H4T Some towns are blessed
with immigration, our little burgh
has Of late been sorely afflicted
with migration. There has been
a sorrowful exodus from our midst,
viz : Mr.. Leo Perret and family,
Mr.. L. J. Smith and family, Mr..
Henri Senac and family, all gone
to New Iberia, and good and jolly
shoemaker Mackie who has depart.
ed for Colorado, in the far looming
west. What can be the reason
VIZ wonder of it amt the misera'
bic condition Of our town and
most especially its sidewalks
which unfortunately prognasticate
more q fall than a rise in affairs.

All You Think.

Even to your most intimate
friends it is not safe to say all you
think concerning them or their ac'
tons. You are not called upon
to gloss over their faults, but you
need not expose their follies. Bru-
tality of speaking is too often dig
niied with the title of sincerity.
Some persons pique themselves
upon all they think. and are con.
tinually protesting to do SO. As
a proof of this. they VII say things
the most shocking to others, and
give them pain without the least
remorse. Such so called sincerity
is to be suspected. The conduct
which an honest heart inspires
flows naturally from it 4; aud those
who say rough things in order 20
convince others Of their sincerity
give some reason to doubt Of their
being perfectly convinced of it
themselves. Their conduct is
pernicious to the peace and pleas
ure Of society, and may also lead
to very fatal consequences. They
do what they can to frighten every
one from what is right. If sin
cerity, then, discovers such a
heart, disguise must appear desira-
able. Few consider sufficiently
how much the cause Of virtue must
suffer, whenever a good quality
is made to appear in an unamiable
light. Sincerity is, indeed, the
: groundwork of all that is gooI
, and valuable. However beautiful
|in appearance the structure may
be, if it stand not on this founda-
! ton it cannot last. But sincerity
; can hardly be called a virtue in
! itself, though a deviation from it
is a fault. A man may be sincere
in his vices, as we'll as in his vir'
tues. Now he who throws off all
remorse or shame, and even make
a boast of his vices, can claim nc
merit from the sincerity he ex
5 presses in 80 doing. If he Who is
sincere cannot appear amiable, biz
heart is wrong, and his sincerity
e far from being a virtue, seems
on.y to add to the rest of bis fas't'
r that of be;ugwilling to give pail
o to others.

Taking Hand in the Buying Up OF His
Estate.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. THE Spragues
have taken hand in the buying up of the
trust estate, and have succeeded in aettine a
better bargain than even the syndicate, which
has been buying Trustee Chafee's title, while
the Sprsgues or rather one who stands in with
them, have secured q title on an execution
SALE Two years ago, Trustee Chafee obtained
a judgment against the Sprague Moving Ma
chine Company, and an execution was issued
upon the property of that corporation, consist
ing OF 81 lots of land, situated in very desira-
Bile location in this city. Upon the land are
some large and extremely we'll built structures
suitable for any kind of manufacturing hnsi-
ness. The property was sold at auction last
Saturday. but so quietly that very few people
were aware Of the fact. The syndicate were
present IN full force, and started the bidding
at the ridicuiously low figure of $1,000. Mr.
Daniel s. Lyman, Gov. Spragues business di-
rector and accountant, raised the syndicate
500, and followed them up with a similar bid
every time they raised 500. Once he bid
$500. Presumably this bid caused them to
think that Mr.. Lyman was playing bluff
game with the intent to get them to pay q
good round sum for the property, for they
ceased to bid at $780, 900, and in a few moments
Mr.. Lymon had secured the property for Sl9,-
100. He is allowed until the 18th inst. to
make his payment, and will be ON deck with
the nece -sary funds. The title is believed to
be absolutely sound and binding. There is a
$40 900 mortgage on the property, which sum,
with the S19 100, is \ great deal less than the
actual value of the estate.
