Austin Woodward, who is on his
way to the Centennial. writes us on
a postal card from the little village of
New Yolk, 81 find things looking
hard! We need Tilden and Reform.
I leave on Monday for Philadelphia,
will certainly have to hear Gov. Sam
uel J. Tilden speak Thursday at the
New York state building, centennial
grounds. Tiden and Reform, every
time, and don't you forget it.
Lots of good political matter may
be found in this weeks AGE. Our
correspondence are numerous and
good. The letter from Il Liberal Re-
publican, signed Gone Of the Read
ers," on the first page, is worthy of
special attention also our Washing
ton letter.
DR.. r. II. Paddock's free lecture
on "sound" Friday evening, was a
very fine thing, and appreciated by all
who heard it. The Doctor is good
speaker, and has the faculty Of making
himself clear even to the common
mind. 1t would appear from the
lecture that he has devoted much
time to extending the boundry lines
oil useful knowledge, and that he has
been successful. The audience was
not very large, owing probably to the
bad state of the weather and darkness.
We hope the Doctor will give us Il
series Of lectures on this subject the
coming winter, and charge small
admittance fee for each.
Repairs have been commenced on
the Congregational meeting house. A
heavy coat OF paint on ;he outside
constitute one repair, the others we
have not yet learned.
MIR. Rhodes of Boston is in town
to repair up those old clothes wriugers.
The prices are very low and we hope
all will improve this grand opportunity
to have their wringers put in first
class condition. He will do them at
the Eagle Hotel. Send them in.

Co.'S advertisement.
The birds are leaving. yellow
leaves float down from the trees, and
the melancholy chirp OF the cricket
fills the air. Autumn is surely here.
We think an" was unjust in his
remarks about the old band last week.
We think the band has rendered a
quid pro quo for money received from
our citizens, and it vas owing to I'M
avoidable circumstances that they
have not furnished music this summer.
They have always been willing and
ready. The town of st. Johnsbury
votes annually $500 to its band. $500
would nearly cover all the band has
had in the way of subscriptions. This
is stating the thing squarely, aud we
hope no new band, old band, or any
other man, will take offence.

tennial at Philadelphia.
1t takes three figures now to en-
umerate the Democratic vote of Wood
