A PUBLIC BENEFAcToR.-Dr. J. G.
Aver, of Lowell Mass, the well known
proprietor of the popular medicines,
has proved himself public benefac.
tor by donating new Town Hall to
the town of Aver, named after him
self, and situated not far from Low
ell. The edfce cost about 100000,
and contains two public halls, one Of
which will seat 1000 people, also q
library room, Post Office, &c. We
have received a copy of the Lowell
Voc Popatli, of the Sth inst, in
which we find full account of the
dedication of the new Hall, which
took place on the I'd. Mr.. F. F.
Aver, eldest son of the Dr., made the
presentation address in lieu of his
father, who it will be remembered is
suffering from mental arrangement,
to which his son feelingly alluded in
his very appropriate remarks on the
occasion. Col. Needham, of Boston,
then delivered an grafton, which was
followed by Poem by John S. Col
by, speeches by other citizens, mu-
sic, and a repast, closing with ball

A lady friend, visiting me the other day, CHANGED
to pick up half-sheet of worn county paper.
Glancing over its columns, she remarked, 'what
rough language they use in the Highland News"
Astonished, said, 1 always thought the News re-
markably free from any thing of the kind, and
looking at the offending word, 'this is certain
ly not the News" Looking up at one corner of the
paper, we found was right. 1t was a neighbor-
ing county paper. Hasty condemnation will not
do for newspapers, any more than persons. But
the moral wish TO draw from the incident, If you
will allow ne is this. Editors should be careful to
make their papers pure in language, and of high
moral tone. Think how many youths and children
read these papers who get but little else to read.
And how much their tastes, nay, even character,
are moulded by their reading.

The Louisiana Returning
Board.

A great deal Of abuse is heaped,
just now, by Democratic organs and
partisans, on the gentlemen compos-
ing the Returning Board of louisa
ma. They are represented to be ig-
norant men, of the most despicable
character-the mere creatures of
Gov. Kelogg-who could not be
trusted with five dollars, to say moth
ing of the duty of determining what
is the legally and honestly expressed
will of the people at the ballot box.
Whatever may be the character of
the members of the Board-there be-
ing one vacancy-two are white men,
and two colored. One of the form er
is Hon. J. Madison Wells, life e-long
resident of the State, a citizen of
wealth and Union man during the
war, and deemed fit to be Governor
of the State on its reorganization to-
ward the close of the war. The ha-
tired now displayed against him is
largely due to his position as an op-
ponent of secession. His white asso-
ciate-General Anderson-is also a
wealthy planter and an old citizen of
the State, having served in the State
Legislature for over quarter of
century, and inclined to conserva
tism in politics. The two colored
men-Messrs. Casanave and Kenner
are also represented to be men of
property, standing and intelligence.
The abuse of them is founded chiefly,
if not wholly, in political prejudice
and partisan hate. There is proba-
bly, not one of them who is not the
in intelligence, capacity and
to their most malevolent
ass ilants.- [Ex.

RAIN AND MELTED SNOW
The "BuiIdOzers.,

The meaning of this new word has
thus been explained by Southern
newspaper:
The pleasant brethren. of the
Stop political party-were in
the habit of giving warning calls
once, twice, three times, to those
whom they demand should join the
''Stop." If on the third and last call
they did not comply with the de-
mand and take the oath, the unfor-
tunate negro who refused was taken
to the words and given ''bulldose"
of the cowhide on his naked back. A
cool hundred well laid on was
considered bulls dose for once,
and the victim either listened to such
potent reasoning and took the oath
as a member, or fled the country.
From the bulls dose soon came the
verb to bull doze.

Thanksgiving Day was observed here by fsii
attendance at the NJ. E. Church, where brief ad.
dresses were made by our pastor. Rev. Hunter and
P. N. Wickerham, closing with the grand old hymn

which had continued over weeks, and during
which there had been 81 accessions and quite q

The grand Centennial is still the subject of oc-
casional remarks. One who was there has the te-
merity to compare it to "fan-tangled fox chase "
and strangely enough, on beholding the crowding
and squeezing of the fair in the tumultuous effort
to gain admittance to Governor, on Ohio's day,
came TO the sage conclusion, "that the wonderful
est thing of all, the amount of pressure to which
woman may be subjected without injury"
Mr.. s. Patton and lady, who were present at the
closing of the Exhibition, speak of the fire works
as grand and magnificent.

