The people at the lower part of the
town have always felt the disadvantage
of being at such distance from the
post office, and lately a branch office has
been established near the Grand Trunk
depot; the office is called Intervale, and
j. S. True is the postmaster. This cam

those families, who have been obliged to
90 from two to five miles to the lower

Charles Ayers house, is intending soon

The Republicans are justly indignant
that there should be weakened and
irregular partisans enough in town to
defeat the election of second selectman
at the polls last Monday. DR.. John A.
Fellows, who was the target at which
the Democrats fired their stickers, is an
intelligent, consistent and reliable Re-
publican, and should command the en-
tire ST. ength of his party at the meeting
next Monday to fill the vacancy in the
board of selectmen.
