F. w. Silsby of St. Johnsbury
spent few days with us last week,
selling goods at auction. A. II. Boz
nett Esq. of Island Pond did the talk
ing and he just knows how to do it
100.
The whitehall Bros. gave one of
their excellant entertainments here
last Friday night. Miss Alice, fills
all with wonder at her cornet and
violin solos, singing &c. Mr.. Prindle
is master Of his profession, and, in
our estimation, is the best that travels
through this section. They are
gentlemanly set of boys, and they
have our most sincere wishes for their
success.
The Grange of this place, is build
ing large block, 40 X 70 feet. 1t is
to be finished with large hall in the
upper part, and below it will be finish
ed off into shops of different kinds.
This will be the largest building of the
kind in the State.
Our Postmaster, and attorney, Geo.
w. Hartshorn, we are sorry to learn
has been very sick, the effect of TAX
ing a violent cold. We are glad he
is better now.
Mr.. G. II. Weeks our gtntnanly
landlord, is full Of business. Each
night finds large number of wagons
and horses, finding shelter in his SPA
cious barn, and the drivers have found
out that the hospitable roof of Mr..
Weeks is just the place to be we'll
cared for, and pass comfortable
night. Mr.. w. is also some on farm
ing. He has now 43 bushels of pota-
toes planted, and about the same am
cunt Of oats, and he cuts SEQ tons of
hay.
The job of repairing the cemetery
both inside and out has been let to j.
C. Carbee who is prosecuting the
work with all possiable haste.
Last Saturday morning our citizens
were startled TO find that very heavy
frost had visited the place while they
were wrapped in the arms of sleep
On account of heavy fog it was pre-
vented from doing much or any dam
age.
Hon. Frank Jones, one of oul
neighboring States Congressman
passed through here the 81, with thrce
fine horses which he purchased in
Canad a. The three horses cost him
duties and all, $1,000. lie proposes
to astonish the natives of Washington
with them.
BRUNSWICK.
Crops are looking finely in this Sec
ton.
Our Postmaster Mr.. Smith, is re-
operating at Saratoga at presant.
The Springs House has been put
through a course of thorough repair
ing for the season. The managing
proprietor DR.. ID. 0. Rowell, is a
yonng, energetic man, and one that
will command the respect and liberal
patronage of the entire travelling pub
lie. We found this q very fine house,
and kept in fine shape. We had the
pleasure of forming the acquaintance
of High Sheriff Rogers of Colebrook,
high Sheriff of Coos Co., also Hon.
Chas. Bellows of Lancaster N. II.
The following is few Of the guests
there for their health: Mr.. Rogers
and family, Rev. Mr.. Harris and
Mrs. Shurtleff of Colebrook fIon.
Chas. Bellows and Mrs. j. b. Brown
of Lancaster. Mr.. Quimby and fam
lily of Bethlehem, and quite a number
OF others, whose names we did not
learn. The foundation of success for
this house seems to lay in the springs
which are connected with the premises.
There are six springs, all of different
water. The Sulphur springs are re-
markablc. There is one spring which
possesses large amouAt of Iron, and,
finally, they are all possessed of an I'M
usual amount of mineral properties.
Tile guests of this house claim that the
curative powers of these springs arc
unexcelled in the country, and the Dir.
seems confident (and we think he has
sufficient foundation for his conf.
dence) that he has a water cure equal
ly as good as either st. Leon, Or Sar-
atoga. We can heartily reccomend
