The august board of Fence Viewers
responded to an official call on Tues
day for the purpose of establishing a

nifty. They greeted friends pleasantly
while en- route for the scene of action.
but were very reticent upon all ques-
tions touching their official duties.
After reaching the ground, Judge

The Camilla Urso Concert was lls-
tened to Wednesday evening by q
large and appreciative audience, CON-
posed of people from this and many
neighboring towns. Although nearly
500 people were present, all, we be-
lieve, were comfortably seated and
well pleased with The entertainment.
The gratitude of our people could but
90 out to Roberts and Foster who
fist inaugHrated the hall improve
ments, and to those who have laboreC
for their completion. 1t is hoped the
good work will be kept up until al
the essc ltials of well appointed hal
are realized. About $50 of the receipts
from the concert were added to thu
hall fund. All, we think, will join il
a hearty expression of thanks to on
neighbors from other towns who s.
literally favored us with their presenc
and patronage.
We have recently seen the book i
which Doty has kept the account {
the Town Hall repair fund, shown
that he has received from the variou
entertainments and from several pr
vate donations (not including Il
three chandeliers costing S45) Il
sum of S3S0.24. His vouchers Fl
bills paid show the total amou,
to be 1881 20, as may be seen by al
one who desires. No part of th
sum has come from the town treasur
A plan is now talked of whereby
