Garibaidi said q few years ago, in

I am, however, a little of :, mathema-
tician and a little of an astronomer,
owing IN my long sea life and on the
sea saw and observed the works
of God; but, repeat. ! have not the
presumption Ia teach God. Truth,
Reason, and God are, in my opinion,
synonymous. Copernicus, Leibuitz,

of the Messiah last Friday evening was
an amusing affair. The characters
were too numerous to describe all
were well gotten up and carried out
their parts well. Mrs. Darlington and
Ike received the company in their
quaint way Ike showed unusual pol
ish, as Mrs. Darlington said he had just
come from a "degradedn school, but
the old lady refused him refreshments,
as his "digression" was poor. A scene
quite appropriate to the times was Mrs.
O'Brien, the fish woman, going for the
Chinaman who stole her fish. She beat
him to the wall and it was very evident
that the "heathen Chinee" would "have
to go" before that force. Josiah and
Samantha, with their family, attracted
much attention. A poem read by Miss
Jenness, recitation by Lizzie Under
wood, song by DIR. Grow and one by
Mrs. Hovey and Miss Edith Hovey,
were all entertaining features of this
pleasant occasion.

Molly Stark Concert.

The Emerson Concert company did
not draw a crowded house last Satur-
day evening, but those who were pres
ent appeared to enjoy the programme
offered them. Emerson is a master
hand at the cornet-the finest player
we have ever heard-and his solo was
encored to the echo. The only fault
we have to find with him is that he
didn't appear often enough, but was
too sparing of himself. One of his add
vertised solos was omitted, and cor
net, flute and piano trio substituted ;
the audience didn't think much of the
change, for they would much rather
have had Mr.. Emerson "stick to his
text" Mr.. elders piano playing was
brilliant; especially good was his rem
dering of "The Brook Mrs. Carter
sang well, particularly as to execution
Miss May has IA pleasant contralto
voice, and was recalled at each appear
ance. Master, Lee has more of the
baritone quality than the tenor about
his voice, and his singing was not above
the average. Mr.. Van SantvOOrd's
performances on the flute We're pleas
ing, and he was treated to an encore.
Mr.. De Seve's handling of the violin
was the best thing of the evening, and
met with emphatic demonstrations OF
approval. He is said by those who
have heard Ole Bull to resemble him
very much in attitude and style OF
| playing certainly his execution is re-
markable. He enters into the spirit
of his work, has an attractive face
and cannot fail to win the plaudits OF
an audience. His response to a sec
Ond encore, when he played the Gear
nival of Venice" with variations, call
ed out storm of applause, and he
was compelled to bow his acknOwl,
edgements and excuses three times be-
fore the audience gave up the attempt
to get another contribution from him
Financially the concert was not a sue
cess-which, taking into consideration
the destination of proceeds, is a mat
| ter of regret.

Special School Meeting.

In accordance with the desire ex-
pressed at the recent annual school
meeting, special meeting has been
called for Monday evening of next
week, the 10th:
1. To see if the district will rescind
vote to build new house.
2. To see if the district will modify
or change said vote.
3. To see if the district will raise
money to defray expense of building
by tax or loan.
4. To see what means the district
will adopt to provide additional facili-
ties 5 and how to defray expense of
same.
6. To see if the district will cOntin-
ue same arrangement with academy.
We hope the voters of this district
especially those most interested
will turn out in full force at this meet
ing, and get this school building job of
their hands to their own satisfaction.
If a majority of the voters want an
SIS, 900 schOOlhOuse built opposite the
present house, they will have a chance
next Monday night to say so if they
want to get along with a cheaper
building, in a different locality, they
will have opportunity to say so. The
majority will never be satisfied about
this matter until the majority make
themselves manifest. We hope the
building committee" will get instruc-
tons at the next meeting which they
can rely on as expressive of the pOpu-
lar desire. Among several plans we
have heard talked of is one to build an
addition to the north wing of the pres
ent building, two stories high buy
the Arnold property and hold it in
readiness till additional room is need
ed, then complete the erection of a
building similar in style to the present

Mrs. A. w. Porter, so well known in

entertainment. The soloists, Mr.. Otto

ter, vocalist, teachers at the Conserv-
atory), acquitted themselves credit
ably. OF Mrs. Porter's voice and meth

