He was in Burlington last week tc
attend a special meeting OF the Maple
Sugar Association, which was called
together to take action in regard tc
selling maple goods at the Worlds
Fair. The proposed forming of a
stock company in the Association fol
that purpose does not meet with gen.

demands made by the fair managers
For right down buslness-like slug,
ging match, the game of ball between
the Academy nine and the Waterville
Hayseeds at that place on Saturday
afternoon would seem to take first
premium. The game was so short
(only about four hours) and the runs
by the Academies so few (only about
35), that there was some talk of re-
funding the money to the multitude
occupying the grand stand. AL
though wearing the victor's smile the
boys looked very weary when they
returned. IT they get rested trip to
st. Johnsbury is threatened for next
Saturday.
Tickets for the entertainment under
the auspices of the Academy gradu-
ates, which occurs at town hall next
Tuesday evening, will be on sale at
Hall & Cheney's. Of the reader who
is to appear, the Lewiston, Me-, Jour
nal says: Mrs. Edgerly is possess
led ofahandant graeea AID refinement.
She has a voice of wide range and
much sweetness and strength, music
ally mOdulated and marvelously in
MIGRATING to hear. Her manner has
a carrying power in keeping with her
moods. We have heard few readers
of equal attachments and accom-
! plishments."
Twas too much to ask, too much
to grant; the very preposterousness
of the request seemed fairly bristling
with gall To think that the major
ity of our merchants and their clerks,
with a bashful reluctance, timidly
asked for a whole two and a half
hours in "a short paltry week, in
which they might sniff the mountain
air and gambOl, lamb-like, over vale
and hill, with no thoughts of calico
or Goldfish, does seem fluff " in an
enlightened community. But this is
case where the minority rules, and
as consequence the Thursday clos
ing scheme has gone to smash. The
business places will he open to-mor-
row night.
The money in the treasury of the
Improvement Association is to be
expended in advertising the advan=
tages offered by our Furnishing vii
lage as place to locate manufactur-
ing enterprises, a place of residence,
place to spend the summer, or a
place in which to educate your child
rem whether residents or not With
this end in view an advertisement has
been planned for the back of envel-
opes, and the work will be done at
this office. All our business men and
citizens generally having a quantity
of envelopes may have the advertise
ment imprinted free of charge if they
will bring them in with name and
number of envelopes attached. The
printing is paid for by the treasurer
of the Improvement Association and
costs you nothing. Mr., Dwinell, Hall
& Cheney and W. H. Robinson, our
stationery dealers, will undoubtedly
have the printed envelopes for sale at
the regular price of those not printed,
The Current Topic Club in it's trip
to Hyde Park last Wednesday even
ing scored an unqualified success in
every particular. The ladies were
conducted by Gov. Page through his
handsome house, now nearing COM
pletion, and were Hospitality received
and entertained by Landlord Keller,
who furnished a delightful spread,
the interviewing of which was follow
ed by remarks by the members in re-
