TOWN MEETING.

Town meeting, last Tuesday, was I'M
usually lively, in consequence of the con-
test over the question of building the "cave
bank road" which the old board of select
men-conslstlng of S. N. Herrlck, Farley
Starr and Henry Akley-had laid out and
were in favor of building, but which many
citizens OF the town were opposed to. The
opponents Of the road held caucus Mon
day evening, and nominated a board of
selectmen known to be uniavorable TO the
road, namely, George G. Allen, VIM. f.
Richardson, and Dwight Goodenough.
Ten o'clock, the hour for opening town
meeting, found nearly all the legal voters
OF the town present. The reading of the
warrant was followed by the choice of S. N.
Herrick for moderator, when the meeting
proceeded to act upon the several articles
in the warrant, in their order.
For town clerk, VIM. S. Newton was re-
elected by reclamation, this being his four
teenth election. Before proceeding to the
election of selectmen, desire was express
ed TO have Mr.. Herrick explain his action
in relation to the ''cave bank road" and
also In regard to certain items of expendi-
tune as selectman and ov0rseer. This he
did at some length, and to the general sat
isfaction, as appeared from the subsequent
ballot, which resulted as follows;

Pulp.-We dropped into the pulp fac
tory on Wednesday and Tor the first time
witnessed the manufacture of that article.
1t is little dustier in there than in a
Touring mill, and the article manufactured
from poplar wood resembles -four very
much, and that manufactured from bass
wood would he taken for corn meal, il
found in feed store. Messrs. Bowers &
CURTIS are turning out three tons Of pulp
per week by running all day and a portion
OF the night, with the six cylinders which
they have had in operation since they
started, for which they find ready mar
ket as fast as made. They expect within
few days to have six more cylinders in
operation which will double their present
capacity.

Chrisiain ThOughtfulness. - On
Thanksgiving rsorning, little girl was
seen drawing small sled along our streets
on which was sitting basket. Oninquiry
of the little girl, we learned that the bas-
ket had been flied by her grandmother,
an aged widow lady, with provision for n
dinner for poor woman. What lesson
that simple act conveyed! While the
most of our people were preparing TO gorge
themselves with the choicest luxurics and
delicacies of the season, how few thought
OF the destitute poor and sought for pleas
ure in ministering to the wants and COM
folts of those who had not the means nee
essary TO provide themselves with even the
commonest nccessarics of life. This act
not only sent joy to the heart Of Il poor
sufferer, but it doubtless impressed most
valuable lesson upon the mind and heart
OF the grand-child who was made the mes
senger for carrying out this act of chris
tian thoughtiulncss.

ITEMS FROM GRAND RAPIDS

GRAND RAPIDS, Nov. 22l, 1876.
EDITOR JOURNAL Thinking perhaps
few items from our place" might prove
of interest to some of your readers, at
least, | will attempttO to furnish them. First
have to record is the sudden death by ac-
cidcnt, of George Fuller, the particulars Of
which are as follows: He, with several
other young men started on hunting ex
pedition few days since into Putnam Co
Nothing further was heard from the party
until yesterday, when a telegram was re-
ceived by his mother, saying George is
dead" 1t seems that the party were Just
starting out for the days sport, young Full
Ter in advance, and when near their boat
he slipped and in trying to recover himself
the hammer of his gun struck the boat disi
charging its contents, which entered his
left side causing almost instant death.
Such is the sud end OF young man who,
through industry end steady habits, had
won the esteem of all who knew him.
Work on the Railroad and Wagon bridge
is progressing. The piers are completed
and abutments are under way. | under
stand the frame work OF the bridge is
ready to take it's place MS soon ma the stune-
work is completed, and we expect the wag-
ons will soon cross the Maumee high and
dry."
Our new School House is receiving the
finishing touches Of the painters brush and
is certainly credit TO our town.
Several new residences are building and
everything indicates that Grand Rapids is
to he village of no small Importance, and
see no reason why it should not be, sur
rounded Ms 1t ia by rich farming country,
peopled by as industrious and go'ah cad
class of farmers as can be found anywhere
and aa transportation wall be cheaper
than almost any other town in the county
il must necessarily become one Of the very
best grain markets. But, Mr.. Editor fear
ing may make this communication to
lengthy, will close. Yours, MACK.

Ed. JoURNAL:-The great Centennial

election passed, and Boss Tweed" once
more peeping through the bars, perfectly
secure FROM intrulers within, and burglars
without.
Amidst all this strife and turmoil, your
humble correspondent still lives, moves and
has a being, and has not yet vamoscd,''
notwithstanding he has remained weeks in
silence. Well, in this part of the "moral
vineyard all are on tip-toe of excitement
about the fina! result OF the late election
Officials are loudly discussing the situation
and course to pursue, Men, women, and
even children cOngregate on the street cor
ners, assemble in bar-rooms, saloons, the
more modest In parlors and angrily contend
that their favorite party is right, and the
opposite all fraud. The most bold and hot
headed ones "hurrah for JEFF. Davis and
Booth" and even launt the old rebel flag
again, and declare they will fight il Til
den is not inaugurntcd as the next Prcsi-
dent The scenes of 1860 are being re.en-
acted and threats made of the blackest

In this Sixth Congressional district.

ex.member from this district, John Richie,
was uxultant over the result rs fist de-
clared, called on restaurant keeper TO
furnish and deliver eataEles, &C., at his
house, with which to treat his friends and
enjoy a Jolly good time for their success.
His better half being Of strong Republi-
can proclivities, entered the dining room
after tho feast was prep lred, scattered
the victuals and wines, smashed the dishes
generally, declaring tina; no rebel should
be entertained in her house. She was ms
