liberal and magnanimous terms OF surrender, "

Mr.. Cleveland has made bad break in his
line of generally good appointments in his
selections of men to fill important revenue
Offices in Massachusetts,, Maine and Connecti-
cut. Last week he appointed Eben F. Pills
bury, late of Maine, TO be collector of in
ternal revenue for the third Massachusetts,
district, and Charles H. Chase and Alexander
Troup for the districts of Maine and Con
neotieut respectively. During the war Pills
bury was a oopperhead obstruotionist, but he
has been best known as the legal adviser of
the notorious Democratic returning board of
1879 80 which tried to steal the vote of Maine
in the contested election case of that exciting
period, and which only failed through the
firm and patriotic course pursued by Gov.
chamberlain. Pillsbury left the state soon
after, and now he has been honored by an
appointment to the third Office in the Presi.
dents gift in Massachusetts. Chase, who is
appointed to a similar office in Maine, was a
member Of the returning board above refer
red to and one of the leading conspirators in
the attempt to steal the state. Troup, the
Connecticut appointee, is labor and green
back agitator and has been one of Buffers
followers. Viewed from bourbon Demo.
cratic standpoint these appointments are all
right They are simply rewards worthily be-
slowed for the worst kind of political work
faithfully done. But the better class of Dem
oerats and the Independents are ehagrined
that they have been made, and have entered
an earnest protest against them. With the
Independents the trouble is not 30 mueb that
the appointments are bad as that they are di.

GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRATION.

GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRATION.
The Esd Of April was marked by one of
the hsppiest social gatherings that have ever
taken place in this town. The occasion was
the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram Chase, where, notwith-
standing the almost impossible conditions of
the roads, over 100 of their friends and neigh
bors assembled at their home aud proceeded
to enjoy themselves in the free and unosteu-
tious manner that has ever marked the en-
tertainment of guests by Mr.. and Mrs Chase,
After a bOuntiful supper the people were
called together by Mr.. Elijah Allen OF Whit
ingham and prayer offered by Rev. Mr.
Fowler of Halifax, after which poems were
read composed by Miss Martha French, Mrs
Royal Chase, and Mrs. Thomas Fowler all
of Nottingham. Judge Obed Hall of STAN.
ford, a brother of Mrs. Chase, in a very
graceful and appropriate manner presented
Mr.. Chase with gold headed cane and an
easy chair, and Mrs. Chase with a silver cake
basket, gold lined, and a patent rocking
chair also two hasssOcks and several other
articles of lesser value. 1t Is 10 be remarked
that Mr.. aud Mrs. Chase have during the en-
tire fifty years Of their married life lived in
the same house, and on the same farm, aud
have passed so quiet and even a course and
dealt so justly with all, that now in their de.
clining years they have the universal respect
OF ALL which grows stronger as you approach
their distinguishing most loved and respect
ed by their nearest neighbors.

Affairs on the Isthmus are in a muddle at
present. so far as the operations of our forces
are concerned. Last week it was announced
that Admiral Jouett had taken possession of
Panama as necessary measure for keeping
the transit across the Isthmus open, while
early this week he telegraphed that he had
Withdrawn the troops from the city on the as
surance of the ''locsl government" that
American interests would be protected and
no more barricades be built in the streets.
Such an action is practical recognition of
the rebel leader Aizpuru, and the question to
be answered is how the Admiral could accept
any pledges from him, or why, if it was right
for him to occupy the city in the first place,
he should or could surrender it to any but the
rightful Colombian authorities "A despatch
received yesterday says that at a meeting of
the consular corps held at Panama Wednes-
day afternoon, in conjunction with Admiral
Jouett and the contending powers, basis of
peace was arranged under which the rebel
Aizpuru surrenders unconditiona4ly and the
city will remain under military government
until the state government can be reorgan-
lied. All political offenders will receive full
pardon, excepting those implicated in the
burning of Colon. These will be tried as
criminals

should be done at the village meeting is to
bring the matter up and pass resolution IN
structinq them TO act promptly and efficient
ly in this matter, 80 that they may under
stand, and the property holders may under
stand, what is ex pected Of them and that these
officers have the village behind them in what
ever action they may take. In this respect
the new time for holding the annual village
meeting is a most favorable one.
Another matter 10 which our attention bas
been called is the fact that the village should
vote at this meeting to make a beginning
toward putting in ERE hydrants IN connection
with Crowell's water works.

To Make Arbor-Day ofReal value

from the Springfield Republican,
The Nermonters are manifegting a genuine
enthusiasm over their first Arbor Day, which
Gov. Piugree has proclaimed for MAY l. 1t
must be observed, however, that the enthusi
ssm of cities and villages, while desirable
and praiseworthy, is apt to end with the sbad
ing of streets and adornment of commons,
whereas in the country the great need is of
general reforesting of stripped lands which
now, under the wastefu destruction of wood
land, are allowed to lapse into mere scrubby
thickets, with no replacement of the great
trees of which they have been despoiled.
The farmers must be got to planting trees in
their mountain lots before Arbor Day is OF
real value to the commonwealth in general
We need the same impulse in Massachusetts

The decision of the United States supreme
court affirming the constitutionality of the
Edmunds law, which keeps Mormons out of
the jury-box by making belief in the right.
fulness of polygamy aground for the peremp-
tory challenge of jurors, is proving to be the
worst blow yet for Mormonism. Several
prominent polygamists, who have been con.
vioted by homogeneous juries, will, under
the terms of this decision, be obliged to serve
term in the penitentisry, while the Federal
authorities feel their hands greatly strength
ened by it and fearless grand juries are in
dieting eminent Mormons and fearless petit
juries are trying and convicting them
Among those recently arrested are bishop
and the nephew of 10 Smith, the founder OF
the 30 called church. The president of the
Mormon hierarchy declares that "reign OF
terror prevails, and the tone of his remarks
indicates that the reign of terror has reached
him.

The Third Assistant Postmaster General
has been trying to fnd out what has been the
effect upon the postal revenues of the reduc-
ton Of letter postage from 3 to 2 cents. The
revenue for the first ~ months of the two
cent rate was 81, 476, 500 less than the depart
ment estimate of the revenue for the same
period with three cent rate, but taking ell
the circumstances into account, including the
general business depression, the conclusion is
reached that the actual loss was considerably
less than this sum. The sale of postal cards
fell of at the rate of 1876 per cent, or to a
total amount of SO, O34, 2S7 cards during the
year. Mr.. Hszen, the officer who made this
estimate, places the loss to be caused in the
next fiscal year by the reduction of the rate
on second class matter at 81 900, 600. He is
satisfied that the increase of the unit OF
weight for letters TO one ounce will prove
beneficial to the department as a revenue
measure"

The work of Mormon PROSECUTING has gone
on steadily in Tennessee, as well as in most OF
the Southern states, in spite of the fate of
the two Mormon elders whom a mob in a
Tennessee town shot last fall, and the head
quarters of the church in the South has still
been retained at Chattanooga. Missionary
work in Tennessee will be likely to come to
an end now, however, since the Legislature of
the state has passed a law, which is now in
force, ito define and punish the crime of
teaching polygamous doctrines and principles
or persuading persons to embrace them" 1t
forbids any person to teach to others 'the
doctrines of polygamy, or to induce another
to embrace polygamy," or to emigrate to an
other part of the country for the purpose of
practicing polygamy. The penalty is fine
or imprisonment, or both, the fine not to ex-
coed $500 and the imprisonment not to ex-
coed two years at hard labor.
