II Is rumored that we are to have new
town clock, that Hon. Frederick Billings
Is to be the donor, and that 1t Is to be
placed on the Brick Church, where the
old clock was, and the face Is. Some
twenty years have passed away since the
old clock beat out Its last hour IN town,
and, we believe, was sold to the Bethelo-
mans, where 1t still continues to do good
service. This Is just like Mr.. Billings
generosity. few years ago he fixed up
the church in elegant shape, at much eX-
pense, and now he desires to 60 farther
and put clock on it, This is commend
able But If the clock Is to be q village
clock, is it not placing 1t n little too far
from the center? This was the fault with
the old clock--or one Of them at least
and another was that nobody took care
of it. 1t being on church it was not
handy to take care CT consequently no.
body was to blame The place for vii
lage clock, one that will strike the hours
as it is said this one will, is on Fairba nks'
block or somewhere near there. The
Court House would not be bad location.
We.hope this matter will be considered
by Mr.. Billings.

new paper started at st. Johnsbury by A.
B. Howe. 1t is folio sheet, with eight
columns to the page. 1t looks well and
reads well.
Some people have so little anxiety
about truth, that they never tax their
memory with the exact thing, hence they
sometimes make trouble in relating things.
People should be careful about this mat
ter.
