Permit me, Mr.. Editor, before commenc-
ing another chapter of chronicles, to well
come you to the ranks of the large army of
men who are engaged in warfare Of vast
Importance, and whose weapon is 'the pen.
--mightier than the sword" am much
pleased with the proposed change in your
fourth page matter, and believe it will
result in great good to your readers. in
bringing out original matter, practical
in its character. In my humble capacity
shall hold myself willing and ready to oc-
cupy a small space when called upon.

menced and soon there will only be left

Thursday. and with his family came over
TO the Point and took part in giving a send
off to Lawyer Hutchinson, his most excel
lent wife and Mr.. Hatch the party was in
formal. full of music. good nature and fun
and will be long remembered by all who
were present. The party left ''nesisies'
next morning by boat with oft repeated
adieus till next season.
Mr.. Marsh fingered behind his friend
and companion, Mr.. Hatch, till Saturday
and then he too had to "tear himself away"
so the Young ladies say, leaving assurances
behind that another season,--if not before
would find him again in Lamoine.
