interest.
Sunday evening we attended meeting at
the Christian church in Calais. Gospel
workers from St. Adams were present,
and they were earnest in their work and
impressive in their appeals. There was one
iady who held out the gospel of our Savior
in its purity, recommending an entire sep
aration from all sinful practices and Civ

hat Mr.. Foster, the great sugar man of

made one hundred pounds of sugar. AT
that date f. w. Bisbee had made three
hundred pounds with but one evaporator,
and report says that GO. Boyce of Fays.
ton has made nearly one thousand pounds
without any eyaporator. The people of
Watsfield feel so safe since Scaver has
gone to prison that they voted at their
annual meeting not to get their school
houses insured. There seems to be a
mania prevailing in Watsfield and vicini-
ty who shall build the largest barn. Prob
tbly it will be L. r, Joslyn, for he has
got the most money. The cattle trade
seems to be lively in Mad River Valley
working oxen are in demand, and buyers
IRE plenty for all kinds of stock The
boys are wide awake in matching uE
calves preparatory for big prices in the
fall. Good hay is worth eight dollars pei
ton, and plenty ut that. G.. II. Crandall
