persons, who might have learned from any
boy In the village that no trains passed
Sunday night, went into the depot through
the window. After inspecting for money
or tickets, finding none, and fearing the
appearance of a railroad butcher, they left
without having their cash.
l think the people are the losers in ex-
changing Old Probabilities for ESQ. Indica.
tons. When Old Probs. had charge of the
weather we occasionally had a thaw, was
not obliged to melt Snow to wash dishes.
IL is drought, drought and snow, snow, etc.
Would not be surprised that when ESQ.
Cations time is out he would be allowed 10
retire on batf pay. Then would the female
portion of the community be better natured.

%PouLTNEY.
The concert given by the Baptist Sab
bath school, in their church, last Sunday
evening, surpassed all previous efforts, both
in the high order of its exercises and the
manner Of rendering them. Among the
moro noticeable features Of the evening
was "Hold the Fort" sung in Welsh by
three young Misses, and the Rotations by
Carl Cole, Harry Sherman, Charlie Has.
Bins, Misses Lulu Haskins, Anna Pritch-
ard, Ella Wsrd and Jennie B~roughton.
The occasion vas truly a pleasant one and
will long be remembered by those present.
The week Of prayer is being observed
with appropriate services by our Baptist
and Methodist denominations. The SER
vices are held alternately each evening in
the two churches.
The meeting of lot owners In the Poult-
ney cemetery, appointed to be held at the
| nf1pp Of q F EHAu MAuIoU npon.nn
Jan. 8, is adjourned to meet at the same
place on Monday evening, Jan. 10, at z
o'clock.
The twenty-ffth anniversary of the mar.
rage of r. o. Dye and wife was celebrat-
ed by a silver wedding at their residence,
IN this village, last Saturday evening.
Quite a large company of friends were
present, and spent q very pleasant evening.
The presents amounted TO nearly $50.
The third lecture in the II. G. A. course,
will be delivered by Prof. B. F. Leggett,
in the NJ. L. church, Tuesday evening,
Jan. 16.. Subject: "a month in Italy. u
The lecture is highly spoken of, and the
admission fee being only 10 cents, it is
placed within the reach of all.
EAST HUBBARDToN.
The singing school of Mr.. +. A. Thomas
is progressing finely. Spending an hour OIL
two in the last session, l was strongly i'm.
pressed with the great excellence of the
school. 1t is to be hoped that the pupils
will appreciate their opportunity, and ap.
ply themselves we'll to the rules and prac.
tice of music.
The snow has nov fallen to a depth that
rather binders travel and business. The
want OF water operates in the same direc.
ton. The saw-mills in this vicinity are
doing no business for want of water. TIT
grist-mill IN Hortonville uses only one rur
of stone. And yet the brooks furnish
water for stock, though many wells arr
dry or nearly go.
We are apt to think that such q winter il
unprecedented, but we forget. There will
soon be, doubtless, plenty of water, mort
perhaps than we can well utilize.
The storm on Sunday, Jan 7, blockade
the roads, and left some of our school
without a teacher on Monday following
And Monday a storm commenced toward
evening and continued until the road
needed blowing out again on Tuesda,
morning.
Our farmers appear to enjoy life. Earl,
Rose potatoes sell for 30 cents per bushel
butter brings q good price and health an,
wealth meet us on every hand.
What the country most needs Is an intel
ligent appreciation Of our great privilege
and our many comforts-and true thank
fulness to the Giver of all good. Let u
turn from all our petty strifes and conse
crate our time and energies to the one worl
of doing good.
