servedly popular, and is, without ex-

diversified a character that it never
fails to interest, instruct and amuse,
and is welcomed in every house
hold by the old and the young alike.

tertainment and instruction of a supe-
riOr order for so low price.

Sale Of n Famous Cow.

The celebrated Jersey Queen" of
which SO much talk has been made in
the papers for the past two years, was
sold last week to A. B. Darling, Esq,
of New York, for $1,000. The Queen
was bred by E. & T. Fairbanks of this
place, and when calf was sold to
Duncan Harvey of Peacham, together
with her mother, for $50. Some two
years ago the Queen came into posses
sion of Josiah Emerson, of Barnet,
who at once commenced to push her,
keeping account of amount of butter
made from her milk. Last year her
record was over 700 lbs, and it is I'M
derstoOd that she will this year beat
her last years record. Since the COW
became so famous, there have been
many attempts to buy her, but as she
was not recorded on the Jersey Herd

assembled for the purpose of express
ing thanks to their worthy and beloved
pastor, Rev. j. H. BOissOnnault. Ad
dresses were read by DIR. Paquet, w.
Loucks and j. L. Monty, after which
were presented the gifts, consisting of
an album, gold pen and lamp. The
Rev. Father responded with feelings
of profound gratitude, expressing his
surprise at the unexpected presents,
saying that they should be kept as a
souvenir of 1882, and assuring the
members that the album would not be
complete until it contained a picture of
each member of the association. He
closed his remarks by wishing every
success to the society, promising to
give them all the assistance in his pow
er, for the future.

While our patent laws are more liberal, and at

Become Insane.

E. d. Hopkins, who was convicted
of larceny at the recent term of court,
and whose case is to be carried up to
the Supreme court, has become vio-
lently insane. He has been in that
condition about ten days, and part
of the time it has required cOnsidera-
BILE force to prevent his hurting him
self and others. Selectman Higgins
went to BrattlebOrO this week to make
arrangements for placing Hopkins in
the asylum there, and the latter was
taken away today (Thursday.) 1t is
supposed that his recent experiences
have proved too much for his mind.
He has been stopping at A. r. Lucas
for some time past.

The Weather.

The contrast in the weather of last
winter and the present one thus far, is
so marked as to warrant a comparison.
Last season snow fell on the night of
November 20, and there was uninter-
rupted sleighing from that time on I'M
til spring. Thus, one year ago to-day,
there had been forty six days of sleigh
ing. This year there has not been one
day. From the middle of November
last winter, till some time in February,
it was steadily cold weather, most of
the time the mercury ranging below
zero. This year almost the entire
month of November was a prolonged
Indian summer, and the mercury has
rarely touched zero. This, the coolest
morning of the winter, it was l20 be
low thus proving the old saying
the days begin to lengthen, the cold
begins to strengthen"

The Village Meeting.

Inc village Meetins.
The village meeting Oh Wednesday
afternoon was fairly attended, and
passed off with all the smOothness
imaginable. 1t had been rumOred that
the ''Gulf" issue was coming up and
there would likely he some fun but
there wasn't excitement enough about
the meeting to take off the chill which
pervaded the air of the hall.
The meeting was called to order by
n. NJ. johnson, who was elected Pres

clined to serve and w. S. BOyntOn

gentleman was also reelected Treas

Article two was then taken up

adopt the provision of the last legisla-
ture which places the collection OF
taxes in the hands of the treasurer,
who, after 90 days notice, and 4 pei
cent. discount, is to place warrant III
the hands of collector for the cOllec-
ton of all delinquent taxes, with costs
II. S. Wright and A. j. Willard favored
adopting this law because it had
worked well elsewhere and they be
lieved it would here they thought il
would be an improvement over the
old fashioned method of collection
IL. G. Ide, Esq, argued that the adOp
ton of this provision would not oh
viate the election of collector; would
prove an expensive and annoying
change, and offered no real advantage
over the old way of doing the business
On motion of H. c. Belden, Esq, tn,
article was dismissed. A. ID. Pike wa
then chosen Collector with the under
standing that he was to COLLECT all col
lectible taxes for the sum of 5000"
