In response to the numerous en-

til the Presidential election for so
cents.
During the twelve months ending
March 81, 1880, there has been weighed

of Hemloek bark, containing in the

Miss Eola Morse is in Boston taking
lessons in vocal and instrumental
music. We learn tbat she is making
excellent progress in these studies, thus
rejecting credit on herself and in
struetors.

Rev. L. Il. Tabor preached a very
able and powerful discourse last Sun
day afternoon ut the Congregational
church, enumerating the vices and
evils in society which the church ought
vigorously to contend against. He
seems to have lost little of his old time
vigor.
The NJ. Z. Society of this place are
to be congratulated in the return of
Rev. r. L. Bruce for another year.
Sine Mr.. Bruce first arrived in Island
Pond, he has labored with this organi-
cation in an able and efficient manner,
winning the resps It and esteem of all
those acquainted with him.

The caucus to elect delegates to Hyde
Park Convention was but slinlly at
tended. A. Bartlett was elected chair
man, and w. II. Bishop clerk. ].
A. Mansur and VIM. Cheney were
elected as delegates, with Geo. L.
Clarke and Geo. S. Robinson as al
ternates. Votel, that the delegates be
instructed to vote for such men as
favor the nomination of Senator Ed
munds for the Presidency.
Last Tuesday evening as Orange
Mansur and W. B. Fletcher were out
riding. the king-bolt came out, causing
one half of the buggy with Fletcher
seated therein to take a rest, while the
horse went of with the other half
dragging Orange along the ground.
The latter held on to the reins and
soon succeeded in bringing the horse
to standstiM. No damage done, the
parties being more frightened than
hurt.
BRAKEMEN To BE PRoTEcFED.-The
Grand Trunk Railway Company, in
order the better to protect the lives of
brakemen in thar employ, are max
ing arrangements for the placing OF
ratings along the tops of all their
freight cara. 1t is proposed to have
the railing at least two feet high, be-
tween which the brakeman will walk
when obliged to be on the summit
of the cars when in motion. During
stormy weather he will thus have a
certain protection from being swept
off.
Sugar parties are very popular just
now. Last Monday morning party
were invited out to the sugar camp of
Mr.. E. A. Bsmis, we editor being
among the favored ones. Not having
had an opportunity to attend q
gathering OF that kind before, we gla l.
ly accepted the invitation. The
roads were bad, and the horse was
balky, but these inconvenience were
soon forgotten in our keen enjoy
ment of the splendid sugar such as Mr..
Bemis knows how to make. Many
were the compliments bestowed upon
its excellence, and we agree with them
all, for it was good. In the afternoon a
large number went to Mr.. VIM. Rose
brooks for a sugaring off, and all re-
port a good, soeet, social time.
"ONLY ONE HALF OF THE VARIOUS
TOWNS IN THE COUNTY WE'RE REPRE-
SCENTED: This was the reply made to
us in response to our enquiry, chow
mlny towns ware represented at the

On the first Tuesday of March, we go

eial, moral and intellectual welfare of
our towns. We hear the report of the
School superintendent read, and find
therein complaint that the parents,
and others having the care of those
who go to school, never go to see how
