NY ton of Island Pond Lodge, No.
w Al +. 81 A. NJ, will be held in
their Lodge Room next Monday even

We have been solicited to give fav-
orable notice to a recent publication
issued in Boston, which does not mes t,
as we believe with the approval Of
most rejecting people. The work
does not commend itself to our judg-
nent. We do not intend to lend the
columns of the "HERALD" for fayora-
BILE comment on any publication or any
measure whatever, waioA to oar mind
is of questionable effect.
Posters are out announcing grand
gala day for Friday June ii, being
the occasion of the opening of Clarke's
Opera House. There will be a Base
Ball match between the "Actives" of
this place, and the Maple Leafs of
Coaticook. The Steamer MAGIC will
makeregular trips throughout the day,
and in the evening there is to be
grand social hop with good music.
We hope to see large attendance.
The entertainments given by the Guy
Family were largely attended, many
having to 60 away on account of the
crowded condition of the hall. This
recognition OF the abilities Of this
celebrated family WAS we'll deserved,
for they gave the best entertainments
of the kind that we have seen here for
many a long day. The singing of Mr..
Geo. Guy ST., being exceedingly lively,
artistic and grand; the music was ex.
cellent, and the various other parts of
the performances were thoroughly en-
joyed, the several appearances being
warmly applauded. There was nothing
low or vulgar in either Of the perform
ances and pleas inter ones could hardly
be imagined. Should they again visit
this place they will meet with like
cordial reception.
Scion Chase introduced T. NJ. Fogg,
of unsavOry State steal reputa-
ton, as being the Greenback candi-
date for Congress in the District now
represented by Hon. VIM. p. Frye, and
declared that he (Fogg) was going to
be elected. Mr. Fogg has good deal
of the style and appearance of a Free
Will Baptist Revival preacher with a
dash of Kearneyism. His declarations
that "The Convention in Chicago is
composed of thieves, and the biggest
thief of the lot will win the nomina
ton )" and his talk about the "bloat-
ed bondholders," and such stuff, shows
conclusively that Mr.. Fogg has been a
diligent student of the redoubtable
sand lot Orator. If the voters of that
District do elect him over such man
as VIM. P, Frye, they are the worst be-
logged set of men that ever sailed on
that coast.
We are panied to hear rumors that
the State lawsfor the proper regulation
