Is 1t not to be regretted that the
Associated Press should have seen
fit to send forth reports of some new
utterances of Ex-President JEFF Day-
is, of the southern confederacv +?
Who cares what JEFF Davis opinions
are about secession. He may enter
tain his own views and give utter
ance to them, and no harm will arise,
but he should be let alone in his en-
Joyment of such privileges. The
right of State to lead in secession
was enunciated years ago and the
lie given to it at the bayonet's point
and eannon's mouth. This degrad-
ed head of a traitorous movement
should be permitted to remain nm.
molested in the obscurity and dis.
grace to which he was retired by ma
tional clemency instead of to the
hangman's rope. He is a political
outcast and traitor and a fit expo
nent of rebels. Let him vent as he
will, but let his utterance find mar.
ket among his own kith and kin.
Let them not be inflicted upon the
legal press and loyal sentiment of
the country.
MoNTREAL.-The imminent peril
of bloodshed that seemed to hang
over the city of Montreal, had a

take it that the Mayor is Catholic

that this is a better solution of the
affair than bloody fight and loss Of

In the column OF deaths this week are the
names of four persons who died in this town
OF pneumonia fever. large number are sick
in this village of malarial fevers and several
deaths have occurred-mostly upon the other side
Of the river. want Of proper drainage is the
most prolific cause of the sickness In the village
An attempt was made to have sewer construct d
upon Summer street a year ago, but it failed
through the opposition of a few individuals, and
now they see the result in malaral fevers which
extend their baleful influence throughout the vii
lage. The Stops and the waste-water from tie
houses upon several streets have no drainage
whatever, except as 1t sinks into the ground Ia
contamnate the drinkirg-water, or stands in
filthy pools In their yards and near their houses
smelling so rank that it contaminates the air for
half mile around. Our village fathers should
look around the village and compel some OF the
citizens to renovate their Stops yards, pg-pens
and privies, which are a public nuisance Mr.

WArrsFIELD.- monotony of our village was
suddenly broken on Saturday evening of last
week, by the ringing of fire alarm, caused by
the discovery of fire in f. A. Dumas saw-mill,
which was promptly extinguished before much
damage was done. 1t was lucky termination
of what might have been serious loss, not only
to Mr. Dumas but to the whole town, as the grist-
mill joins the saw-mill and several other build
ings are in close proximity. AT meeting OF
Waitsfied Lodge OF Good Templars last Friday
evening, the play entitled "The Demons in the
Glass" was admirably acted by f. O., Trask and
wife, Parker Cady, Charlie Hastings, Dorm stod
dard, James Mclaughlin, Lucy Hastings and
May McAllister. The hall was well filled at the
opening of the meeting, but was rendered more
full by the initiation of A. f. Cotton, f. H. Jones,
F, A. Sawyer, j. w. Boyce, Sherman Cady,
Daniel Mclaughlin, Lucy Boyce and Hattie
Bragg, all of whom, together with Gertie Lewis
who Joined few weeks ago, are from the younger
portion of our community. This speaks well for
the young people, showing their interest In the
temperance work, and should be an example to
some older ones to go and do likewise. E. Waits
field grange which has been sickly all summer,
last Saturday evening showed remarkable signs
OF convalescence, and will undoubtedly entirely
recover, and If the members who were not there
by some who ioere and gently reminded OF their
delinquencies, 1t is to be hoped they will not be
angry or frightened.

HAScocK.-The Hancock base ball club played
match game with the Rochester club, at Roches-
ter, the fifth instant with not very satisfactory
result to either party, we judge. The Rochester
club were not satisfied, because they were likely
to get beat and the Hancock club were not salts
fed because the former refused to play the game
out 1t appears that the Rochester club had
played all their innings, and had made forty.
eight scores, while the Hancock club had made
forty five scores, and had only one man out ON
their last inning, when the former refused to
play 1t out, alleging, as a reason, that 1t was too
dark, in which opinion the Hancock boys did not
agree-hence the dissatisfaction. They will play
a match game here next Saturday for the supper,
and we hope with better results The potato
crop is very poor. Rev, Mr.. Thompson, Uni
