We publish on our first page this
week, by request, the sermon recently
preached by Rev. Mr.. Ward to young
ladies. Those who heard it will be
pleased to read it in print, while
others will doubtless embrace this
opportunity to peruse it. Of course
with such a topic the sermon could
not be otherwise than excellent.

became frightened at a train Satur-

The S4th birthday of our honored
tOwnsman, Abel Putnam, was OBJ
served by a family gathering on the
old home farm, now occupied by his
son Robert, last Friday. All thesur-
viving children, with their husbands
and wives, and all the grandchildren
e~Xcepttwo, were present. Other friends
were also present. The occasion was
a very happy one, and with the large
circle of relatives and friends we Join

aid, gleefully adds the symbolic let
tiers, H. L., which is high license. As
q high license Democrat we imagine
Neighbor Fitch will be poor success.
We know of no more ultra type of a
Prohibitionist Republican, nor can
we at present think of any man who
will feel more grossly insulted by

DR.. Hubbell is with US this week and
is meeting with an unusual degree of
success in his professional work in the
adjustment of spectacles, es~peciallyso
in the numerous complicated cases,
such as we have been in the habit of
thinking must visit Boston or New
York to be successfully treated. His
past weeks work in Morrisville has
been specially successful with that
class of cases, that is, those that are
most difficult as well as all others.
His success seems to be fully assured
in this county. His ability is not
questioned by the best physicians and
occulists, by whom he is fully en-
dorsed. He certainly gets the pat
ronage wherever he goes. He visits
Johnson next week andi is at his home
in Wolcott the last week of every
month.
