There will be unusual interest manifest
ed in the spring election this year, owing
to the fact that nearly all OF our municipa

Green 80. ], Weisner so, thus aggregating
oysr twelve hundred hhds., and when we
consider that the farmers will receive their
ducats for the same on April l., the beneht
derived therefrom will be incalculable.

ness in our town and surrounding country,
