The entertainment by the ladies
of the Episcopal Society Friday
evening proved IL success, so much
SO that it was repeated the f flowing
evening. The proceeds, $40, we to
be invested in cushions for the new
church.
Dartmouth is not to withdraw
from the international Boating AS
ISOLATION. A crew will be sent to
Saratoga next summer. They have
already been selected, and ara in
training. There are only two chang
es from the crew of last year, aud
these are both evidently stronger
men, than the ones who rOwed in
their places last season.
The State election is the great
question at present. The students
seem to be unusually interested this
year. a Republican Club has been
formed with about 200 members.
The college is by large majority
Republican. In the Senior class
numbering seventy, sixty are Repub-
licanS t ten Democrats. The 9th.
err classes are politically divided in
abouC the same proportion. Who
of the students can vote here, is a
question which now naturally arises.
The board of selectmen have decid-
ed that the law as it now stands is
practically this, those of the prop
er age who are supporting them
selves, and have no permanent resi-
dence in view, are legal voters.
Gen. Garfield of Ohio spoke be-
fore the Republican club Tuesday
evening.
A College recess of three days
next week, Oh account of election.
PIERMONT.
A series of religious meetings
closed last week. Including those
on Sabbath evenings, about forty
were holden. Fifteen or twenty
conversions are claimed. The meet
ings were well attended throughout,
and more than average zeal and
spirit manifested.
Tuesday evening this week is the
Congregational Donation Sociable
at the Hall. No refreshments, and
therefore less than the usual attrac-
tons but the attendance will doubt.
less be good, and the occasion very
pleasant.
Friday evening, 10th inst, the
young folks cram up the Hall with
a"Twelve o'clock Party )" by which
we understand that their mothers
consented to indulge them, on con-
dition they return at Glow twelve"
a pious plan, and wor ny of all
communication. Celleys Band is
engaged and if emusic hath
charms to soothe the savage sOul,'
those Walls will "do" some tall lul-
labys. We bespeak Il jolly time for
the children.
Two or three good farms in Pier,
mont have recently changed hands.
The Capt. Woodbury. place on the
brook road--one of the best stock
and dairy farms in tOwn-having
been under cloud for several years,
is now emerging, and we hope to
rank and do duty as a first class es-
adjustment. There is some excel
lent land in that part of the town,
but "go West, young man." has
been giving it back, with thousands
upon thousands of New England
acres, to bushes, bears and barba
riSm. But tides ebb as well as flow
and "Westward the Star of EN-
pire takes it's way.' will some day
be reversed and then the deserte d
hill sides and valleys Of "old New
England" will blossom like Judea
when the Jews 90 home; and the
mountains will clap hands and be
glad.
The result of the late trial at
Plymouth was not satisfactory here,
for most of our people have decid-
ed opinions in regard to the case
but butter guilty man discharged
than an Innocent one condemned.
The decision of juries, however, is
not final ; for as sure as the fOunda
ton of the earth. ''thO' hand Joined
in hand, the wicked shall not go
