 A "town sleigh ride" comes off today, starting at o'clock, and sitting down to a supper at the Springs House at o'clock, followed by dancing. The invitation is a wide one, and the temptation to enjoy ment great one, the supper being abso. lutely sure to be good one, too. The present aspect of the weather is bad for the sleigh ride, but supper and dance pros- poets arerosy. P.S.-Postponed to Friday.
 The selectmen have ordered the mug zling or confinement of all dogs for pc riod. The immediate cause is the visit to the vicinity of snapping, strange acting dog, which passed throughthe village, bit ngseveral dogs. Withoutthis stimulus we may say that the prevalence of dogs at the present time Is alarming Nervous peo- pie, and some not especially nervous and timid, dislike to rub against dogs all along the walk. Grocers have to keep close watch of goods displayed iu front of their stores, and their customers have still eater interest in their careful oversight ven peacefully inclined big dog is apt pick up the grievance of small com anion and share in h,s prejudices against ! pEzker by. Never were dogs so numer- 1ous in Stafford as now, though the town clerks registry list does not keep pace with the cannes The public is heartily in sympathy with the move of the select men, especially in view of the immediate caI5se of action.
 We would emphasize the fact that the e. A. B. fair begins Monday evening, Feb. 2d, and continues during the week, Don't forget, or that it's object is & good public benefit. Let's give our memorial building scheme big push towards co1a, pletion.

 The M. B. Sunday school last Sunday passed the following sets of resolutions, which are self explanatory:
 All the world is making history; individu- sls, associations, states and nations. We read, imperfecfly, the history of creation in the looks; of ancient people, in ruins, broken marble or scanty manuscript. We, too, are making history, setting in motion forces for good or ill, which shall be felt through all tifne, out into the great beyond. So it is right ard expedient that we make our records with care, so that the future may profit by our success and take warning by our failures. slx years ago, under the providence of God, brother Alyarado Howsrd was called to the office of secretary and treasurer. With an earnest purpose, a willing heart, trained mind and ready hand, he set himself to work to devise and institute system of &C., counts and records, such as would answer every purpose of record and be a lasting credit to the school That his efforts have been crowned with success the records them selves are ample and convincing evidence,-- concise, comprehensive, reliable and availa- ble. MT. Howard has not only served us well, but, as increasing cares made it more and more impossible for him to give the time he desired to the work, he has trained ah able substitute, so that now the time has come when he feels he can no longer hold the posi- tion, he has, by his wise foresight, been able to leave the position with much less detriment to the school than would otherwise have re. suited. Therefore,
 Resolved-That we gratefully acknowledge Brother Towards efficient management, his accurate methods, his loving fidelity, and his wise foresight, which have won, for one al ways beloved and respected, warm place in our hearts and lasting one in our memories
 Whereas, our friend and brother Charles G. Ellis, was len years ago unanimously chosen to fill the position of superintendent in our Sunday school, and, though much against his inclination, and doubting his abil ity to fill this responsible position, he was induced to lay aside his personal feelings and yielded to the call of duty. Ten consecutive years of earnest, loving and faithful effort demonstrating the wisdom of the choice, have been crowned with the blessing of the Master in the bringing of many young souls to Him and in the upbuilding of christian character and have developed feeling of love and con fdence among officers, teachers and scholars which lead to his being the unanimous choice for this year. Because of MT. Ellis unselfsh and loving interest in the school he resigns this position, thinking that the work may be more ably carried forward in other hands therefore,
 Resolved-That we accept his resignation with deep regret, and shall long miss from his accustomed place one whose genial face and warm heart have been to us a source o1 encouragement and inspiration. Also,
