RTPTON.

C. Billings slaughtered II pair OF
oxen last week, whose hides weighed
two hundred and thirty-four pounds.
The tanners inform that they have not
handled heavier ones.
Considering the campaign stories
that have filed the air for the past few
weeks, our town meeting passed of
very pleasantly, far more so than sever
al previous years. This condition OF
things were doubtless owing to our
prompt genial presiding officer, j. Bat
tell, ably assisted by constable ". b.
Ripley.
"A few mornings ago "a gentleman in
our town was waited upon by young
man, who confessed to stealing a piece
of property from him, and of which he
had not been appraised until then; re-
turning the same, and Offering q sum of
money! nearly sufficient to purchase such
property, asa reparation for the loss of
names fearing that the public may not
agree with us in thinking that his con-
version is genuine.
We notice that G. Billings has stock
ed his mill with quite respectable sup
ply of logs to be cut the coming season.
G. A. Baker has also supplied himself
literally. As our mills are now situa-
ted, 1t is quite job to stock up q first
class mill for supplies have to be hauled
two, three up to five miles, and still the
work of denudation goes on so rapidly,
that few years at most will find us
importers rather than exporters of lum-
Der, unless perhaps on hard wood, for
which there is now little or no market
at paving rates.
