GOOD TENIPLAR ITEMS.

The credit of instituting the first
lodge since the Grand Lodge, belongs
to the Rev. E. Folsom of Newport,
who organized a good lodge at East
Albany, Feb. 6, 1855, John L. Kelly,
5 L. d.
Frank Plumley, Esq, G. w. c. T.,
attended and spoke at the meeting of
Franklin County Lodge of Good Tenn
plars' Union held at Richford, Feb. a..
This meeting was enthusiastic and
showed that Good Templary is grow
ing in that county. Their report
shows a net gain of over one hundred
and forty in that district during the
last three months.
&. w. G. T., Plumley, visited st.
Paul Lodge of Brattleboro Monday,
the 9th, and Waverly Lodge of Will
mington the 10th, and found in both
places excellent lodges doing good
work in their respective communities.
There is good reason to hope that the
order will extend into other towns in
Windham County this year.
Clyde Lodge of Derby bids fair to
be the banner lodge of the State, hav-
ing made net gain during the last
quarter of thirty seven, q larger gain
than that made by any other lodge yet
reported.
Norfolk Lodge, No. II, of East Fair
field has done good work during the
last quarter, having made a net gein
Of thirteen. This is q good lodge, and
is doing good in the community, we
have no doubt.
Lakeside Lodge, No. 11S, is a lodge
we always hear good reports from, and
the past quarter has been no excep-
ton to the rule, they having made a
net gain of eight, and have kept a
good interest and good attendance.
The annual Festival of Woodstock
Lodge, l. o. G. t., will bc held at the
Town Hall on the evening of March 6,
1885. 1t will consist of masquerade,
drama and supper. These Festivals
have always been very interesting and
we'll supported. The lodge now has
226 members, and since the burning
of the "Sons of Temperance Hall, has
occupied the Mellish hall.
If Lodge Deputies or Secretaries of
lodges will furnish any items of inter-
est to the order to the Grand Worthy
Sec, they will be published in nearly
all the State papers, and will furnish
interesting matter to Good Templars
everywhere.

In reference to the item in our last
issue referring to the taxes levied Oh
the Grand Trunk in Maine, we notice
that the Judiciary Committee of the
Legislature have de cided to report adj
versely on the proposition for the
State to abolish the tax annually as.
sessed upon the Grand Trunk Railroad
of one-half per cent CD the gross trans
portation receipts of the road in Maine.
1t is argued that the Governor and
Council have 10 right to assess such a
tax, on account of a provision in the
charter, under which that portion of
the road from Portland to Island was
built, which exempted the corporation
from all but municipal taxation. The
road has never paid the tax assessed
upon its receipts SINCE 1881, and the
matter is now in court for u settlement

With reference to the communica-

of which acknowledgement was made
in our last issue, we would say that,
having made some inquiries into the
matter, we think it best to decline it's
publication, it not being adapted to
our columns. No possible good can
come from discussion of such ma
ture, but on the contrary, it would
engender ill will and strife in any and
every community. Each side has ven
tilated its own views on the subject,
consequently no injustice can be done
by our refusing further space to dis
cuss matter so purely personality.

boards on hand, but over one hundred
thousand fell 1t prey to the flames.
The total loss is estimated at about
$4,000; insurance about $4,000. The
whole community extend sympathy to
those who will suffer most by this
great loss, and regard it as a public
calamity. OF its origin, your CORE

STATE TAXES oP1SS5. State Treas
urer Dubois has sentout the following
circular to the Selectmen OF the va
rious towns:
West Randolph, Vt, Feb. 0, 1885
To SELECTAIEN.
GentIemen; BY Act No. of the laws
of 1884. State tax of ten cents was
assessed on the grand list of 1885, pay
able before the first day of January,
1886.
Warrants for the collection of the
tax will be issued from this Office by
the first day of November. Section
8 of the act named reads as follows
THE officers to whom such war
rants are transmitted, may forthwith,
upon receiving such warrants, make
out tax bills for the collection of such
tax, and place the same in the hands
of the proper officers for collection, or
may draw an order on the town treas
ury for the amount of the tax, or may
borrow the amount on the credit of
the town."
The amount to be called for is so
small it would seem unnecessary to
make out special tax bills for it's col
lection, and it is suggested that each
town avail itself of the provisions of
the act, and provide for its payment
when called for, direct from the treas
ury, by including in the amount raised
for town purposes at their coming
March meeting enough to cover the
State tax. Very respectfully,
