- Congressman Horr, of this district is
helping the Republicans in Massachu-
sets. His first appointment in that
4statewas for last night. Mr.. HOrr's eff
forts in Ohio were very highly compli-
mented by the Republican press of that
State, and we haveno doubt his services
in Massachusetts, will be Of benefit to
the party. Is t sf7;. 'o'
j. c. Holmes, formerly connected with
tAeEAlegan Journal, was in the village

. There will be meeting at the Office OF
J. P. Sutton, next Tuesday evening, TO
consider, the prOpriety of making an eff
fort to secure the locating of the Con-

sWeunderstand the, dredge is to be set
at work ON the harbOr next week, and
that the first work to be done will be to
complete the cut in the east bank which
was not completed last season. We think
this is mistake. The most important
work for the benefit of navigation is an
additional depth, or rather levling off
of the cut already made. The captains
of the N. Z. Steamers all complain of
striking the bottom when coming in
bound down. Lastseasen the water was
