Superintendent of Public Instruction OF
the State, ON Tuesday evening, Dec. 9th,
at the Opera House, was very well at
tended. A larger audience was in atten-
dance than those lecturers usually attract.
His subject, the Characteristics Of Gent

ing, that every one went away well
pleased. The lecture was for the bene-
dit of the High School Library, and was
managed by the pupils of that school.
He was q success in every way. The
net proceeds for the library was $43.5O.
This money will not long lie idle. The
Literary Society of the school have al
ready appointed committee for the
purchase of books. By the beginning OF
next term this money will be in book
shape. We hope that the community
will give these pupils, so willing to help
themselves, q helping hand. Christmas
presents in the shape of money or books
will be very acceptable no doubt to the
library.

GRAND MEADOW.

Our harvester men are all busy SET
ting up machines and the sales appear to
be fully up to the average of other years.
Joe Chamberlain, s. P. Learned and
Alvah Hunt, have commenced placing
material on the ground for dwelling
houses.
"A good investment for some man
would be to build half dozen tenement
houses, rs there isn't near enough to sup
ply the demand.
The material found in our village
we'll, is no doubt woody formation. II
burns with dull flame and leaves be-
hind light gray ashes. We think it can
hardly be c!assed with any Of the coal
species.

holding court, and speaking Of his being
m independent candidate for reelection,
said he felt confident that he would carry

base ballists say, "How is that?"
We hope our village committee will
call our next caucus at 8 o'clock p. NJ, 80
rs to give every man a chance to attend.
And we also hope that the practice of
voting by ballot, commenced last spring,
will be adhered to, so as TO avoid the
confusion which always attends our eau
cusses when voting by acclamation.
Since our last we have travelled
around the country some, and have
given some attention to the gram pros
poets, and find wheat, with few excep-
tions, doing we'll, but the average will
not be as large as we anticipated month
ago. Oats, barley and corn are good, and
the barley harvest has already CON-
menced.
While at Spring Valley last week we
heard rumors that Stowe, of the Wykoff
Weekly, was going to succeed Mel Jones
