The announcement of lecture by
Rev. Joseph Cook will insure q crowd
ed house at Academy Hall next Thurs
day evening. The lecture on "Ulti-
mate America Wis one of his best eff
forts. There should, and doubtless
will be, large delegation from sur
rounding towns. We understand that
If this lecture proves as successful as IL
ought, the management will probably
procure for us q series of fIst-class lee
tnres.
"Wednesday afternoon there was a
slight disturbance at the Park House,
kept by John Ring. Two women were
heard calling for the police, and little
inquiry revealed the fact that the pro-
prietor had assaulted them, Kicking
one and throwing the other down
stairs. The reputation of the house
has been getting bad under the present
management, and Yesterday the village
trustees ordered it closed, the proprie-
tor having no license to keep hotel.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Ring paid a
fine for liquor selling, in a case in which
he was convicted last summer and APP
pealed. His bondsmen surrendered
him, and rather than go 10 Jail he
''came down" with the lucre.
