We are preparing a club list for
1878, which will embrace nearly every
periodical that the readers of the MoNI-
TOR will desire, and shall give our pre-
payers, the advantage of the lowest club
rates. We can save you some money
on your papers and magazines.
We publish the card of the Boston
Weekly Journal this week, and our
readers will see that this excellent paper
comes at reduced prices this year. The
Journal is always reliable, intelligent,
fair and full, and no man who wants a
weekly paper need look for better.
Mr.. R. Phillips of North Williston,
having seen some of our large stories,
writes us that from $50 cabbage plants
he raised 1870 heads, all of extraordina-
ry size; the best one measured four feet
in circumference, and weighed 20 lbs.
He has a calf seven months old that
weighs 750 pounds.
The fall term of the schools in this
village is drawing to close, and very
few of the parents and citizens have Wis
tied them. The schools are in a pros
porous condition, but it might be encour-
aging to the teachers and beneficial to
the pupils, if the patrons of the school
would visit it. "a word to the wise, &c. -
We understand Mr.. Davis is driven
with orders this fall, having already
made over one hundred pairs of French
Kip boots. No wonder when he adver-
tises them Ito wear any man year. "
Cheap boots are about as profitable as
burning green wood, and people are dis
covering that it is economy to buy good
boots.
G.. w. Bridgman and John Bean, hav-
ing closed their trade, have changed
places. Mr.. Bean is closing out the
goods in the market at low rates. He
does not intend to follow the meat and
provision business, but will continue in
the business of selling patent milk pans,
in which he has been very successful,
aud commands good salary.
On account of the general anxiety in
regard to the condition of Isaac X. Drew
and Oscar Owen, we state this morning
that Mr.. Drew is thought to be really
no worse, though suffering considerably
more from his injuries than at first. Mr..
Owen remains so nearly the same from
day to day. that it is impossible to tell
whether he is better or worse.
Find the prospectus of Harper'S Mag
asine on the fourth page. This is the
standard periodical of the times, always
fresh, interesting and useful. We al
ways lay down a number feeling thai
it is really the best one we ever read
and not expecting to see another as good
but they grow better and still better
No one gets cheated who subscribes fol
either of Harper's periodicals.
Last Monday night. as Isaac X. Drew

West Burke, down the WillOughby LAX,
road-it being very dark-the horses
