WARREN.-Our town meeting came of at the

Tested, especially by that class who are ever
ready to take office even the most humble. The
report Of the seectmen was not readily adopted
on account of its unbusiness-like character, show
ing great carelessness or ignorance in keeping the
town books The auditors report looked more
favorable for the town than for several years
past, as they have dared to approximate the in
debtedness of the town, but few are so vain as
to think it correct. The selectmen's books have
for long time been so badly kept that the finan-
cial condition Of the town is matter past finding
out. Orders have been given by the selectmen,
overseer of the poor and justices Of the peace and
no correct minute kept, so that no one knows the
amount of the outstanding debts The collector
is about two thousand dollars behind on his tax
bills, and with the hard times and an additional
tax of fifty per cent voted for expenses the ensu
ing year. sees but little prospect of collecting the
same without distressing very many of our poor.
We hope for a better report next year

PLAINFIELD.-A musical convention was held
in this place at the close OF the singing-schools,
commencing on Wednesday of last week and clos
Ing Thursday evening, with a concert, under the
direction of Mr.. Charles Dudley, OF East Mont
pelier. The attendance was fair considering the
unlavorabe weather and the bad condition of the
roads, but what was wanting in numbers was
made up in the interest and ability of those pres
ent; thus the convention was decided success.
The singing was generally good and the performers
were so well drilled that we almost fear to specify,
feeling that we may do injustice to some; yet the
marked ability of a few and the splendid manner
in which they executed their paris, prompt us 10
mention them. The exercises consisted in the
singing OF anthems, songs chorus, duets, etc.
song by Mrs. f. V. Spencer, of Marshfed ell
titled " Chalet Horn" was beautifully sung and
elected hearty applause also a duet by Mrs.
Spencer and Mrs. George Putnam, entitled Trust
her not" and a song by Mrs. Putnam, "What
would Papa say" Noticeable among the voices
was Mrs. Charles Hamlin Of East Montpelier,
soprano soloist; Mrs. S Smith and Mrs c. Bartlett
alto, and Mrs T. g. Glidden of Painfeld, tenor;
also Mr. Stoddard of Calais and Mr.. James
Young of East Montpelier, bass song was sung
by Mr. William Batchelder, 1.-The grand old
Ocean was well executed. Mr. Morris Eddy Of
Marshfeld, was present acting as organist, and
sung duet with Miss Newcomb of Waitsfield.
Mr. Dudley as director gave entire satisfaction,
and although this was his first attempt at leading
convention Of this kind. yet he proved him
self perfectly competent, his drill being critical,
thorough and efficient.

Temperance Meetings.

Our friends, the Good Templars and Tenn
pie of Honor, have inaugurated series of
Temperance meetings in this city, for the
purpose of awakening an interest on thi s
subject, and propose for the present to hold
public meeting each Sunday evening in on
of our churches, at which interesting speak
ers will be present. D. Allen ESQ, OF
Rochester, N z, addressed our citizens on
last Saturday and Monday evenings in the
M. E. church in very earnest and effective
manner, showing the effects of alcohol upon
its victim, and the enormous waste of prop
erty and life to the Nation. On Sunday
evening, at the Congregational church, H.
II. Giles, of Madison. gave a very forciblc
and logical lecture on the same subject
These lectures have been listened to with
marked attention by those present, and
next Sunday evening, those who will be
fortunate enough to secure seats, will be both
entertained and instructed in the progress
of temperance principles throughout the
State and Nation.

German Syrup

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such test of its curative qualities as
Boschees German Syrup. In three years
two million four hundred thousand small
bottles of this medicine were distributed
free OF charge by Druggists in this country
to those afflicted with Consum ption, Asth
ma, Group, Severe Coughs, Pneumonia and
other diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
giving the American people undeniable
proof that German Syrup will cure them.
The result has been that Drugg sis in every
town and village in the United States are
recommending it to their customers. Go to
your Druggist, G. & H. T. Eberle, j. H
Schultz or K. Schubert and ask what they
know about it. Sample bottles 10 .ents
Regular size IS cents. Three doses viii re.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
lions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their ape-ient action they grippe rauch less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inaamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills ma
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
