North Guilford Heard From-Fifteen Venerable People Eighty Years old in she North Society.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 NORTH GU1LFoRD, Feb. 20.-We noticed an item in the COURIER a short time ago from the North Haven correspondent stating that in that town of less than 1900 population there were thirty-four people who were eighty years old and over; and also if any other town with the same population could report like number of people of eighty years and over they would like to hear from it. In this, the North society, in the town of Guilford, with population that will not exceed 375, there are living fifteen people who have passed their eightieth birthday. The oldest one is Aleatha, widow of the late birthday the 9th of January last. The next in line is Amos Fowler, who will be eighty-nine the present year. All of these elderly people with the exception of four were born and always lived here, and most of them bid fair to live to celebrate their hundredth birthday. Onr neighboring town North Haven is the largest in population. I think we have the largest number of octoge- narians in proportion to our population. And will further say, to harmonizs with the above, that there has not been a death in this community since the 16th of September last. If there is place with corresponding population that can make so goo showing with persons eighty or over, please show up. There are twelve ice houses here, varying in storing eapactity from ten to two hun- dred tons each, and not ton of ice has been harvested yet, as none could be cut that was over six inches in thickness. There is plenty of time now before the 1st of July to fill them with twelve inch ice.
 The ladies of the Congregational society will give Martha Washington tea party in the chapel on Friday evening, February 22.

 betrayed her. The day for the marriage was set several times, but he kept postpon- ing it. Last Sunday night he was married to 8 Canadian girl named Miss Leahey, who came to this city to marry him. priest per- formed the ceremony
