PLYMOUTH.

Farmers hereabouts have found it rather
up hill business to push their haying along
very fast for the last few days, on the &C
count of the great abundance of rain. A
great many are not more than half through
and some not even that.
The "Burt' school district, situated in
the easterly part of the town, has been the
scene of a good deal of i'll feeling between
some few persons for come time past.
One law suit has grown out Of the FUN
pleasantness," the district having been
sued by person holding claim against
it. A portion of the tax payers, regarded
the suit as purely ''veXatious," and that the
person bringing it, had no moral, if he had
legal right to do as he did. On the other
hand, the person who instituted the suit,
claims he had good and sufficient rea-
sons for doing as he did. The result as
matter of course, being elimination and re-
elimination between different members of
the district.
The PARTY animus thus engendered, was
very plainly shown al school meeting
held at the district school house, on Satur-
day night the 28th inst. The meeting held
on until about midnight. A proposition
was laid before the meeting that the school
house be opened for religious meetings.
Now, 1t is hardly probable that this motion
would have met with any serious opposi-
ton, had it not been offered by the person
who had but recently put the district to ex-
pense. But, coming from the source it did
either directly or indirectly, the motion was
voted down. The meeting finally adjourn
ed 4; but that part of the district which
wanted the house opened for religious
meetings, thought they could carry their
point by making stand on, or near the
steps of the house, and there remaining !;
the other side, to circumvent this project,
took possession of the house on the inside.
The result being that between locks, keys,
and duplicates, the no meeting party kept
possession of the house throughout that
night, and so much of the following Sab
| bath, as prevented the house from being
used as place of worship the persons 80
| desiring it, having already given notice of
a meeting to be held at the place on Sunday
the following day. We understand the
"masters of the situation" were so much in
earnest to carry out successful occupancy,
| that they had reserve to relieve those who
had kept garrison suitable length of time,
and that an improvised commissary depart
ment, actually carried and dispensed pro
visions to those keeping swatch and ward
over the beleaguered house. Pretty goot
for six by eight school district, we should
say. The meeting, which part of thu
district expected would be held at thu
school house on Sunday, was held at thu
residence of the principal party instead, OIL
one side of the question at issue.
