that it seems to US that the wayfaring
man, though fool, ought to be able to

the matter will be found in the proceed

reads as follows:

was also won by Senator, Ollie second,

creased the interest in the race, and
caused Senator's hackers to begin to
hedge, which they did by buying the
field. The fifth heat was prettity won
by Carrie Belle, Ollie second, and sena.

by Ollie and Carrie Belle, but the latter

The village meeting at the town hall
last Friday evening-called to see if the
village would recognize the new fire
company and choose a chief engineer of
the fire department-was what play-bil
writers would call a "roaring' farce.
The assemblage not only roared, but it
howled and yelled and stamped and
cheered John L. Buttolph, the moder-
sided. F. A. Bond moved that the ac-
ton of the trustees Gin recognizing the
new company and dividing the apparatus
and appliances, the steamer and the uni
forms excepted) be taken as the sense of
the meeting. a. 2. Upper, Esq, moved
that the motion be amended by striking
out the provision for dividing the hose
and apparatus. Remarks were made by
Messrs. Bond and Upper, G. w. Pinney
j. NJ. Slade, Esq, and Justus Cobb. Mr.
Bond accepted Mr.. Tupper's amendment
which was then put and declared lost
and the same action was taken, with the
same result, on the original motion. A
Z. Stapleton moved to adjourn; the mo
ton was lost. Then Mr.. Bond asked tina
a ballot be taken on the original mo
ton as amended and ballot was so ia
ken and resulted a for to 10 against tn,
proposition. Before the ballot wa
reached, however, the house was in sucl
confusion, despite the efforts of the mod
orator and Chief of Police Chapman
that not more than half those who vote,
had any clear Idea of what they were do
ing; SO that the result cannot be regard
ed as at all conclusive. Besides, thing
were so mixed before a vote was reache,
that many who did understand the ques
ton were satisfied that any action whicl
might be taken would be illegal and so d
not vote at all. Adjourned.
