Potatoes are selling at one dollar per

arc we happy, our cellar is the repository

VIM A Lynn, who during the past sew
eral weeks, has undertaken the manufac-
ture of earthen ware, without the aid of
Anthony Bacher, brought over to this ct
flee o specimen milk pot, Of his first Kiln.
The workmanship is all that can be lesir
ed and in our judgment the reputation of
Lynn's Pottery, will in no wise suffer by
the change of bosses.
VINO CAN BEAT IT.-Mr. Jno. w. Shaw

The ladies of our town and vicinity pro.
rose taking charge of, and experimenting
n fair, for the purpose OF raising sufficient
funds, to purchase u suit for the band.
This departure from the ordinary way OF
doing the thing, will, we are convinced,
be Il successful one, and Judging from the
way in which the matter has been taken
hold of, and Of the parties in whose charge
it will be placed, we do not hesitate to say
that, will we expect something unusually
goJd.

We have, for about week, been terribly
oppressed with sense of the mighty re
sponsibilty that rests upon our editorial
shoulders We have cur own vertlnncy to
hold accountable fol- the unforeseen rctrihu
ton following fast OH tie heels Of eur pre-.
sumption. We had no just cone ption Of
the burden of responsibility that would at
tach itself to our every nticrancc or SnS
geston or our natural modcsty and lack OF
sclfapprcciation would have forbidden the
task. Yet, here we are; in for it, having
made but two suggestions, and have with
them alone fired the town with cXcitemer'
We refer to our suggestions regarding the
reading room and the Rorzcr's Branch
Bridge. That :hnsc propositions would lie
nc! with such an ayalanch, y! c"nsidera
ton was a possibility far beyond oar wiz =
est conception, and now having witnessed
the ag0nzing tarocs, to which society las
been subjected, through an innocent errol
on our part; we will cease meddling with
subjects of such pondcrous import but VIII
begin with those of lighter substance and
by slight gradations, cndcayor TO lead up
to greater matters. We therefore suggest
the organization cf a Society, having in
view the promotion of the h. ghly intel!ec
tual paslimc of butting bull of bridge
In case of IL failure to excite any interest
IN this matter, we dlscaim all responsible

process is l tentative one, and although,wc
may use oar be t Judgment in the matter
of suggesting something, that We Ill n,
would satisfy tic desires and saliate the
ambition of the community, yet, it is just
possible, that we have missed it again.
