The people of this village were treat
ed to free horse show last Friday,
consisting of two Norman stations, two
mares and three months old colt, Just
imported from France, and on the way
to Canada. One of them was taken sick

seen in this section.

A Boot-Jack Argument.


As Mrs. George Henry Stowe was
passing down through H. L. Cass's yard,
between Caledonia and River street, on
Wednesday afternoon, on her way to
the village, Mrs. Cass came out and told
her that she must not pass over their
grounds any more. Mrs. Stowe replied
that this was the way they had always
gone, ETC., and that she should contin-
ue to travel that way. 1--WE understand
this way makes a short cut to town,
and has been generally used, though
there is no public road there.) On her
return, Mrs. Stowe undertook to cross
the Cass premises as before, when she
was met by Mrs. Cass, who had in her
hand an iron boot-jack. What then oc-
Cured, the law will endeavor to ascer-
tain tomorrow morning. Before Mrs.
Stowe reached home however, she had
severe cash in the head and another
on the shoulder. As the trial has not
yet been had, we refrain from COM
ments this week.

West Concord.

West Concord
The CdledOnian had a rather rough
notice of the accident which befel one
Of our citizens two or three weeks ago,
so will send you brief statement of
the good that now seems to be coming
out of it. The injured individual is
doing well, is already on his feet some
small part of the time, his head is clear,
and his purposes right and he pledges
himself never to extinguish or sell any
more firewater. So for his sake and
our own, temperance meeting was
called the next Sunday evening after
the accident. A large number attend
ed, addresses were made by Revs. Per-
kins and Kelley, and Prof Chase of
Iowa. Several signed the temperance
pledge, and also a petition that the liq-
uor agency in West Concord be closed
up.
Another meeting was called for the
next Friday evening, Aug. Is, which
was addressed by the two village par
sons, the venerable Asa Hibbard, John
ii. Walblidge and Willard Chase. A
committee was appointed to draft a
form of organization for those to agree
to who wish for the entire suppression
OF the traffic in this community, and
the meeting adjourned to last Monday
evening to hear their report. This meet
ing, like the previous ones, was largely
attended,; the report of the committee
was presented and accepted; forty-two
names were subscribed to the form of
organization recommended, and the re-
CURED officers chosen to execute the
will of the society. The president elect
ed is Willard Chase; vice president,
Mrs. j. B. Hill, secretary and treasurer,
Charles Stowell.
THE ORGANIZATION.
l. This society shall be known as the
West Concord Temperance Alliance.
2. Its object shall be the promotion
of temperance, and the suppression of
the illegal sale of Intoxicating liquors.
3. Its officers shall be a president,
vice president, and secretary, who
also shall serve as treasurer.
A. In addition to the services usual
ly required of such officers, it shall be
the duty of these officers to ascertain if !
the law is violated, and if so, to call
meeting of the society to decide what
steps shall be taken respecting such vi
olations.
The other articles provide for raising
funds by the assessment of members,
terms of membership, amending the
etc.
The agency is already discontinued
here, and no liquor is sold in the vii
lage or vicinity. The era of good feel
ing has dawned, and it is the business
of the 'Alliance" to see to it that like
Hthe path of the just" cit shineth more
and more unto the perfect day." If now
carefully watched, it will be easy to
keep the "vile critter" away.

One New Top Bugge, very fine and warrante,
durable, by the St Johnsbury Granite Co. En-
quire of R. W. LAIRD at their Office 41tf
Daily Republican., 1878-12-21

IT MAKES But LITTLE difference wlo
the Repu blican candidate for President
in 1850 will be, he will be elected any
how, but the drift of public sentiment
seems to be decidedly in the direction
of General Grant. Reports from Wash
ington inform US that Senators Blaiu-
and Conkling both recognizing that
fact have allowed it to br announced
that they will not he candidates in tn
opposition to General Grant. This will
give him Glen walk over in the solid
n0cth. and the south can honor who-v-
er it pleases with its bulldozed vote.
There was a time when some other
candidate than Grant would have been
desirable by the Republicans, but the
arrogance, cruelty and dishonesty Of
the Southern Democratic leaders hav-
ing brought the country almost to thu
verge of another rebellion, General
Grant is instinctiyely named as the
man to check it, he having had some
experience in choking out rrbrllions.
Grant will be the next President from
all Appearances now, and if the South
ern Bourbons do not like it, they hav,
themselves alone to blame for it.
