The last heard of Mr.. Ranney, he was
making good speed towards California.
Doubtless those who sold him eggs and

There seems to be great deal of
emusic" in that pleasant locality. known
as Coventry Falls, just at present; and
for some reason there is not the harmony
for which the place is noted. We have
been very earnestly solicited by parties
on each side of the controversy to give
space to articles that will not reflect
credit on the town, and which will only
tend to widen breach that ought to be
healed. We esteem it privilege, un-
der ordinary circumstances, to accom-
modate our friends, and will take great
pains to insert everything that shall say
a good word for deserving individuals
and worthy objects; but neither for love
or money can we use the MONITOR, to
kindle, or fan into blaze any personal.
ghborhood, or sectarian quarrels. Any
publicity that can be given to these
things in local paper will not right
wrongs, or heal wounds; but, on the
contrary, may be the means of keeping
alive a strife that will die for the want
of fuel, if let alone.
