A Veterans Birthday.

RICHMOND, Aug. 10, 1879.
Will you allow me space in your most worthy
and ever welcome paper to speak Of an occa-
sion deserving more than passing notice? On
the Sth inst. there were gathered at the fine
farm residence of Jos. Hall, Esq, East Bow
doinham, large company to commemorate
the S2d birthday of the aged gentleman. There
were ten children, seven sons and three daugh-
ters with their wives and husbands, making
twenty of the immediate family, beside
grandchildren, the number in all amounting to
81. Mr.. Hall, Sem, was soldier in the war OF
1872; has through life been man of marked
integrity and sterling worth, and is now capa-
BILE of business, with faculties unimpaired. 1t
was an occasion of much interest, well worthy
of note. After partaking of a sumptuous
dinner the family all gathered by the "old
hearth-stone," while appropriate touching re-
marks were made by the pastor, Rev. Mr.
Gould. Then ''Father Hall'' spoke in voice
tender and low-not from age, but from emo
ton of his gratitude for long life, present
blessings, that his family were all temperate,
and last but not least, all Republicans.

De La Martyrs Impertinence Rebuked.
MIR. EDIToR:-I have always labored under
the apprehension that it was one of the priv
leges of an American citizen to enter and leave
public political meeting without being sub
jected to marked insult and ridicule from the
platform, but was disabused of this belief last
evening in the Greenback meeting by the
action of the Rer. De La Matyr and his
friends.
Having little time to spare last evening,
went into the aforesaid meeting with friend
and remained until half-past eight O'Clock,
when we arose to leave. Immediately the
reverend gentleman stopped in his speech and
turned his guns upon us, followed by tremen-
dous applause from his satellites.
This style of bull-dozing failed to inti'nidate
us, for we made our way into the open air, re-
solved in the future to be found in that party
which was capable of exercising reasonable
amount of courtesy through its representatives
1t may be well to say that my friend voted
the Grcenback ticket last year, but Will vote
with some other party at the coming election.

The Back Bav Nuisance.

165 privy vaults cleaned since the first OF June,
and Of this number Is since August list. An
order was issued yesterday morning to stop the
granting of all permits for this purpose until

see how much of the present trouble is attribu-
table to the poisoning the air by emptying
privy vaults and placing the contents on lands
adjacent to the city.
We are authorized to say that DR.. Ring, city
physician, with DR.. Gerrish as assistant, have
been employed to investigate the causes OF this
nuisance, and the public are requested to fur
nish them any facts they may possess in regard
to the matter. 1t is considered unwise to spend
any more money until the cause is ascertained.

speeches in the outlying districts of the town,

enthusiastic audiences. At the meeting last
evening at the Simpson schoolhouse, the Green
hackers from the neighboring towns OF Durham
and Lisbon were out in force. Mr.. Bradsfeet
made a clear and forcible argument ON the
money question, completely demolishing every
argument and fairly answering every question
brought up by two hard-headed Greenba ckers
who interrupted him frequently. These two
gentlemen, who are considered the big gums OIL
the soft-money party in that region, were
driven, much to the delight of the audience.
