HAVING IMr,
It's haying tine, The fields Ito green
Meath skies where not cloud Is seen
The soft air waits q sweet perfume
Of new mown hay aud flowers In bloom,
The sturdy granger In the fields,
With tireless arm, his keen seythe Yields
And while he mows great care hc takes
To watch for hornets nests and snakes,
Spring cleaning has become some-
what mitigated, Tho women have
taken tho handkerchief from their
heads, aud the man Of the house don't
swear 50 proOscly,

Now the ripcning grass, in emulation
of Oliver Twist, calls for mower,
The person who borrowed Of lady
some time ago the first volume Of DR..
Aubignc's History Of the determinations
is requested to return H.
Our folks arc signing Tor show OF
some kind. There has not been one
here for several months. Take courage
the Fourth of July is coming,
A brother clergyman from the Gram
tic State filed the pulpit OF the
Congregational Church last Sunday
in exchange with the pastor, Rev, l..
w. Hicks. lie read II letter by Mr..
Hicks rcsigning his pastoraic 'of the
church, said resignation to take effect
August lst next. This announcement
was like clap of thunder from clear
sky to his congregation, and what they
are going to do about il remains to be
seen. We understand he intends TO
move to Wcathersdcld, Conn, where
he has received II unanimous call. Mr..
Hicks is n very worthy man and an
able preacher. lie has been here some
seven years, and if he goes, we shall
regret his departure very much.
Frank Bryant and family of Smith
vile, n. j., are visiting ut his fathers.
o. A. Bryant, Esq. lie has been with
the Hon. II. b. Smith for seventeen
years, first entering his employ at
Lowell. Mass. where he remained one
year, then moving with him to New
Jersey, where he founded Smithville,
and is now one of the largest manu-
facturers of wood working machinery
in the country. Mr.. Bryant has charge
of one of the shops and gang of men.
How is that for steadmess of purpose
in a boy?
0. w. Richardson, we'll known
printer on the AGE and the STANDARD,
is visiting the scenes of his boyhood,
and friends here. He has filled re-
sponsible position on the BosToN DAILY
ADVERTISER for many years. He does
not look as robust as he did 20 years
ago. Life on daily paper--or in fact
any paper-at best, is hard. lie needs
to throw off the harness for awhile.
A Master Mason, Mr.. Ripley, ar
rived from Montpelier last evening"
He is not one of those fellows who
