 NORTH COVENTRY.
 Two young men, giving their names as John Sheehan and James OLoughlin, aud claiming to come from Rockville, passed through here last Thursday. They Hinsulted nearly every one they met, and stopped at houses and demanded cider and something to eat, and when refused used insulting language and threats. At Joshua Bailey 's--a man over 80 years old-they used threats, and when told that they would be arrested If they did not leave, they threatened to kill Mir. K, struck him with a stick, and picked up stones tol frghten him. They were arrested and brought before Justice Brewster, who sent them up to Holland for 30 days. It is well they were not 21 years old. .s gx m ROCKVILLE. . The annual meeting of the Holland County Agricultural Society was continued at the Henry building on Monday. The auditors made their report, which showed the receipts were less than 8, 900, that some $70O had been expended in perma- nent improvements on the grounds, and that by borrowing $1, 200, all premiums, back bills and the Improvements made this year would be paid for. They recom- mended that the affairs of the society be conducted in a more business-like manner. Treasurer West stated that he was unable to attend the last meeting and did not SUD- pose he would be so severely criticised by the society, as he had worked hard for their interests. It was voted that com mittee of i've be appointed by the execu- tive cemmitteeat at their meeting next sum- mer to have charge of the arrangements for the fair, with the officers. A commit tee was appointed to attend the state grange meeting and arrange for an exhibi- tion by the granges at the next fair.
 The banquet given by the Salvation army at the Rockville hall, Saturday even- ing, was well attended and good supper was furnished. The proceeds will go to- ward building their barracks.
