We received q call during The past
week from Charles s. Rice aud Alfred +.
Billings, Of New Orleans. Both OF ibese
geptlemen are northern men who have
settled 10 tbs, city since the war, aud
both were In The Union army. Mr.. Rice
has bad nothing whatever 10 do with
politics aud has buIll up = large A0d Id
cEAlive busIoess. Mr.. Billings has had
more TO do with political matters, being
strong Republican, but has lately at.
tended exclusively TO bis profession aud
is doing well ia Il. Both Of them say
that Hayes policy has worked we'll so
far, and that business prosperity is fast
returning to that city. Mr.. Billings Is
native Of Arlington, and a student at
Buu 4 Burton Seminary in 1878.

Our summer guests who are free
from mosquitoes aud other insect pests
will be pleased to know how they fare at
other resorts A guest at Cape May
heard some one trying to get into the
window Of bis bedroom a few nights
I ago. All Of = sudden the window fell,
aud caught the Intruder by the neck. and
held him fast unit . policeman was sum-
moned, when the supposed robber was
discovered TO be pretty fair specimen
of New Jersey mosquito. The insect
wore a sixteen inch collar, and the space
between the window sash and the sill
was large enough TOR Alexander IL.
Stephens to crawl through without re-
moving bis hat. That is reliable If true.

"A town meeting has been called on
Wednesday, Sept. 18th, at 2 o'clock p.
m, TO SEQ whether the town will aid in
building the proposed Brattleboro and
Whitehall railroad. As is usually the
case there Is wide difference of opinion
In regard TO the actual benefit which our
town would derive ION the road. There
il no doubt but that there would be
marked reduction on heavy ireights,
enough In the whole town 10 pay the 10.
terest on large sum of money. There
would also be considerable benefit de-
rived while the road IL In process of con-
struction. II must also add NOR or less
to the permanent business OF the town.

quire tax of 3.lS on each dollar OF the
grand list II II should be divided Into
ten payments, one each year for ten years
with interest, II would require an annual
tax for that time of about So cents on the
grand list. If the grand list of the town
should be raised In the meantime, the
tax would be proportionally less.
AN eminent divine from the Empire
state recently paid visit to Dellwood
Cemetery aud, like every other visitor
who has taste for poetry, his thoughts
took poetic turn and the following Is
The result Of bis impromptu musings:
Rest among the mountains,
Calm and peaceful sleep;
Precious dust reposing,
Angels yigils Keep.
Far from noise aud tumut,
All the fret OF life;
Sorrow, care forgotten,
Ended all the strife.
Mnrmuring OF waters,
Gentle IN their flow,
Flash of golden sunset,
Purpling in lie glow.
Flowers so richly blooming,
Shed their fragrance there,
With their perfume breathing
Incense on the air.
Round about, the mountains
With their girding wall,
Guarding till the summons
At the Masters call.
Sleepers from the valley
la this last retreat;
Some from fields OF battle
Siumbering so sweet.
Sweeping through the valley
On the evening air,
Whispering OF promise
For the sleepers there.
Jesus, Lord and Master,
Trust we 10 Thy power;
All these dead shall waken
In thy coming hour.
