Although storms may roll about them,
our village Dads move on the even
tenor Of their way, regardless Of criti-
cism or public opinion. They did think
the correspondent for last weeks Mont
tor treated them with little 700 much
irreyerenee. but as the article has no
finger marks by which they can spot
the offender, and they don't consider
it worth their while trying 10 seek him
out, they leave time to wear off the irri-
tating effects of that article. Geo.
Cover has been dulyappointed Mar
shal, Street Commissioner, etc, at $50
per month; no one objects to the APP
pointment so far as his qualifications
are concerned. He is a good fellow,
competent, and responsible. But it's q
very open question whether it is the
province of the board to decide that he
ought to have the position on grounds
that the duties can't be performed for
less than $40 per month, after just as
we'll qualified and responsible men have
bid to do it for less. The weight of
public opinion seems to be dead set
against such decision. There is a
good deal of variance on the sidewalk
question The board is determined that
the more central walks shall be substan-
tial and safe, and it is to be hoped
will keep q stiff backbone ON that point.
At their direction the marshal has torn
up and thrown aside several sections
regarded as unsafe along West Spring
Street, but so far as that locality is con-
cerned, there is deadlock at this point
in the proceedings, between the officials
and property owners, which likely
won't be broken till the latter see fit to
do so. In the meantime promenadin@
out in that direction won't be very
inviting pastime in muddy weather.
Elsewhere the walks are being rapidly
put in passable shape. We pray the
good work may 60 vigorously on.
Times are dull, but walk about the
village shows that, Notwithstanding
good deal of enterprise is being dis
played in the way of building improve
ments As the finishing touches are
put to Farnham's residence property it
shows off very handsomely. Likewise
Pedicord's. Roland Wrights new
house, although small, is handsomely
finished off internally. 1t is oil finished
on the natural wood and is very credit
able to his skill aud good taste as q
workman. Mrs. Wayne's residence adj
dition is wellunder way and will double
the capacity of the house. The M. E.
Church looks cosey and beautiful with
its new wallpaper ceiling, Powers
new store front is in and is quite attrac-
tive compared with the old. Our little
burg shows evidence of healthy growth,
and has much in advantage of location
to favor its continued growth and pros
perity.
The Reading Circle met Friday even
ing at Philbrick's. Prof Woolcock
read DR.. Buckley's Letter, and Mrs.
Rogers and Miss Jennie Sims the clos.
ing chapters of s.Eyangeline.n Next
Friday evening the exercises will be
essentially of a Longfellow character,
mostly in Difference to the author of
r thatname, but also in consideration Of
its being the last evening for some time
that Prof. Woolcock Chefs a s'long
fellow, you know, will meet with the
circle. Prof. Woolcock, Miss Emma
f Philbrick, and Miss Lima Byerly will

works. MIR. Wilson will sing "The
Bridge, land the society willsing "The
