figures, that Ryegate is the banner town
in the county for health. The popula-
ton in 1870 was 935, and in all proba-
bility is not any less at the present
time. In 1873 there were births 10.

this year, second ballots being neces-
sary in several cases. The boundaries
of school districts were changed some
what. The lots in the cemetery were
made free to all residents of the town.
Less than one-half the voters were

grumble if the town officers do not suit
them, or if taxes are unnecessarily high.

Mr.. Fairbanks Lecture.

The ''Mysteries of the Dark Cont

T. Fairbanks lecture at the town hall
Thursday evening. 1t was extempole
and conversational in style, and eX-
ceedingly interesting and instructive.
He began by alluding to the mysteries
of Atrica-its men, animals, civiliza-
zion, its pyramids, sphinx, and that
strangest of all rivers, the Nile. He
then reviewed briefly the explorations
of Baker, Spoke, and Livingston, and
dwelt at length upon the expeditions
and explorations of Henry NJ. Stanley
following him through all his perils by
land, lake and river. Mr.. Fairbanks is
enthusiastic on this subject, and there
fore just the one to inspire an audience.

Time. 1t was voted to have the report
ofthe superintendent of schools printed

schools $50 for last years services also
