amendment given to the fire engineers,
After considerable discussion, partici-
pated in by Messrs. Smith, H. c. Ide,
y. p. Bowman, E. F. Griswold, n. NJ.
johnson and others, the matter was
laid upon the table until some future
meeting, thus giving time to examine
the law, which has not yet come to hand.
The question of raising money was
also laid on the table until some future
meeting.
The business of the warrant being all
disposed of except to "do any other
business which can legally be done at
said meeting" H. c. Ide, Esq, said
that the retiring board of trustees had
made statement of the lack of water,
and the necessity of some action to
procure the same, and asked that a
committee be appointed to investigate
and report as to what can be done in
the matter, and he moved that a COM
mittee of three be elected to investi-
gate the question in all its bearings and
report at an adjourned meeting. Mr..
Bates wanted to know what the ques-
tions at issue were. o. w. Orcutt, one
OF the late board of trustees, said the
question of infringement of patent on
the pump was raised, and he believed
the point was well taken; at any rate
Judge Wheeler had decided against the
Flanders. Besides that, the village was
out of water, and was likely to be; and
the reason there was any water in the
pipes to-day was because two of the
shops had shut down. He thought the
committee should act at once. This
committee was finally elected as fol-
lows:
Special Committee Henry G.. Ide,
Chauncey Walker, Geo. E. Howe.
Before this committee was finally
chosen, both L. 6. Spencer and n. NJ.
johnson were elected, and both declined
serving. This special committee are to
report at an adjourned meeting, Oh
Wednesday, Feb. ?. On motion of
Capt. Ide, the trustees were instructed
to make all reasonable effort to tempo
rarily supply the village with water.
Thus closed village meeting which
might have turned out a good deal
worse, as those present were fully
aware. The board of officers elected is
a good one, and every thing passed off
quite tremendously.

There was no discussion or delay in
the business until the office of collector
was reached. 1t was decided to sell
the office to the man who would collect
the taxes for the least money. The
bidding begun at $3.50, and was quite
spirited between H. S. Wright and A.
j. Willard until it ran down to 500,
when Mr.. Willard abandoned the field.

tees, was put in nomination for re-elec-
ton, but positively declined to have his
name used.
The question coming up relative to
adopting Inc amendment to the village

ture, MI. Walter p Smith was called
upon to state what that amendment is,
anu he explained that the duties now

Year BY Year the business of Patent Of
flee increases in volume and in a similar ratio the
difficulty experienced by inventors in securing for
themselves the full benefits of the products Of
fertile brain. This is not due to red-tapism in the
department, but to lack of information regarding
patentability, conflicting claims and other obstA-
cles, such as none but expert in the business is
competent to give. While the United States is the
most prolific of all nations in its inventive capacity
it is also favored in having many gentlemen of
great experience in procuring for inventors the
proper recognition of and protection for their in
ventions. of these agents, no one is better known
or more Justly esteemed than Mr.. r. II. Eddy Of
Boston who for twoscOre years has been recogniz-
ed as one of the most judicOus and successful Pa
tent Solicitors in any country. His vast expert
ence in the business, and perfect familiarity with
all the details and routine of the Patent Office rem
der his services particularly desirable to all having
transactions herewith.

Frigid Weather.

The last two or three days of 1880
and the first three or four of 1881, made
up the longest continued severe cold
weather that our entire country has ex-
perienced during the last quarter or
half century. In this immediate vicin-
ty the mercury did not run SO low as it
has frequently heretofore but the cold
was SO prolonged that it made a severe
time of it, with mercury ranging from
10 to 30 below zero on several consecu-
tive mornings. How the country at
large was affected, is noticed in another
place.

The Job on the broken water pipe at
the mill pond has been quite serious,
since it has had to be done during the
severe cold weather. Considerable pre-
paration had to be made in one way
and another, building hoisting appara
tus, box, cutting ice, etc. 1t appears
that where the pipe went over ledge
in the water, about a foot above it,
was where the breakage occurred.
There had been Il filling of gravel
around the pipe at this point, which
washed out, when the ice above press
ing upon it caused it to break square
off. The iron pipe, which is z inches
in diameter, has hinge joints, so it could
be repaired above the water, and then
let down again all right. 1t is now I'M
derstoOd that when warm weather
comes the pipe will be taken up here
and relaid along the south bank of the
river to a point further up before cross
ing where the water is not as deep, and
the current not as strong. This APP
pears like a good plan, as it would seem
that there would be less liability to
such serious disturbances.
