Mr.. E. II. Folsom has taken posses
sion of the Stewart House. We cor
daily wish for him abundant success
in his new undertaking.
We are very glad TO learn that ii
has been decided that Mr.. Noyes will
remain in Island Pond, at least for The
present. The town wants to keep all

will prove acceptable to our readers.
We refer more especially to our budget
of New England and General News,

We understand that the music at
Christ Church on Sunday next, whit
Sunday will be rendered by very
full choir, and will be especially APP
propriate to the day. The choir has
recently been increased in size, and
special practicings have been held. We
also understand that this choir is a
permanent organization.
Little George was taken to church
last Sunday for the first time. Of
course he was piled with questions
when he got home-what did he think
of this, that and the other, what did
he see and what did he hear? what
did the minister say, George?" asked
his mother. 'He said 'Dreat bod
dust way papa did fodder day when
he was putting down tarpet and hit
his finger wiz um yammer."
A CARD. | desire to express my sin
cere and hearty thanks to my many
friends for the assistance and the kind
sympathy shown Inc ON the occasion
of the burning of my house on last
Saturday night. | can never forget
the ready help and kindness extended
to me, but shall always bear them in

ALMoN SMITH, JR.
We have had the pleasure of looking
over the large stock of new goods in
all departments, selected with great
care under the personal supervision Of
G. NJ. Dyer, (who has just returned
from market,) and especially adapted
to the wants of our community. His
assortment is certainly a very fine one,
and intending purchasers will now
have an opportunity such as seldom
occurs, wherein goods of q superior
quality will be sold at what is consid-
cred to be unprecedently low prices,
and of a nature to tempt all to pur-
chase. Call and see them.
Next Sunday is the festival of Whit
Sunday or Whitsun-Day, which has
been observed in all ages of the Chris
tian Church in remembrance of the
outpouring of the Holy Ghost on the
day of Pentecost. 1t is one Of the great
days set apart in the ancient Church
for the administration of the Sacra-
mept of Baptism-and, according to
some authority, the day takes its name
from the "White" garments ordinarily
worp by those who were to be admit
ted into the Church. The festival falls
just fifty days after Easter.
CUM GRANo SALIs.-We are very
sorry to hear that Sam Durham, who
has been a very faithful and honest
truckman, now meets with opposition
in this business. One of our enterpris-
ing townsmen, now promises to dc
such work quietly and without delay
His charges will be reasonable, and al
goods entrusted to him will be handled
with care. He will be ready at any
and all times, and by giving strict at
tention to the trucking business he
hopes to share in a part of the liberia
patronage bestowed on Sam. Judg
ing from the manner in which 10 per
formed his labors last Saturday morn
ing, we are inclined to thinK he will
be successful.
John Lawrence, Frenchman who
has been sick for some time, died on
Thursday of last week. After his death
some % or 30persons assembled in the
house where the remains were laying
in order to assist in laying the body
out. A large bottle, holding abou
two quarts, and containing spirits o
camphor, was freely passed around
some smelling and Others tasting O
it's contents; but one Antoine Leclair'
imbibed a large quantity, and the ef
feet as may be imagined, was sucn a.
to cause great alarm among those
present. DR.. Pottle was hastily sent
for and in a short time the man was
relieved. He will doubtless hesitat,
before again partaking of such liquids
