Old Mr.. East, the father, grandfather
and great. grandfather Of the numerous
East family, arrived in the neighborhoed
a few days ago.
Claim-seekers are numerous. The last
to locate was Mr.. Hiram Fuller and fam.
lily, from Minnesota. He is on section
80, mile and a half from Gayton's Land

The river opened and cleared itself of
ice on the 9th inst, and it was done SO
quietly that unless it IS recorded no one
will know when the river opened this
year.
Everybody seems too busy just now to
talk up the news. Seeding and garden
ing are occupying cvcrybody's attention.
1t seems strange, too, TO see the old set
tiers along the river. who have been rails
ing cattle for so many years, going into
grain-raising and general farming. And
does it not also seem strange that il is
something they have learned from the
newcomers. Three or four years ago
they would have told you that it was 4
good stock country. but that they had no;
faith in it for raising grain. Vegetables
had long been raised successfully; but
they believed too little in grain to try it.

The Charlestown Local Circle of
the G. l.. S. G. met as usual on Fri
day, February 5, and Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather, about
one-half the members were present.
and these evinced enthusiasm enough
to have given spirit and interest to II
much smaller gathering.
On account of the serious illness of
the President, the Vice-Presidert
took the chair and after the reading
of the Secretary's report, called for
the first reading of the evening, a Sc
lection from the preface to Macaulay's
Lays of Ancient Rome, which was
well given.
One or two excuses were offered on
account of the press of outside bus
mess, which was accepted. Then
Robert Browning's beautiful poem of
"The Boy and the Angel was rem
dered to the pleasure of the audience,
after which questions were asked by
the Vice-President upon the reading
of the previous month, and freely
answered and discussed by the mem
bers of the Circle.
The business which followed caused
some lively discussion, but it was de-
termined to observe the next meeting
on February 26th, instead of Febru-
airy 10th, on which date the pro-
gramme will be prepared to comment
crate both Founders day and Long
fellows day.
The Circle adjourned until Friday,
February 26th at 1880, p. NJ.

heaviest snow of the season-about
fifteen inches in deptli-and cold
wave on Friday, during which the
thermometer dropped to from six to
twelve degrees below zero. 1t has
since been warm; the sleighing is
excellent, and is being heartily en-
joycd by all ages and sexes. B. &

A sleighing party went out from
Charlestown last Friday night, mile
or two in the country, and the ex-
periences they relate are varied and
amusing. A bank teller and a
prominent merchant, who knew
every step of the way" got lost;
another couple got upset and when
righted up again started off in the
wrong direction; and nearly all of the
party. from what we learn. became
adopts in the Silence of upsetting and
driving upon one runner. Walking
and wading in the snow became so
common to the boys that the novelty
of the thing wore off long before their
return home They spent an enjoy
able evening, however, and are doubt
less ready to start upon another jaunt
of the same kind.
