We very reluctantly say good bye to
Miss Winnie Sawyer of Yarmouth, Me-,

six weeks. She makes friends wher-
ever she goes.
Mr.. Judson Bryant sold at public
auction, on Thursday of last week,
hay, grain, COWS, swine, farming tools,
etc, but did not sell the farm that
day. Owing to the inclenency Of the
weather the right man could not come
we expect. The farm will be sold at
some price, soon, and whoever wants
snug little home and good farm at
reasonable rates should take advan-
tage of this opportunity and buy of
Mr.. Bryant. Give him call and judge
for yourselves, We homeless ones.
We are glad to report this week that
our folks are wide awake in the matter
of repairing our church. It has long
needed new Singing, and painting,
while the interior needs whitewashing
or something better. The stewards
and committee meet this week Thurs.
day to decide how and when to com
mence work. we hope it will be i'm

be completed during these pleasant
days.

Prof. &c. Taylor, the Ilusionist is
giving our people rich entertain
ment at the Opera House, this week,
and all who have witnessed it thus far
unite in pronouncing it the best of the
kind ever here. On Wednesday even
ing he commenced With o very small
audience, but last night the reports of
those who were present, brought out
a large house, and tonight it will I'M
doubtedly be largely increased. His
performances are all SO openly given
that it is impossible to detect the I'M
real, which of course must exist, as the
reality would be an utter impossible
ty, while the egg dance by Mile Irena,
and the performances of the boy mu-
stefan upon the piano are simply Won
derful. We cannot describe it, and it
| is only by attending that it can be APP
preciated. -Moa1tajneor, Gorham, N.

Dear Herald.

Dear HerdI6:
Mr.. Bonney todayintroduced in the
House bill laying tax on the towns
of Ferdinand and Lewis for the pur-
pose of repairing the road in Ferdi-
naed, and it was, by request, referred
to q select committee of the members
from Essex county, who will, | have
no doubt, report favorabiy to its pas
sage. The committee organized by
making +. ID. Hale chairman, and
have notified the land owners that
they will give hearing next Wednes-
day evening and have invited the
land tax committee of the Senate to
sit with them, so as to obviate the ne
cessity of Il second hearing. | have
been requested by some of the land
owners of Ferdinand to oppose this
bill, and, instead, to secure change
in the present law so as to put all the
roads in unorganized towns under the
control OF the Assistant Judges of the
County Court, and supported by a
county tax. While such d measure as
this would be Of pecuniary advantage
to me, as | own several thousand acres
of land in Ferdinand, yet | cannot see
the justice Of it. fail to see why the
organized towns maintaining their
own roads at their own expense
should be called upon to share the ex-
pense of making and repairing roads
in unorganized towns. Ny only inter-
est in this matter is to see good road
through Ferdinand for my own occa-
sional use and for the benefit of the
travelling public, and, in justice, de-
sire that the expense should be borne
by those who ought to bear it. And
as these lands are not taxed for any
other purpose, not even by the State,
since the corporation tax law came
into effect, / think it but fair for them
to build and repair their roads. If the
county thinks otherwise, and will give
expression to their wishes, by resolu-
ton, adopted on the fourth of Noyein-
Der next, and communicate the same
to me | will endeavor TO carry out
their wishes. Yours Truly,
s. D. HoDsoN.