Naturally a deep, full and pure con-
tralto, her voice gives evidence of hay
ing received careful training, reflect
ing much credit upon the several able
teachers with whom she has been
studying for the past six years among
them may be mentioned the late
Madame RudersdOrff. Her songs were
all rendered artistically, yet we will
mention particularly the 'Stille Amaze
by Handel, and the lovely little gem,
Forest Birds by Franz. 1t is to be
hoped that Mrs. Porter may be heard
more frequently in concert, instead OF
devoting her time so exclusively to
teaching and study

We gladly publish the following letter from
practical farmer

WNDHAM n. H, Dec. 81, 1881.
BRADLEY FERTILIZER Coin regard to Bradley's
Phosphate, think there is but one question to be
met,-Can farmers afford to pay the pricel l think
the price is high; but 1 would ask every farmer if
it is not as cheap any manure he can buy count
ing the cost of handling Barn-yard manure can
not be obtained in sufficient quantities. Every
farmer wants all he can make and then does not
have halt enough. 1t is my opinion that it pays
New Hampshire farmers to buy the Phosphate
even at present price Let every farmer who does
not cut his barn full of hay buy few barrels of
Bradleys Phosphate, and il broadcast upon
his fields about the first of april say FIVE hundred
pounds per acre where the grass is not all bound
out and nine out of every ten will say it pays 1t
will last as long $ any MANURE. This can show
on my farm. You complain of your pastures Try
Bradleys Phosphate them. Your cows are poor
and are not doing well; they inclined to chew
bones your pasture has been very good one
your father and grandfather called it good,-what
is the history of itl A nice lot of land running
back from your barn on to a beautiful hill very
convenient for the young cattle from early spring
until late in the fall and the have cropped it
every summer from your earliest remembrance
and not pound of manure has been carried on
to it. You have raised your cattle, fatted your
beef had all your milk pastured your horses it,
and have never made the slightest return. Now, 1
ask you if it is not reasonable to suppose that it
would pay to put some kind of manure your
pasturel And how can you do it any cheaper or
easier than by using Bradley's PhOsphstel know
it will pay you to use it literally. have stated to
you my ideas, but think every one feels more the
force of a truth after he has demonstrated it for
himself. Your farm may be small and your means
cramped: but l advise you to buy Bradley's Phos-
phate and give il fair trial.

of consideration. Possibly there are

Pres't SeeIye's Lecture.

The last lecture of the course was
delivered on Monday evening by Pres
ident Seelye, of Amherst College, who,
after being introduced by Rev. Mr..
Jones, spoke concerning India. In
opening he reviewed the early history
of India, down to the time of its sub
.jugation by England its dense popu-
latiOn and its strong impulses to con-
quest and commerce and then in an
interesting manner went on to speak
of the enormous wealth of that cOun-
try and the consequent temptations
offered to outside nations the inten-
sity of the climate and the devices re-
sorted to by Europeans for keeping
cool the noticeable diversity of the
native population as regards color,
caste, language, etc. In connection
with England's iron hold on India, and
the apparent necessity for it, the lect-
urer gave Il thrilling description of the
Sepoy mutiny and the atrocities com
mitted upon the European residents.
He thought nothing would break down
the caste system there nothing would
harmonic the people and make them
in any way tit to govern themselves
save the gospel of Christ persistently
preached and exemplified.
President Seelye spoke for an hour
basing much of what he said on per
sonal observation. One thing which
married the enjoyment of the lecture
was the fact that people i'll the back
part of the hall were often unable tt
hear what the speaker said.

About eleven o'clock last Friday
forenoon, the Hale house, occupied by
Palmer Kinney, was discovered to be
on fire, and in spite of the earnest eff
forts of the citizens, was entirely con-
sumed. The fire originated in the
attic, from defective chimney every
thing in the house was, however, saved.
The loss is estimated at about 5000,
but is partially covered by insurance.
This occurrence very clearly illustrates
the need of some adequate means for
extinguishing fires. For a compare
lively small sum enough hose could be
bought to go all over the village, and
by attaching this to a pump at the pulp
mill very efficient means for that
purpose would be secured.
