Wedding Anniversary.

Mr.. Collins r. Griswold and Miss
Lucina Mellen were married by Rev.
j. S. Goodall, March 26, 1866.
Twenty-Five years having rolled away
their friends concluded to make them
neighborly call and extend their
congratulations. A brother of Mr..
G. had quietly notified distant rela-
tives of the coming event and a gen.
eral invitation was extended to all
who felt an interest in the matter.
The result was pleasant and, con-
sidering the travelling, large COM
pany gathered at their home on the
mountain side, bearing with them
kind messages and other tangible evil
dences of their esteem.
The company were duly sweetened,
or we might say were "sugared off"
in addition to the usual refreshments
of such occasions and then came the
"tug of war; the presentation and re-
ception of the gifts. There was lit
tie speech by the pastor, Mr.. Fuller,
who in behalf of the company presen-
ted the following gifts: A pair of
nice wooden blankets, half dozen solid
silver tea spoons, one dozen silver
knives, handsome hanging lamp, a
pretty fancy work basket and several
other articles of woman's handiwork
these from friends in this vicinity.
From Mrs. Bisbee who lives in the
West, sister of Mr.. Griswold, a
nice oak, cushioned rocker, and to
cap the climax, check for $50 from
Henry Sherwin, Esq, Cleveland,
o., a cousin of Mr.. Griswold. Mr..
Griswold made an appropriate re-
Spouse and called upon Dea. f. F.
Rugg who made one of his pleasant
and pertinent addresses. The whole
affair passed off in satisfactory man
ner, and will leave pleasant memories
for the worthy couple.
Collins Griswold is the son of Lu-
cius and Cynthia (Batchelder) Girls
void and came to this town from
Chester more than thirty years ago.
His father bought the farm in North
Derry where his mother now lives
and where his father died about eleven
months after the purchase. The
mother afterwards married Chandler
Eddy. Mrs. Griswold is the daugh-
ter of Moses and Susan (Jaquith)
Mellen and lived in Winhall. r.

A business Boom.

That's what it looks like for So.
Londonderry, That is the indications
are more pointed than they have been
for several years, There are fewer
vacant tenements than there has been
for five years, Every one is employed
or has an engagement for the season.
Our merchants are stocking up large
ly and are doiny healthy business,
while the mechanics are all full Of
work. The pulp mill will run through
out the season with some six or eight
hands, but the busy place will be at
THE FARNUM MILL.
Mr.. Farnum is now running his
shingle machine night and day and
has already sawed some 100000.
This will run for week or ten days
longer, when it will be taken out and
back saw will take its place. This
will be run by o. S. Abbott who
hires the power. Mr.. Abbott has
between three and four hundred cords
of hard wood to be worked into backs.
In the mean while Mr. Farnum will
be running his saw mill, having some
5000 spruce logs and several thous-
and hemlocks logs to be made into
boards; besides these he will saw
5000 spruce logs for J. J. Hapgood
& Co. of Peru. This mill for sever
al months will make employment for
about twenty men, and will do more
business than it ever has done. AL
together the business outlook is good.

Last wesk's Argus contains the fol-
lowing in reference to Mrs. LYMAN
Harrington, whose husband formerly
resided in this village:
The horse that Mrs. l.. A. Har-
rlngton started with from Brattleboro
to drive to South Hampton, Mass,
got away from her near East Hamp-
ton while she was walking, because
of the poor sleighing, ran upon rail-
road dry bridge and was struck by a
locomotive and killed.
F. G. Hosley of Jamaica is about
establishing a meat market in the no.
tel basement, and in connection there
with ''poolroom," the billiard table
having already arrived. This is a
strange combination, indeed, and one
That we do not believe will work.
While our people would welcome and
patronize a well kept meatmarket,
they will not for the sake of having
one, countenance "poolroom," and
the SITTER will lose it's guess if the
better class do not boycott both. Fur
Their, we believe that if this abomina-
ton is set up in our midst, it will be
the duty of all good citizens, male and
female, to take hold of the matter in
dead earnest and never let up until
all legal means are taken to suppress
it.
We already have demoralizing in
huences for our young men that are
disgraceful and that is a matter of
wonderment to many, that property
owners permit, but this last effort in
that direction ought to be the straw
to break the demoralizing camels
back. What say you good people of
So. Londonderry, shall we rise up in
our might and throttle these monsters
that would undermine our social fab.
rlc and make our moral atmosphere 9
stencil to honest law-abiding citizens
1t is with us to say. We can sit su.
pinely by and see these influences
grow up in our midst and become part