HALLELUJAH!
SETTLED AT LAST !
and His NAME is HAYES P!
LOUISIANA AND FLORIDA
GIVE HIM II VOTES,
MAKING JUST 1856

| The long agony is over, and we
have the pleasure of announcing to
our readers that Louisiana and Flor
ida have officially added their II
electoral votes to the Hayes column,
giving him 1S5, just the number re-
quired, and Rutherford B. Hayes, OF
Ohio, is the next President of the
United States.
The Returning Board of Louisiana
rendered their decision on Tuesday,
and announced the majority for the
lowest Hayes eleotor at 3,437, and
the highest 1867, over the Tilden
electors. The Board also returned
majority of about $500 for Packard,
Republican, for Governor, four Re-
publican members of Congress, and
a Republican majority of % in the
notwithstanding two United
States Senators.
Little Florida also comes up all
right, with majority of about HOO
for the Hayes electors, as officially
declared by the Returning Board, and
2 Republican members of Congress.
To-day "wednesday the electors
were to meet in all the States, and
we have no doubt that Gov. Hayes
will receive the full 1876 votes to
which he is lawfully enti tied, in spite
of the rumored efforts to buy off
some one of the electors, and thus
secure his defeat. Any elector
who would thus betray his trust
would be overwhelmed with infamy,
and we do not believe one such a
traitor will be found among the
whole number.
In South Carolina the Democrats
still keep up their separate House
organization, but have surrendered
the State House to the regular Re-
publican organization.
The Republican House counted
the votes for State officers on Mon
day, and returned a majority for
Gov. Chamberlain, and he will prob
ably be inaugurated to-day.
The Democratic Rife Clubs have
assembled at Columbia about 5000
strong, but the United States troops
have thus far been able to keep the
peace.
The S. Carolina Supreme Court is
attempting to steal the electoral
vote from Hayes, but the electors
will no doubt meet and cast their
votes for him, if necessary, under the
protection of the .. S. troops.

Midnight meanderings, visits to chicken roosts,
fattening pens, milk houses cellars, pasture fields
&c., &C., have of late been of quite frequent oc-
currence in this vicinity so much so that the Or

essary. The latest case of stealing that have to
record is as follows:
On Friday night, Nov. "a, calf 10 months old
was taken from the pasture-feld of Mr.. Joseph
Bell. On Saturday morning, the owner went as
usual to feed his STOCK and found to his surprise
that the calf was missing. He began searching
and found where the fence had been laid down aud
the calf driven out into the road. He followed the
trail some distance, then called the assistance of
several ncighbors, and followed the track some
miles to the residence of one, and found
where the calf had been butchered. In the corn
crib they also found the hide which was identified
by the owner. More hereafter. V. c.

Last week our city was traded by a
lot of .ramps and thieves, although so
far as we have heard, they got very little
for their trouble. Attempts were made to
enter the residences of W II. Clark. c..
Cheney, 7. Prentiss J. j. Moulding, j. n
Sleeper and number of others. These
demonstrations nearly ali occurred Thurs
day night. Friday night the Office of
Hamlin and Ford, lumber dealers, near the
Mil. & St. Paul Depot, was entered and
$4,000 in notes against various indi vidua Is
carried Off The safe is generally left I'M
locked, as it is only used as safety against
fire. The thieves found some difficulty,
however, in getting at the iron drawer con
tanning the notes, and used crow bar,
which they got in the rear of the office
building, to accomplish their purpose. The
drawer was found outside On a lumber pile
badly battered and all the contents gone.
The notes stolen can be of no value to any
one out the rightful owners, so that the
thieves gained nothing by the operation
hey ond the trouble entailed on Messrs
Hamiin & Ford to trace up the records
about their papers. That there is gang OF
thieves watching their opportunity to oper-
ate here admits of no doubt, aud every pre-
caution should be used by our citizens to
guard against their visits
