LUDLOW.
Some cratic, poetical nondescript, ven
tilates his spleen against rainy weather in
general by the inquiry, "Whst lady likes a
rainy dayi" 1t 10 barely possible there
may be a few thoughtless specimens Of fe-
male humanity, more particularly the sort
who spend the larger part Of their time in
playing croquet in some dirty yard, who
| sympathize with sentiment embodied in the
above quotation; but the sensible part of
Mother Ewes daughters we are perfectly
| sure look upon the subject in altogether a
different light.
OF one thing we are "pop sure" and that
Is that the farming part of the community
in this section were highly gratified when
the windows Of heaven were once more
opened and it commenced to rain as it did
on Tuesday night last.
To the waiting granger, fearful that his
| crop OF hay was being seriously effected by
the continued drouth, you had but to take
the dimensions of his countenance after
''the floods had descended"
| To be sure you had In his face the full proof,
| That to him there's no music like rain on the
| roof.
The timely rain may have allayed the
granger's fears in respect to an early and
damaging drought, but how about the COL
orado potato bug2 He defies both the
| scorching rays of the sun and the drench-
ing, even the inundsting rain! Certainly
no shower composed OF different ingre-
dents from that which descended on the
| doomed cities of the plain, has any sort of
business with them But "where there .
will there's way" and so the farmer
fully armed with "pest poison" and 'Paris
green" wages an exterminating war on the
rapacious, unsightly bug The above
named articles are said to be specifics for
DISCRIMINATING the detested interloper, mi
grating from far off, and next to uninhab-
tied regions. 1t will be a happy era fol-
the farmer and all lovers of the esculent
tuber, when the mission of the potato bug
is through, and he takes his final, If moi
precisely "new departure"
The monotony of our every day life here
was logged trifle day or two since by
the trial of person for the alleged INSIDE
| meanor of getting d."~l- THO eeeca;o-
paa that of fishing, the taking of suckers
in the night time. The trial was before a
jury of six impartial men, "most noted fol
wisdom. But even jury OF this unexcep
tionable character were unable 10 agree,
and so the case "hangs fire." There
seemed to have been trif1e of bad blood
eDgendered, growing out of dividing up the
pile of finny bony suckers. Some of the
jury seemed to think that possibly that had
full as much to do with the bringing of the
suit as the subservance Of the public veal
And then, as appeared in evidence, thu
prosecuting party "went q fishing" wei
armed with old cider and so some were &C
ungracious as to hint that it might be diff
ficult to say for a dead certainty which
party was the most "cornder," as Ventrilo
quist Harrington would say. However, VI
suspect one party was more so than thu
other, but whether as much so as the Law
requires, will probable be the princIpa
point for the next panel to cipher out.
The Universalist church and society or
Sunday last extended an invitation to the
state convention of this denomination t
hold it's next annual session at this place
The invitation will probably be accepted
through the conventions general secretary
Rev. M. II. Harris of Brattleboro. III,
time of the meeting of the convention Il
somewhere from the 25th to the last of tn,
month of August. Ludlow being on tht
line of the railroad and quite central, it il
very likely the meeting will be quite fully
attended.

Memorial day came and went like othel
days, Sunday excepted. We had no orato
to put tongue In the wounds of our sub
stltutes and to tell us how smart 1t was To-
them to die for our native country, an,
how determined we were to "sacrIfice al
our wives relations" to put down the wick
ed rebellion. But July and August are no
