TOWNSHEND.

Mr.. Mitchell met with an accident
last Friday, falling from staging
while at work on his new house. Fortu-
nately no bones were broken, but his i'll
juries were sufficient to cause him to
walk lamely for several days.
Our village suffered with the neigh
boring towns last week, by the invasion
of the wandering arabs. These beggars
presented disgusting sight, as they
tramped through our street, leading
bears and forlorn looking horses. Many
suggested that the authorities cause
their arrest, but the more sober minded
thought best to let them have their per-
Torrance and leave. A feeling of re-
lief was felt when they were Oh their
way south and well out of town.
Mr.. Smith, a native of Townshend,
has been visiting the scene of his boy
hood days. He is at present clerk i'll
departmental service at Washington.
Last winter complaint was made of
the boys, about our streets acting rude
ly. We are glad to note that good be-
havior prevails now. Our youths seem
gentlemanly, and many show decided
improvement III manners. May there
be in the future no chance to complain
The county fair was largely attended
by our people, many going both days
Tow nshend took many prizes, perhaps
more than her share. We had special
fine representative in the cattle line and
carried off the prize for town teams.
The SITTER seems to be growing in
popular favor, and now finds its way
into many of the homes Of our villagers
and farmers.
A notice was posted the other day to
the effect that the boy who lost a trump,
ct, while stealing melons, could have
his property by calling for it. AT last
accounts the boy had not put in his ap.
pearance to claim the lost article.
A special town meeting is called fol
next Saturday, the main object OF
which is to see if the town will grant
the Cong. society permission to fit III
the room underneath their church, use
the same and put in furnaces. Tho
town owns the room which at present j:
used to transact town business in. w
hope some day to have town house
like other communities of the SAINT
size as ours.

THE BrsINESs END.

This has nothing to do with the Git
tie busy bee" but with the busy end of
this village, which seems, just now to
be in the neighborhood of the shops on
lower main street. First there is
Fosters
furniture store, so well filled with
choice articles in that line, and the pro-
prietor and his help, varnish brush i'll
hand, Sticking up everything that comes
to hand. Next is the shop of
Mr.. SILAs WHITMAN.
"Uncle Mike" always has something to
do, and always does it well. Up stairs
you will find large and pleasant paint
hall with
II. ID. TYLER,
unexcelled as knight of the brush.
Here you will see sign forty-two feet
long that will grace the new block and
announce the business of F. Winches-
ter. (Mr. Winchester is constant adj
vcrtiscr in the SIFTER.) And there
stands
THE "SMITIY'
and valiant man is he of the hammer
and tongs. He is constantly, making,
building or repairing. lie will put
anything in order for you from peck
ct time piece to Il steam engine, and it
goes without saying that you can't get
Il better hand to do the work. Now
step into the old carriage shop, that has
welcomed the incoming and mourned
the outgoing of many firm, and see
ST. ONCE IL JOSsELYN.
Here YOU can bask in the smiles of Sey-
mour and listen to the chatter of the
saint. These gentleman continue the
old business, and you can get car
riagc made OF shaft spliced and you
will always find them boiling around at
something. A few feet lower is the
shop of
PIERCE & STURGEss,
and if you can get in by the waiting a
gents you will find shop full of help,
turning out Gem folding tables, a hun
dred day, for Messrs. Hart & Whit.
man. This is patent light headquarters.
and the proprietors manage to turn out
a deal of work. Industry and thrift
mark the ''busy end'' and make it con,
spicuous just now. Long may she
wave.

"Stingeth like an ADDER"

You are not going to &c a temper
ance homily, but brief account of n
singing adder, something not very
common, to say the least, in Vermont.
This one was killed by Mr.. Leonard
Simonds, of Windham a short time
since. 1t measured 3 it., 6 in, in length
and about 3 in. in circumference. Its
distinguishing feature was its nearly IL
inform size until within in. of the end
of its tail when it suddenly dropped and
very quickly reached the dimensions of
Il pipe stem. The sting was located in
the end of the tail and could be protru-
dcd an inch. Mr.. John Farnsworth, to
whom we are indebted for this descrip-
ton says it was very peculiar snake,
and one like it he never saw before.

He thinks he can run newspaper. FL
