Massachusetts family Of Channings, and now
a resident Of London, England, will deliver
an address at the town hall, commencing at

enjoyment, for, TO us, Ocean Bluff is the most
attractive and delightful spot on the New

friends are, under Mrs. Eldridges efficient and
hOspitable management, they will be sure to
find every reasonable want most generously

room No. . Crosby block, lately occupied as
a store by Mrs Avery, which has been rent
ed for the reading room of the Garfield and
Arthur club, will be vacated by its present
occupant on Saturday, Cto-morrow) and that
early next week it will be fitted up and put in
readiness for use by the Republicans as their
headquarters. 1t is to be regretted that so
much delay has occurred, but it could not
well be helped. The room, in size, location
and all other respects, is admirably adapted
to the wants of the club, and we hope every
Republican in town will make it his political
home during the campaign. And all, wheth-
err Republicans or not, who are seeking polit-
ical light and desirable political companion
ship, will receive cordial welcome
Gen. Stewart L. Woodford on Thursday
