FAIRHAvEN.
The state election on Tuesday was not |
the most in eresling election holden in |
Falrbaven. We had another election, that |
day, the preliminaries for which were ar
ranged with less Ill feeling, rancor and bate |
elimination and recrlmination did not Gu |
ter into the canvass, but all was love and |
affe zion which grew as the canvass pro-
gressej, and fiually ended in the election
on Tuesday, at 9 30 p. m. The Methodist
church, which had been most superbly
trimmed with flowers, was thrown open.
1t would be impossible to describe the
beauty of the church as l saw it after it
was leautified by Mra. w. Ke,cham, Mrs.
w. +. Parker, Mrs. Ii, Fianklin, and Mrs.
l.. Case. 1t was simply lovely bower.
had the appearance of nature in all its
loveliness, without the rigid appearance of
art. In a few moments every available
inch of room was occupied by witnesses,
not voters. at 3 p. m. Mr.. r. w. Good
rich of Wells, and Miss Julia Perry of
Mortified, were seen coming toward the
alter of the church; they were followed by
Mr. J. T. Hughes and Miss Emma Lewis,
of Fairhaven, who took their positions In
front of the altar. Immediately the Rev.
&. M. Clark, using the beautiful formula of
the church, proceeded to take the votes,
which were given 0iUd goce. and j. Il.
Hughes voted to take Emma Lewis for his
wife, and Emma Lewis voted to take j. T.
Hughes for her husband, and Rev. MIR.
Clark, by the authority vested in him by
the state of Vermont, recorded the vote
and forbid man's attempting to get it re-
con. idered. The happy ra'r were so well
satisfied with the result of the election, and
conducted themselves so admirably through
the election, that forbear saying any thing
further than wishing Joe and Emma a hap
py and prosperous life. 8.

The late rains cause much rejoicing
among our farmers.
MIR. Allen G. Clark has reason to feel
| proud of his success so far, as principal of
the Londonderry academy. The attend
| ance is not so large this year as formerly,
| but parents and pupils unite in expressing
their entire satisfaction with the teacher.
A game of base ball, played Saturday,
Sept I'd, at South Londonderry, between
the Farmer club of Shrewsbury and the
resolutes of Londonderry, resulted in vic
tory for the Farmers, the score standing
33 to "a in favor of the Shrewsbury boys.
| The Resolutes will challenge them for an
other game when they feel confident OF
victory.
