tival been held than that which the ladies Of the
aid society arranged in the Congregational church
last Friday evening Three long tables were
spread in the basement OF the church, which had
been rendered cheerful and attractive by flags and
evergreens. The tables, with their furnishing and
the tasteful arrangement OF particolored Chinese
napkins presented very inviting appearance.
The church and vestry were thrown open, the re-
Gently purchased organ had arrived, 80 that with
music new sugar, a bountifnl entertainment and |
goodly company Of two hundred fifty the oc-
cason was an exceptionally pleasant one in all re-
spects, and the treasury Of the society received
substantial addition to Its fund. The new Mason |
& IIamn organ exctes considerable interest,-an |
interest which is not confined exclusively to the
Congregational society. It will doubtless prove |
satisfactory to all directly interested VIII en- its
quality and capacity have been fairly tested In |
the four weeks during which 1t will remain on |
trial. there will be ample time to examine the |

the society will raise up ts church and put
basement story under It, and make other desir-
able improvements Mr.. Nathaniel Moody is re-
ported to have promised "a better organ than
the Congregationalsts have bought" The very
attractive church privileges OF the latter society,

in a locality more suited to sacred worship,
build new church, and in the end you will be
the gamers. -. There were some sharp contests
in the late town meeting. without in any way
impugning the capacity OF the listers chosen, the
action Of the voters in defeating the election of c.

as mistake There was no more laborious, fear
less, or competent work done by any lister in the
state than that which Mr.. Clough gave to the
| town last spring. lie fully earned larger COM
pensation than he charged His services were
cheap, and it is entirely to Mr.. Coughs credit
that he was most sharply opposed by certain
| large taxpayers who had hitherto escaped paying
their fair share of the public burdens. "Gov-
ernor" Moody undertook to /" set down " on Ze-
mas Watts IA overseer Of the poor, but found he
had mistaken hornets nest for cushion, and
| was thoroughly wounded in every respect"
Zenas' friends trumphantly reelected him and
accepted the oflice,-all by reason OF the &c Gov
ernors" opposition. 7. G. wright's official head,
as superintendent of schools, rolled in the basket
as penalty for his candor in reporting the con-
| ition of the schools and for his temerity in rec
ommending the adoption Of the town system as a
remedy for the evils Of the district system. Mr..
Wright Is good teacher, and has been faithful
superintendent us successor Rev MIR Cbnrcb.
