The RECEPTIoN-Last Friday even
ing the Baptist church and society re-
ceived their newly settled pastor and his
lady at their vestry-'- twas an occasion
of the interchange of pleasure and
hearty greetings between people and
pastor, as we'll as the reception by the
new housekeepers of such practical
commodities as barrels of flour, sacks
of potatoes, cake ad Hbitum, &C., &c.
But the half has not been told, for the
windup was real live wedding, in
which our respected townsman, Mr..
William Castle was bridegroom, and
Mrs. C. C. Cudworth was the bride.
We tender to the welded pair our re-
spectful and sincere congratulations,
and wish them an enduring honey
moon amid the charming scenery of
their hillside home.
Again has our Jamaica House livery
stable changed hands. Mr.. Davis, who
ran it for short time having just sold
out to the Mclean brothers, the owners
of the Jamaica House, and taken the
hotel at North Londonderry. Mr..
Stockwell, who run our hotel SO salts
factorily to the public, and we hope to
himself also, for the past year, has
gracefully retired, and Mr.. Frank Nc
Lean is now mine host of the Jamaica
House. And SO we "welcome the COM
ing, speed the parting guest" and hear.
tily wish them all prosperous future.
''May their shadows never grow less.
And Just here we condole with London
derry for not having barber. The
SITTER is anxious about it. Very nat
ural, my dear Sitter, but we can't spare
you the professor-who besides run
ming the fancy grocery of the town, is
doing cracking business as a tonsorial
artist. But then, Jamaica is alarge
place, and of course gives a first class
barber a better show than places up
towards the north pole.
Mrs. Fannie Howard has moved from
the Baptist parsonage into Mr.. William
Johnson's new house.
Our people hail the SIFTER's appear
ance as an eight column paper with high
satisfaction. This gives four more
columns of independence; and the peo-
pie enjoy ton paper. The SITTER
grows almost as fast as Jonah's gourd.
DECORATION DAY AT JAMAICA.
We are requested to notify the veter-
ans Of Scott Post, of Jamaica, that they
are to meet at the cemetery down to-
wards Townshend, and at Jacksonville
at 10 o'clock a. NJ, sand at Jamaica at l
o'clock p. m, May 3oth, to decorate
graves of fallen comrades at each Of
said places. Appropriate services will
be held at each place. Music by the
band. The veterans of Wardsboro and
Stratton are especially requested and
expected to answer the call with their
sons, daughters, families and friends.
Common patriotism will not be satisfied
with less than full and prompt res
ponse. We need flowers, and lots of
them, and confidently rely on all, and
especially on the ladies, to take charge
of the matter and provide plenty Of
flowers for the occasion. The veterans
are anxious that on this presidential
year Jamaica shall have a decoration
worthy Of the town, and of the cause.
At each cemetery speaking may be ex-
pected, and especially at Jamaica.
