Phgnic will allow its usual

phrase which we commend to the liter
airy critic of the PhGaiT to analvze. TIL
The ignoramus who wrote it probabl,
meant statement of imaginary event
or facts, but to say so was quite beyont
his mental capacity. His child-likc ad
mission of his ignorance of the meaning
of Ordinary English words, was an un
necessary frankness; the average readel
would have discovered it without
key.
THANKS FOR NoTHING.-The SIF
TER's Wardsboro scribe is off his base
We never said that the party thai
that ''passed through JamaciG
two weeks ago." ordered dinner al
Stockwelrs hotel, or had anything to
do with party that did. Please point
out any such statement. What a hui
labalo about little German cologne
we rather like the odor. though it is pc
culiar. He jumps to the conclusion
that we meant skunk cabbage, rper-
haps that other thing they put on bait
TO catch fish; or an equally disagreed
bic odor. We did not say disagrceable,
we said peculiar. Did you ever know
of a gathering Of 80 or 40 ladies', and
no odor of perfumery in the air? If
50, you should not be permitted to
cribbel for the SITTER. Did this amia-
BILE friend of ours remain in Jamaica to
see that "in a few moments all was
quiet?" Or does he guess at that also?
Is there any game you can play?
SUGAR PARTY.-The irrepressible
Baptists have sugar party at their YES
try in Jamaica next Tuesday night.
Sugar and syrup may be brought in as
large quantities as your love for the
cause will permit. 1t will keep.
l beg that the few, who out of the
seven or eight hundred subscribers to
the SITTER who happened to read the
Jamaica weekly budget, will believe me
when say that the several words
wrongly spelled last week, were cor
rectly written in the manuscript; but
the first time of printing paper on a
new press is more trying than can be
You who have patiently
waited for the Reto,mer to get in ruiz
ming order, know how it is.
Mr.. o. N. Wardwell and family are
to move from the village up to Ward
well 4 Flint's mill for the summer.
We learn that Mr.. Flint and family will
also move up there. 1t will be more
convenient for their business.
General business seems inclined to
liven up little. The sugar crop prom
ises fairly. Our young and rising ply
sician, DR.. Ray, is home on weeks va
cation from New York, where he is at
tending post graduate medical lectures.
He is looking WELL
We noticed the venerable DR.. Hol-
ton out on the piazza one day last week
taking sun bath. lie has been quite
i'll during the winter, but is feeling
rather better now.
Mr.. Fred Howard, who has for near
or quite two weeks been sick with tv-
phoid pneumonia, died last Sunday at
twelve o'clock. He leavcr q wife and
young daughter. He was thirty two
years OF age. Universally liked and
respected, his sad, and to us, untimcly
death is universally mourncd by the
entire community. His genial and
,Dliging ways endeared him to all who
NEW him.
Weep, o sc stricken once,
Humanity claims,
Its dear rites of love
To the mortal remains
But the Fed of your love
Beckons you over the wave,
TO the Master above,
Who is mighty to save.
The clouds that have gathered,
But hide for while,
The purified spirit
And angelic smile.
Now walting 10 Get you
On the isht shining shore,
Eve writing TO meet you,
