New potatoes are plenty.
See special announcem ent at the
head of this column.
The band boys RECALLED our citizens
with some excellent music last week.
Give us some more.
1t is announced that Senator Conk-
ling will open the campaign in Yer
mont in the course of a fortnight.
We are pleased to learn that Mrs. A.
H. Hall, who met with serious acct
dent some two weeks since, is rapidly
recovering.
Fishing parties are very popular
nowadays. All report good times,
and bring home their baskets laden
with the speckled beauties.
Z. G.. Robinson, ESQ, wife and

route for Wisconsin, to be absent one
month. We wish them pleasant jour
ney.

All those in favor Of forming a Gar
field and Arthur Club are requested to
meet at Clarke's new hall Thursday
evening at O'Clock sharp. Now let
there be a good attendance.
The temperance lecture that was to
have been delivered in the Methodist
church has been postponed one week,
owing to the unavoidable absence of
the lecturer, Rev. L. II. Tabor.
Our report of the accident on the Mt.
Washington carriage road last week
was little premature. Lindsey, the
driver, is not dead, and the probAbil-
tiles are that he will ultimately recover
from the injuries he sustained.
"Let him that stole, steal no more,
but rather let him labor with his
hands," is a piece of advice we gratul-
tously offer to the sneak thieves who
have been SO busy Of late in roNbing
vegetable gardens and committing
other depredations.
The glorious rain that has fallen lately
will be of incalculable benefit to this
section of the country. 1t came just
in time to give vegetation splendid
start, aud to secure crop of after
math, which is so valuable to farmers.
The showers found the earth in good
condition to absorb the rain.
DR.. +. G.. Stevens, the we'll known
Dentist of Barton Landing will be at
the Stewart House next Thursday and
Friday, July % and %. All those in
need of his services should make ear
ly appointments as Mr.. Stevens well
earned reputation will ensure him u
liberal patronage wherever he goes, for
good work always tells.
OTdU, that party from Richmond,
Pc, will pay visit here on Saturday,
July 81. Arrangements are being per-
{n u ;,J
tiOn the day to be devoted to boating,
and picnic at the grove, at which the
Island Pond Brass Band will be pres
ent. We know of no better place to
enjoy days recreation, than Island
Pond. The scenery is delightful, fish
ing excellent, and the hospitality Of its
citizens unbounded.
Francis Richardson, the popular pro.
prietor of the Willoughby Lake House
was In town last week, and informed
us that on Thursday, July 30, at p. NJ.
there would be wrestling match, best
three in five, at his house between
NJ Richardson of West Burke, and c.
II. Burt of South Troy, for a purse OF
$500. These men have been heard OIL
before, so that good exhibition is an
ticipated. In the evening there is to
be Il grand social dance, Bigelow's full
* orchestra supplying the music. The
reputation that Mr.. Richardson enjoys
for his skill and management in con-
Quoting these social assemblies is a
sufficient guarantee that nothing will
be wanting ON his part to make it the
most pleasant affair OF the season.
We see in several of our exchanges
/ that Hon. David II. Beattie is the can.
didate for Presidential elector in the
first Congressional District, and that
Jas. X. Batchelder is candidate in
the third. We do not see why at Hyde
Park the Convention should supply
the first District with a candidate, and
if our contemporaries have made an
incorrect statement, the consequences
may be most disastrous because il
they have such an influence over the
people as they believe they have, they
may induce the voters of the first Dis
trict to vote for Judge Beattie and
thus elect him in a District other than
his own, and so disappoint the Judge
and his own people. 1t is convenient
to clipa statement from another paper
and hand it to typo without giving
