TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS.

Guildhall.
More locals after the Presidential vote
is declared.
We publish the full text of the bill for
counting the electoral vote, and the able
speech in its advocacy by Senator Ed
munds of this State, to the exclusion
of much local and miscellaneous matter,
believing our readers will be interested
in reading them. Don't fail to give both
careful perusal.
We still live, though it might be thought,
judging from the scantiness of communi-
cations from G. that we were dead and
entombed. But as the town does not
own either hearse or tomb, we have con-
cluded to live little longer. Most of US
commenced the new year with 4 purpose
to mind our own business and faithfully
observe our motto, ado good and get
good" yet for all that Queen Gossip holds
n mighty sway over this community; but
then you know, Mr.. Editor, that during
the holidays she has greater license than
at other seasons. How patent to any
ones observation that mankind (not to
say womankind) are very much like chick
ems, for the former swallow gossip with
as much greed as the latter do corn.
Bishop Hall says there would not be so
many open mouths if there were not so
many open ears. Leighton says calumny
would soon starve and die if nobody took
it in and gave it lodging. We hope that
while the gospel shall continue to be dis
pensed from both pulpits to a people will
ling to hear (and obey, of course) this
evil will receive its deserts, and an ODE
dent people will reform.
At present we have not evenings enough
in the week for the stated home interests
to say nothing Of those which are tran
sient and foreign. Last Sabbath eve, at
the M. E. church, w. S. Robinson, Esq,
delivered an interesting temperance lee
ture. Two weeks before he was here and
laid the foundation for Reform Club,
which numbers about 100 members.

During the past fortnight our quiet
community has been greatly shocked, by
series of frightful accidents on the
Grand Trunk. Mention has boen made of
the first accident. The passenger train
run of the track in Gilead; Nat Mitchell,
tue flreman, fingered about week and
died. The engineer, Mr.. Doyle, is net cx-
pected to live; he was reported unhurt,
but was found later to be internally in
jured. In less than fortnight Martin
Jackman brakeman was bit in the head
by an over-pass at Stratford although
dangerously hurt hopes are entertained of
his recovery. A few days later John E.
Willis wellknoWn and highly esteemed
citizen of Gorham, was struck by q pass
ing train at West Milan depot, and in
stantly killed. The same afternoon (Sat)
the goth, Woodbury. Jackman, a brakeman
slipped beneath the train at South Paris,
and was instantly killed. He leaves a
wife and two children, his wife was ON
the train when the accident occurred.
Woodbury. and Martin Jackman were
sons of Barak Jackman of Gorham, and
it is a singular case, that two brothers,
both brakemen on the same road, should
be injured one fatally and other danger
ously, within four days. p.

The donation at Rev. A. Z. Halls Tues

pleasant affair. Many substantial tokens
of appreciation and good will, were pre-

in his labors. The gathering was well at

The Democratic principles which the BOSTON
POST has steadily advocated for fOrty-ti years,
through success and through defeat, have again
received the endorsement of vast majority of
tie United States. 1t remains to secure the fruits
of this grand popular victory by calmly opposing,
under the Constitution and the Laws, any at
tempt to rob the nation of its proper choice and
to carry on the great work Of reform and purinca-
ton in the Government.
There is a gratifying hope that the reunited
country has at last begun the work of reform, and
that under the chosen Democratic rule it will be
successfully carried on. To strengthen this en-.
deayor, the BOSTON POST, as the representa-.
tive of Democracy in New England, viii give its
earnest efforts, confident that the Constitutional
principles on which the Republic was founded
one hundred years ago are those which viii safe
ly carry the nation through the troubles that have
gathered about the opening of the second century
of its existence.
AS Commercial Paper the BOSTON
POST is uneNcelled in the Now England States.
As an Advertising Medium the BOSTON
POST can justly claim to have no superior in
New England among papers Of its class,
As a Family Paper the BOSTON POST will
be found to be an cVer-welcome guest, never de.
fcient in news always readable, racy and reli-
able.
