 DEAR SIR :--If stranger was to drop into this beautiful village just at this time he would see by the looks of the peoples countenances that there was some secret trouble which wbeighs alike on rich and poor, high and low; but on enquiry he. would find that we were in danger of losing one of our most re- spected and influential citizens; and there is some talk of calling town meet ing to see if some action cannot be taken town-wise that will induce him to re- main. This is small, but thriving yil- lage, and we cannot afford to lose its handspring of action by letting some of its heaviest business men move out
 The new blacksmith shop is fast near ing completion It will be one of the finest shops in all it's requirements in the State.
 There was special town meeting last Saturday to take into consideration the advisabilily of laying out new road Lover by Grants saw-milf.

QUIZ SOLONS.

Our Congressional Solons are not
making much Roadway in their legisla-
tive lAbors. There is considerable trim
ming of sails aud watching of events.
The political horizon does not appear
10 be altogether cloudless to the vision
of some who were ONCE bold TO attack
and slow to retreat, and there is hest
fancy and doubt in quarters where an
aggressive policy might have been ex-
pected. Under these circumstances it
is not anticipated that the present SEES
sion will continue much longer than is
absolutely necessary to complete and
pass the appropriation bills and confirm
The Presidents appointments, This is
perhaps not to be regretted. The coun-
try is slowly but we hope surely recov-
tring from prolracted period of disas-
fer and depression, aud any undue e1-
element caused by unwise Legislation is
certainly to be deplored Time and a
healthy public sentiment will possibly
lead the nation into higher life, and it
would be great shame if we were to
be once more deprived of that peace
and prosperity which We have SO long
hoped and struggled to obtain.

NEEDED Il EFOES u.

One OF the most unpleasant features
OF the times appears to be the utter dis
regard of moral obligations and purity
in every day business life, In the West
and in the North more especially with
in comparatively short period of time
q considerable number of savings insti-
,utious have been forced or thrown into
liquidation by the rascally conduct Of
those entrusted with their management;
and the worst of it is the fast that those
who have thus brought ruin and dis
tress to hundreds of poor families are
what are known as people OF the better
and higher classes, There is great need
of reformation in this regard, but we
presume there will be no end to this
sort OF ,hievery until we shall have
learned to punish the high as well as
the low and humble with the same Wig
orous and memorable hand.
