 The various constables of the town pre- scented their bonds of $5,0o0 each to the board of selectmen last night. They are: James N. Andrews and Herman E. Smith for David K. Andrews, Harmanus NJ. Welch for F. S. Andrew, Harry Farrell and Will liam O'Dennell for Bernard McNanus, F. s. Andrew for Frank N. Lovejoy, Ernest L. R. Thompson and John Clancy for Samuel Wiseman.
 A committee was appointed to consider the acceptanceof the bonds.
 William O'Donnell, who affixed his name to Bernard McManus' bond in conjunction with Harry Farrell, appeared before the board and asked that he be allowed to with draw his name, and it was voted, after he re- lated the circumstances by which he was in- veigled into putting his name on the bond, to let him do as requested. MT. ODonnell is an old man who lives down town, being possessed of considerable wealth. Mir. McManus went to him, and, folding the bond so that only the place for the signature could be seen, asked Mr. O'Donnell to do him favor by signing. Nr. O'Donnell did so, and not until told by someone afterward that he had become one of McManus' bondsmen for $5.000 did he know of the trickery that had been indulged in.
 Town Clerk Fred H. Brethauer presented bond for $1 ,000, signed by James E. Mo- Gam.
 Selectman Beecher remarked that he did not know who McGann was or whether he was worth $1,000.
 Selectman Klencke answered that he was a saloon keeper and that he was worth $1 ,0O0, but couldn't vouch whether he would be worth that tomorrow. Selectman Cooper asked MT. Klencke what he meant by his not having that amount in the future, whether he was of 8 speculative turn of mind.

 vacancy caused by the death of John Mo Donough. There were three applications Michael R. Enscoe, George R. Bill and Jona- than w. Pond. On the formal ballot MT. Bill was elected, receiving four out of the seven votes.
 A petition was filed asking that conserva- tor be placed over John Fl. Dillon. Colonel White and Selectmen Beecher and Klencke were appointed a committee to con- fer with the town and city improvement com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce on the matter of public parks. The following were appointed town phys1- clans for the ensuing year: Dr. E. l.. Bissell, Dr. Fred Belloss, Dr. Charles H. Crockett, Dr. w. H. Stowe, Dr. o. L. Fitch, Dr. o. E. Park, Dr. NJ. J. Adams, Dr. George F. Con- verse, Dr. H. B. Smith, Dr. G. T. Doolittle and Dr. J. Waldo Jewett. The salary of each was fixed at $125.
 Dr. M. 0. White was appointed almshouse physician at salary of $4o0. Just before adjournment Town Agent Todd brought up the question of appointing clerk in the town agents office. Selectman Beecher moved that the matter lay over till the next meeting. He said his reason was not to spoil the fun the Union was having with him. He was afraid if a clerk was appointed right away the Union would not be able to live. What Selectman Beecher referred to was that the Union has been crying loudly that he was the Republican who was going to vote for the retention of Mr. Clerkin as clerk "The Union has been hitting you pretty hard, " said Col. White, "with club that was stuffed for me D
