As will be seen by communication
from DR.. A. w. Tracy, published else
where, we were in error in stating that
the late Louis Riel had visited Island
Pond. We were SO informed by a
number of our townsmen, hence the
publication of the item referred to.
The doctor comes to the defense of his
classlnate in such a manner that no
one can misunderstood him, and we
gladly give space for its insertion. We
publish also a communication from
Annie Gaines Thatcher which will be
read with interest, being descriptive of
her impressions of Island Pond and its
beautiful surrounding scenery.

A word to the many large boys and
young men of this immediate vicinity,
many of whom may perhaps have but
little to do for the ensuing three
months: Oar high school is in good
shape to give you an excellent oppor-
tunity to spend the winter months in
a pleasant and certainly profitable
manner. The next term of school,
under the management of Mr.. L. M.
JENNIE, will be thoroughly graded and
a class formed for those young people
who are taking their last term OF
schooling, and the Principal will take
special pains in teaching this class I'll
one can be forined) the practical part
of business arithmetic and book keep
ing, emitting all those subjects which
do not pertain to the ordinary trans
actions of u business man. In a word
the class will be taught only the bust
ness portions of the books. We ask
every young man this pertinent ques
ton: Would it not be time well spent
for you to join this class, and take a
review of those subjects, which may
not be clearly fixed in the mind, and
thus prepare yourself for larger
scope OF business, and wider sphere
of usefulness? Think the matter ovel
earnestly, and, if it meets with your
approval, be present the first day O.
school and confer with the teacher
who viii render you every possibl,
assistance.

On Wednesday evening, Nov. 1S,
the twenty-sixth anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Horace Hastings wedding
was duly celebrated ut their residence
by over one hundred friends. Mr.. F.
A. Brewer in behalf of the company
presented with appropriate remarks
an extension table, two large chairs,
a hanging lamp and many smaller
articles. Chas. Woodbury. and G. IL.
Tilton responded, for Horace is not a
public speaker by profession, but be
returned many thanks according to
his own conviction. Abner's present
ought not to be classed among the
smaller articles as it is no small affair
that will meet his demand during the
season of new cider, An excellent

During our recent collecting trip we
visited Lancaster, N. H., and while
there called upon Geo. II. Colby, the
enterprising bookseller. We were sur
prised to find so large and varied a
stock of books for sale in a town the
size of Lancaster. No book store in
Northern New England approaches it
in completeness. His stock embraces
fine line of standard works, and a
chosen array of current books by pop
ular writer's. Our readers who are in
want of books need not go to Boston
to saoe money in their purchases. We
are confident letter directed to Mr..
Colby will secure all needed informa-
ton and "bottom" quotations. Ian
caster people should, as no doubt they
do, manifest Interpretation of such
an enterprise by giving Mr.. Colby q
liberal patronage. Read his price list,
to be found on the first column of this
page.
