HaVerhill, N. 81.

Rum and democracy in this town has
received its death blow within the last
eight days. Two years ago the Demo-
Gratis Outnumbered the Republicans by
more than eighty voters, and for ten
years past have had everything their
own way. On last Tuesday, the IIth
inst, at annual March meeting, it was
found when the first BALLOT was taken
for moderator that about 80 votes were
thrown by the Greenbackers who held
the balance of power, and that no one
party could elect its mar without the
help of the other, consequently two
days were spent in electing town clerk
and the third day in making choice of
fist selectman and the fourth day in
getting the second. Saturday and the
whole of Monday was taken up in an
exciting contest between Ezra Mann,
the rum candidate, and E. G.. Parker,
Rep, and A. HI. Leighton, Greenbacker
The latter candidate Saturday night
lacked only one vote of having ma
jority over all other candidates, vet on
Monday the contest narrowed down so
that the great struggle was between
Mann and Parker, when about the 5Otb
ballot Democracy and rum was defeat
ed by the combined forces of Republi
cans and Greenbackers-so for the first
time in twelve years Haverhill has a
fall board of praying, temperance men,
and to make things doubly sure the
town passed a vote instructing the Sc
lectmen to grant no license to any party
to sell liquors within the town, and that
all parties now holding a license the
same should be revoked forthwith.
The above reform was brought about in
a great measure through the leadership
of Hon. Samuel B. Page of Woodsville.
who although Greenbacker. has
brought his influence to bear on the 700
voters of this town so that no less than
IL grog shops will be closed at once.
Among all the town officers chosen Inv
ballot, only one was out of the Demo-
cratic party.

The diphtheria did not abate so
speedily as your correspondent hoped,
in his letter of three weeks ago, there
having been several cases since. The
last case of which we now have knowl-
edge, was the daughter of James Esden,
who died the 18th. Mr.. Esden lives in
the east part of the town, but Mrs. E.
had been down TO the Hollow to care
for Franklin Varnum's family-two of
whom died-and she had the disease,
and afterwards her daughter, showing
1t clearly to be a case of infection from
the infected district. Although this
disease has been confined almost wholly
to one locality, it has been quite severe
there, and nearly fifty per cent, of the
cases have proved fatal. 1t is not
strange that the feeling is growing that
the treatment was not what it should
have been. A disease that kills half it
attacks is little short of plague.
Your correspondent speaks thus plain
ly about this matter now, because he
feels sure the disease is abating, and
therefore there will be no danger of
needless alarm-and also because he
understands he has been taken to task
for exaggerated statements, ETC., by
people here who would rather have the
facts covered up. There have been
sixteen deaths in town between the 18th
of january and 18th of March, though
not all by diphtheria. The population
is 1900.
A quantity of first-class stove wood
has been delivered at the Hollow for
$3.50 per run.

Religious Meetings.

Mr.. Hollis Jordan, evangelist, began
series of religious meetings at the
Free Baptist church Oh Sabbath after
noon, and they are to be continued ev-
cry day for two weeks, except Satur-
day. The Sabbath services were large
ly attended, and the evening meetings
are pretty full. The weekday after
noon audiences have been thus far
largely of women and young people,
and these audiences are increasing. Mr..
Jordan is young man, simple in his
manners and speech, very earnest and
devOut, and in his bible readings and
sermons conveys the impression of one
earnestly desiring to do good and honor
his Master. The public are very cor
daily invited to attend the services.

On Saturday evening last, Andrew

in few feet of the stove, the top be-
came detached from the stand and fall
ing on the corner of the stove broke,
spilling the oil over several feet of sur
face and enveloping stove and floor in
flames. Mr.. Aitkin, with presence of
mind, managed to smother it with
out calling help, but thinks he was .'as
near being smOthered as the fire. For
the past 3 years this village has been
remarkably free from fires, only one
having occurred to need the use of the
engine in that time.

are considered where they live.

Poor Place for an Explosive

Preparatory to the moving of the
barn which stands in the rear of the
brick block on Main street, there was
found in it a sack containing ten or tif-
teen pounds of dynamite. This power
full explosive was used by King, Fuller
& Co., railroad contractors, in some of
the hard lodges west of this place, and
it has doubtless been in this barn for
the past five or six years. The sample
found was evidently injured by damp
ness, but there was enough of it, if in
perfect order, to blow up this whole
neighborhood.
