Little York and Vicinity.

Divine service was held in the Pur- chase school house the 9th (Whitsunday), the Rev. Mir. Cooley of Roxbury of1iciat- ing. He spoke from the passage, "He taketh of me and sheweth unto them. " The discourse was a fine one, and one worthy of consideration by all who heard it. Speaking of meetings and not men, tioning those which are held in POota- took every Sunday evening, would be negligence on my part. The people seem to take an interest in them, and the place which once was o'er5hadowed by the gloom, silence and solitude of days gone by, no longer remains the same, and quot hominese, tot SC ti,hiae seems to meet with very little favor, for the people are all, apparently, of the same mind.
 Geo. N. Platt, who was bitten by his dog few weeks ago, is attending to his business as usual again.
 B. N Treat is having q new roof and other carpenter work done on his barn. That's right, Be-thu-el
 Constable Wheeler was in this vicinity a few days ago looking after the delin- quents in the dog matter. understand he made call at the house of one of our chief men, but failed to get satisfactory evidence of his having had a dog since the law came into effect. But at the very witching hour when tEe graveyards yawn, if the people are awakened by the bowling of one of the canine race, he sound which seems to come from barn, it is high time for the officers of the peace to make investigations. It has been said that there are papers out for several more persons, but if this is so, or whether they have been served or not your correspondent is unable to say. It is well known there are several who have not complied with the requirements of the law. They are persons who ought to be familiar with the law, and if they know and do rot deny it. they should be brought to speedy justice. Will give full account of the matter next week.

Correspondence,
Sandy Hook.

Impromptu gathering often brings more pleasure than long anticipated parties, and such was the case on Mon- day evening of last week, when few
 friends and relatives met at the house of MT. w. w. Perkins, to congratulate him and his bride of twenty-five years; and not only them, but also Mr. and Mrs, R.
 B. Eddy, of Webster, Mass, friends of their youth, who were married on the same day, and accompanied them on their wedding journey. The beaming faces of the entire bridal party showed that time had dealt gently with them.- The evening sped quickly with happy converse, aided by vocal and instrument tai music. Though no invitations had been issued, and it was not a silver we'd ding bona .fde, nevertheless many hand some gifts displayed the good will of the donors. After a bountiful repast the following letters were read. At F o'clock the party adjourned until 25 years hence, when it-is hoped the heart will be as light if the eye is not as bright, as now, lfr. and. Mrs. ". ". Perkins
 ,r DEAR FRIENDs.--I fear I shall be necessarily detained from meeting with you and your friends at your silver wedding anniversary this evening, but I cannot forbear sending you a memento for the occasion, and this note express ing sentiments similar to those I should have offered in person were present.- "SiIver and gold I have none, but such as I have I give thee" q shall be par doned, I think, if interweavc some expressions from the "boOk of books appropriate to such an occaaion.) The wise man said, "A virtuous woman is as a crown to her husband" (Prov. xii, 6.) "If those seekest her as silver, and searche5t for her as hid treasure" (Prov. ii, Al Twenty-Five years ago you, my dear brother, sought for her and found her. and you wear the crown yet. No doubt the silver has become more choice and more precious as the years have gone by. We rejoice with you in this glad anniversary. We thank our Heavenly Father with you that He has permitted you to reach this silver mile stone in the journey of life, and hope you may be spared to the "golden age, and then, in Gods own time, pass into the city where streets are paved with gold, where one of your loved family awaits vour coming. There is then silver lining even to the cloud which came over your home and enveloped the form of your noble son; for heaven will be more attractive and home like and your. life will be more beautiful and its settings more glorious-"a as silver tried in a furnace of earth purified seven times" Thank God for the silver lining, if you cannot thank Him for the cloud and thank Him, too, for all that He has given you, for your children that He has spared-your hope and joy :" for your plea. ant home 50 tastefully furnished

 Y.MC.I. Its fate was short its very soul Was lost long ere it reached the goal Fell discord seized it's heart, and wruna Its noble life out by the tongue,-
 Y.M.C.I. Try not so fast" the wise man said Look out for trouble way ahead The rocky shore is always near," And sure as fate he was seer,-
 Y.M.C.I. "We will not fail. :" Tecumseh said "Don't call up trouble from it's bed" The warriors cry was lost in gloom, And wiser heads proclaimed its doom,--
 Y.M.C.I. Beware" " the wise men said don't soar; Just rest awhile upon your oar." A vote was taken on this cry And sent our hopes way up sky-high,-
 Y.M.C.I. There in the silence it lays dead, And of the corpse this much be said: The little "purp." so sharp and brave. Just parked itself into the grave

Wm. Cothrcn, Esq, of Woodbury, has been confined to his bed for several days but is on the gain. Ho took Il cold while away from home attending court.
 w. w. Bctts, of West Side, has moved his harness shop to Main street, and occupies the building belonging to and formerly used by Dr. R. N. Betts, Sr., as an office Mr. Betts has his advcr- tiscment in this issue stating the change.
 W. H. Rowell has fitted up a handsome jewclry store, and is receiving the pa tronago of the people of Woodbury in a manner that Is very encouraging.
 A Imaginable incident occurred last week Tuesday in the vicinity of the new bridge leading to West Side. A man with an 0x-team was about to cross the river, which a lady seeing, requested that she might accompany him, there being no other way to cross the river at that point, the bridge being in course of construction. The man saw that the woman was under the influence of some foreign substance, and hesitated in his response. The woman, fearing a refusal, jumped into the cart, and went into the midst of the stream. The driver sat on the tongue of tho cart, and when he reached the middle of the river, drew out the pin, and the cart body tipped up and the woman went splashing into the water A shout greeted this performance, and the woman, gathering up her garments under her arms waded with true Lord Dundreary style for the shore, which on reaching she uncorked her wrath, and fairly scorched the trees of the beautiful valley of Woodbury with hor oaths It has given our otherwise quiet town something to laugh over if not to talk about.

Invalids' and Tourists Hotel, of that
city, has recently been elected to
Congress by the very fattering ma

Chronic Diseases will not, we are in

take his seat in Congress, it being in
