Our town fathers are repairing the
highways.
We hear nothing about the dry sum-
mer since June came in, guess it has
gone west.
Closing the eyes makes the sense of
hearing more acute. This probably
accounts for the many eyes that are
closed in church each Sunday.
Emusic has its charms" so we have
secured one of the celebrated Estey or
gans, and are charmed with its clear
ness of tone and the general appear
ance of the instrument.
The Superintendents and Text Book
Committees from the several towns in
the County of Essex, are to hold con-
vention at the Court House, Tuesday,
June "a, for the transaction of business
under the law in relation to text books
in common schools.
Fishing parties are the order of the
day in this vicinity at present. The
Judge of Probate and Register are on
an excursion this week. We expect to
see not only some nice looking fish,
but large number of them on their
return. LEO.

Now the potato bug flourishes and

The sabbath school of this place has

Addresses will be made, and we hope
our people will contribute to make the
occasion one of interest.
The State Board of Education and
Agriculture met at this place on Fri
day, the 18th. They were represented
by Col. Mead on the part of Agricul-
ture, and Prof. Conant on part of Ed

thoroughly understand their business
The people were very much pleased
and instructed by their able and elo
