Eds. Iel.-Our election of yesterday re-
suited in the success of the following tick
et-Trustees, q. P. Newton, G. W. Rhen.

Treasurer, A. B. Luce; Assessor. L. J.

Nathaniel Stanton.
The vote was unusually large, and as
usual about every man had ticket of his
own. In addition to the above, some 16
supervisors of roads and highways, were
elected.
On the evening OF. Wednesday, March
2Sth, the ladies social connected with the
Presbyterian church met at the residence
of DR.. E. M. Webster. With all the re-
freshments of the occasion, warm sugar
was quite conspicuous feature. There
was very fair attendance sufficient to
secure favorable pecuniary results, as also
a good degree of social enjoyment.
Last Sabbath was the regular day for
the communion exercises of the Presbyte-
alan church, in which exercises a goodly
attendance participated. One very interest
ing feature was the uniting with the church
of 16 members; out of the whole number,
IA on profession of their faith.
We occasionally hear some talk about
temperance laborers coming to this town
In their good work. The hope is that they
may come and be instrumental in pointing
out the way for help to some weak and err
ing brothers.
Only one mud-hole in this town.
The robins have come around again, and
with their singing one thing is noticeable
their music is exactly on the same key as
last year, and the very same tunes, also.
Josh says, however, he is as ''tickled as ev-
err to hear them. a.

sented to US. The proposition that the
resting place Of the ashes Of our dead
ought to be the most beautiful Of all in our
region, if voted upon, would receive an ap-
preciative vote. The question appeals i'm
mediately to our finer feelings and the
phantom of taxation is for the moment
overshadowed and we appear in our best
character. The duty of beautifying the
cities of our dead should be religiously and
sscredly observed. 1t can be said to our
shame that for the years we have occupied
the beautiful locality with our lost loved
ones, known as our cemetery, the labor Civ
en- it has been stinted, and its present sp-
pearance does not justify US. That we
have been niggardly, no one viii deny. Let
US in the near future redeem ourselves, and
make the last, long home of those we loved
5 thing of beauty and Of JOY forever.

ROCK CREEK.

Eds. Iel.-0n Monday last, after a spir-
tied contest, the ticket nominated at a eau
Gus of the people on Saturday night was
carried. Though some opposition and Bit
terness was manifested at the election, it
was especially attributable TO the opposing
candidates for constables and their friends.
The borough ticket, made by the same
gathering, was elected. The officers elect
ed are, with one or two exceptions, men Of
good Judgment, and such as will use their
influence for the public good. We shall
look for more concerted action in the boro
legislative body.
The township officials are well known
which precludes comment.
Mr.. F. N Bond, whose sudden death
shocked US all, was buried from his resi-
denee on Tuesday last. Mr.. B. was an old
settler-well known to our people. His
wife and family have the sympathy of the
community in this sudden bereavement.
VIM. B. Quirk, whose sugar bush is west
of this village, and said to be the finest in
the State, reports having made up to the
last Of last week, one thousand pounds Of
sugar. This beautiful grove stands alone,
and is composed of one thousand sugar
NAPLES, about five hundred of which are
large enough to produce sugar.
A disgraceful fight occurred on Beecher
street one night last week between fol-
lower of Murphey and an anti; the anti
was badly punished for his impudenee, and
we hope it will bring him to his senses and
induce him to join the legion.
1t was noticeable fact that little or no
whisky entered into the election this spring.
1t was not an uncommon thing to see evi-
dences of it at the polls heretofore; the
fact of its absence speaks well for the tenn
perance movement.
The marriage of one of the "bhoys" is
talked of as an event in the near future.
The new landlord takes possession this
week; the old one will remove into his
new house in the western part Of the city.
What about our "grange'-is it squeleh-
ed? We have seen no evidences of activity
lately.
The vote for constables, over which the
greatest fight was made, stood as follows:
Latimer, 180; St. John, 179; White, 1O7;
Knowlton. 70.
= Our people begin to talk Of gardening,
aud if the weather continues warm, onions,
etc., will be started soon.
A petition was presented to the council
on Wednesday evening, praying that the
water now turned off Main street on to
Iawton street be so disposed Of as not to
nester the dwellers on that street.

The election returns win be found in the
proper place.
That the matter of our cemetery has been
one of difference between the factions of
our town for years, every one knows. The
history of the present location is fresh in
every mind; it needs no rehearsal. With
the many arguments for and against the
vresent location, which have long since
lost their significance, We have nothing
whatever to do. The fact regarding the
site ss fixed one and we with others ae-
cent the thing as it is. Now in this cynic-
al paragraph we do not propose to raise
dead issues, but pitch into that side Of the
ouestidn which appears at this time pre-

Rev. ]. H. DUNCAN, Supt., and b. j.
Stone, Jr.. assistant, never connect them
selves with failure. The singing and re-
citations were admirable; one Of the most
attractive features of the evening was
large star, about three feet in diameter,
beautifully designed, in which each OF the
twenty-five scholars deposited gilt letter
commencing the verse, which they re-
peated to the audience. after which score
or more of little miniature tapers were set
ablaze all over the star and brought out in

We understand that subscription Is IN

Of either the other churches; we believe
the subscribers have assumed the name Of

their church organization, or agreed upon
a code of rules or articles of faith, but for
the present they win take the Bible for
their guide until they can get something
better.

Being at Dodgeville on Sunday last, it
vas our good fortune to be the guest Of
Nr. Calvin Dodge and lady. We found the
generous hospitality Of the family some
what typiied by the proportions Of the
short horn stock, in which Mr.. Dodge is the
largest and most noted raiser and dealer
IN the county. Although ne has fine
herd on hand. he informed us that the
market was torpid and did not promise
much for the season. The cattle trade,
generally. is depressed. and dealers are
biding their time. Beside neat stock, Mr..
Dodge has embarked in sheep raising, and
last year placed % Canada imported coarse
wools upon his place, which averaged
fieeces Of nine pounds piece.
A ear load of horses had been bought up
and were to have been shipped on Tuesday,
for an eastern market. by Messrs. Calendar
& Hill. The purchasing prices ranged
low.
-Messrs. Hubbard and Pettibone show
themselves to be earnest and efficient Ia
borers in this marvellous Murphy move
ment. They carry with them the largest
audiences that gather here and at other
places, where they are invited to speak and
inaugurate the work. Their utterances
are attended with all the effects Of elo-
quence. not only, but they have in addi-
ton, the power that attaches to the story
Of personal experience. The fidelity OF the
pictures drawn are recognized and their
trutbfulness and force admitted, and the
logic of their arguments proves to be ire
sistible. Having accomplished a great
work upon themselves, they talk to others
like those having authority. Who viii
undertake to estimate the happiness which |
their effort are bringing to the homes and |
hearts of hundreds-thousands, may we |
not ssy-who have been reached, directly |
or indirectly, by the reforms that they
have been instrumental in bringing about?
