residence to jackson Sackett for $3.50
Amos will move to the Ira Cobleigh

The Town Reports are little late in
getting to the hands of the printer,
but will be out in a few days. Job
work is booming with US just now,
and we hope our patrons who are
delayed little will have patience until
town meeting is over.
Insurance agent Mcfarland is max
ing a boom in life insurance. Those
who are thinking of this wise precau-
ton, and there should be many such,
had better call upon him. 1t is far
safer always to deal with the reliable
home agent than to be led away by
the Establishments of stranger.
Fred Keller has gone to Portland.
He started Monday morning with
that silk hat and if he got through to
st. Johnsbury with it it is all safe. But
the way Conductor Ranney's keen eye
beheld it when it got on board the
cars rendered the chances for it's safe
ty very doubtful. Ranney has as
much antipathy for stove-pipe hats as
the Californians have for the Chinese,
and he says The plug hat must &c"
especially Fred's.
Carroll Lilley and Fred Child went
to Albany Sunday, and started for
home Monday afternoon. The boys
had a pleasant time and were busily
engaged in talking over the event as
they logged along. So much were
they enrapt in conversation that the
matter Of driving was a secondary
affair, and not until both were upset
| and landed in a snow bank were they
brought to a realization of their sur
roundings. Carroll hung on to the
lines, but despite all his coaxing the
horse would not stop, and after being
dragged several rods the lines parted
and his horseship left him. Fred un-
wound himself from the robes and
enquired whats the matter?" There
they were several miles from home
find their team until they reached
Edgar Noyes', where the horse haC
turned into a barn. One took The
horse and the other followed on Il
Kickapoo Indians, and in this way
they entered the village. But as i
was dark they did not mind that
Little damage aside from the breaking
of cross bar was the result. Mex
time more attention will be paid t,
the driving.
The approaching Town Meeting thu
far gives promise of rather less thai
the usual amount of excitement. w
presume there are candidates for office
but if so, they are practicing Demo
cratic tactics and adopting the sti
hunt plan of operations. We SUP
pose that Town Clerk Noyes is a car
; didate for reelection and we hear {
no special opposition to him. Neigh
Z Dor Bliss still yearns to practic
e philanthrophy in looking after on
poor, and he will probably be re
e elected, although many think our poo
expenses are very large. We presum
Carroll Lilley will accept re-electio
as Constable and Collector, and if S
we do not know of anyone who ca
, get half as many votes as he car
We presume No. Hyde Park will, g
usual, bring forward their man for or
> of the Selectmen, and we understan
e Mr.. Maxfeld while not anxious for
reelection, is in the hands of b
e friends. We hear other names mel
s toned for the position of 1st Selec
man and at present it is hardly sa
d to say that Mr.. Maxfield will have
J. walk over. Concerning the 9th
!, officers in the list we hear absolute
nothing thus far. We believe Il
9 expenses are somewhat less than la
- year, and the amount of tax requir,
=, to be raised will be about 81 20
> the dollar, which is ten cents less TIL
last year.
