the hides.

his reponse.-Galveston NeaOs.
There is a mistake in the cur

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1885-10-08

Early last August something of n
stir was made in S. Londonderry in
reference to change in the post-oflice.
Tho SITTER kept its weather eye out
and its mouth shut and by this means,
along with two or three of our citizens,
sensed the situation, including the sun
day caucus. As no further disclosures
are reasonably expected it thinks prop
er TO give the thing Il little ventilation.
The intrigue, if ii may be honored by
such name, looked TO the appointment
of Henry Goddard us postmaster, and
the high contracting parties, it is olleg-
ed, were Hon. j. l.. Martin, Brattle-
boro's distinguished political tiXcr, and
NJ. ii. Goddard, Esq, Ludlow's well
known St. John-Dcmocrat. We give
the Goddard side of the story, as it
reaches us through reliable sources,
namely: He, Goddard, had not thought
of his father for the position, but had
endorsed Woods application, and the
first intimation he had of the matter
came from Montpelier, to the effect that
Martin had recommended his father,
to the powers that be, as lifelong
Democrat and suitable person for the
position. With, true tilial feelings he
at once became Interested, believing
that such q high (Dcndorsement would
secure his fathers appointment. He at
once came over and met Martin and
other parties, Il conference cnsuCd, on
Sunday Dand, Tuesday morning fol
lowing petitions who wrote itDw0s in
private circulation, praying the appoint
ment of Henry Goddard as postmaster.
This is a small part of this very pretty
story, large portion of it being left
for future reference. But now for the
other side. Martin positively denies
that he had anything to do whatever,
either directly or indirectly, i'll the at
tempt to foist upon the people Henry
Goddard for postmaster. So, for the
present we end as we began: a lie but
whose is it?

The great legislative reunion is in
session at Montpelier. If its members
are disposed TO moralize over their for
mer Legislative sins, weeping and a gen
cral wet time may be expected. But
this is not likely. 1t is more probable
that all the moisture of the occasion
will flow over the capital city'S thirty
open bars. We hope that the many
distinguished political fuglemen that
will be present will ascertain, beyond a
doubt, whether or no the st. Adams
ex-Gov. acould accept Edmunds scat
in the L. S. Senate.

Build Your own sidewalks. Do not
wait for the town to appropriate mon
cy for that purpose, least your hairmay
grow gray awaiting that event. Moth
ing adds more to tic beauty of resi-
dcncc thm to have a good dry walk in
front. Ii gives chcerfulness to the
home, adds comfort to the dWellcrs
therein, makes happy those who walk
for health or pleasure over the same.
In short il tells the stranger what kind
of a man the owner is.
Not long since while taking his rest
at his "Highland House" the writer
heard from the lips of a pleasure walk
or these words: "Well this is the best
sidewalk we have struck yet" Now
this was not an expensive walk. No
curb-stones as may be seen i'll other
parts of the village, but simply grass
edges with the right kind of gravel fill
ling and rolled with the roller. 1t pays
yOu to have a good sidewalk and it is
at the same time helping your neighbor.

vindlcates the Temperance Society.


Mr.. EEITor:-Some writerin the SIr-
TER of the oath ult., signing himself
"Reform,' asks certain questions about
the Sons of Temperance. In reply let
me say that it is no more the business of
the Sons of Temperance to prosecute
for drunkenness OF the traffic in alco-
hoic liquors than it is the business of
the different churches, or of any other
organization for moral or religious i'm
provcment. The Sons of Temperance
were organized to inculcate temperance
principals, and TO diilnsc temperance
influence in society, more especially a.
mong its Younger members. 1t would
be rs appropriate to ask "What are the
churches about? Why don't they wake
up and prosecute for each aud every
crime committed?'
The opportunity is open for Re
form" to prosecute for the violation of
the liduor law, and perhaps if he does
more and says less his influence for good
will be greater. Certain it is that the
good of society demands prosecution
for violation of law and order, and
"Rcform" can earn his right to the
name by instituting such prosecution.
