.
sion was abruptly cut short. An instru.
ment was procured for the occasion, and
some excellent music furnished by Mr.. and
Mrs. w. Hitchcock. Throughout the sea.
son the meetings of the lyceum have com.
manded a large attendance and much de-
served attention.
