The Northfed Meas gives it's patrons
a very readable and interesting account
of the Temperance Camp Meeting re-
Gently held in Mortified. Essex Coun-
ty was well represented there by Mrs.
S. M. Perkins of West Concord and
Hon Geo. N. Dale of this place. OF the
latter gentleman the Neacs says: 'I1is
remarks were well received, and he
was frequently greeted with applause
A man of commanding presence and
fine voice he is ever in demand for
meetings of this character and always
speaks to the entire satisfaction of his

FIRES Last Saturday morning
the house and out buildings, belonging
to e. G. Robinson ESQ, and occupied
by J. M. Doyle were utterly destroyed
by fire. The cause of the fire is at pre-
sent, unknown. Loss 81, 800 partially
insured. On Sunday evening the
building occupied by L. S. Strong,
harness maker, and d. G. Stevens and
Co. painters, was discovered to be on
fire. The alarm was promptly given,
and ready and willing hands, soon sue
ceeded in extingllishing the flames
The loss will not be great, the goods
being damaged to some extent by
water. The fire is supposed to have
by spontaneous combus-
ton amongst some waste and oil.
With this issue we finish a series of
articles upon the History of Essex Co,
by DR.. Hiram A. Cutting. He asks of
all that have noticed any inaccuracies
or misstatements that they will correct
the same, as it is to appear in Pictor-
ial History of New England, where
perfect accuracy is desired. To such |
as will send him any correction, he
will refund their postage, and send
them free, a copy of "Pests of the
Farm" a pamphlet describing farm
pests and how to exterminate them. |
We shall continue from time to time to |
publish articles upon Natural history
from his pen; said articles being very
popular, be being apaid correspondent
for several of our best agricultural
papers, We hope thus to merit the
favor of all who desire aid in that direc-
ton, and also trust thus to please the
more intelligent, at least, of our
We are also glad to learn
that our efforts to improve our paper
are meeting with success, and every
new subscriber prompts us to renew
our efforts to please.
