AT the town meeting called on the Sd
inst the citizens failed to carry a vote to
build a new town hall, but left it dis
cretionary with the selectnen how much,
with some limitation, should be used to
repair the old hall. They also reconsid-
cred the method of raising $4,000 for a
new school building in the village, and
voted to hire that or the necessary
amount for such building. So we are
to have the school building, but will not
tax the town for the necessary amount in
single year.
Robert E. Soule, son of Edward E.
Soule, ESQ.,, is seriously sick at the resi-
dence OF mis- father. He is member of
Bowdoin College, class '95, and has been
boarding at Brunswick the past term,
where he undoubtedly contracted typhoid
fever, this disease being prevalent there
and almost unknown in Freeport, except
as cases are imported from outside
towns. The prevalence of typhoid fe-
yer in centres Of learning in Maine is of
serious import. and will undoubtedly de-
termine the choice of q college outside of
Maine for some of our boys, unless there
are sanitary improvements made.
The spring term of the high school
began on the Sd inst. with large at.
tendance.
James Il. Leslie, who has been SO Sc
verely sick with pneumonia, is now i'm

The roads are unusually bad at the

deep most everywhere, but wheels as
yet do not break through the frost.

Tuesday April 4th was a peculiar com
bination of winter and summer weather
here. Nearly all of the morning sleety
cold rain fell covering everything with a
coat of ice. About noon it began to grow
warmer and before night the air was
heavily charged with electricity giving
due warning of the approaching thunder
storm but no one was hardly prepared
for the tempest which came on at about
seven O clock and lasted for nearly one
hour. Had there been heavy wind the
outlook would have been frightful. AS
it was the rain fell in torrents the flashes
of lightning were vivid while the claps
of thunder were prolonged and reverber-
ating from hill to hill and calling as it
almost seemed from the very earth, a re-
sponsive echo.
MI. George Fl. Merrill who has been
quite i'll is now recovering but was
obliged to be absent from his school for

CALLED HIM "oLp coooER."

A Humorous Incident from tho Llfo of
Gen. Taylor.
The general was q little careless in
dress and never wore complete regu-
lation suit except when imperative
duty compelled. He often had on some
homcspun material and broad
brimmcd straw hat. One evening at
Newnansvillc he was sitting in the tav-
crn Office with three brother officers,
all veterans of tho prairies and from
tiers, and all roughly dressed. On the
arrival of the eastern stage n sprightly
young officer, fresh from the military
academy, fine in dress and little
ovcrconfident of manner, appeared
upon the scene.
He glanced SUPERB iliously at the RUS
tic-loolSing men who sat talking and
smoking and then addressed the eldest,
Col. Taylor, for information:
"Well, old man, how are the Indians
now?"
81 believe, sir, they are giving con-
siderable trouble" replied Col Taylor.
"Oh, they arc, are thcy?" remarked
the oficcS, with assurance. "Well,
we'll fix matters soon. I'm an army
officer and on my way to take a hand
every fair, sir, understand, where
the Indians can keep quiet"
And SO on with pert questions from
the youthful officer and very respectful
answers from Taylor, who sturdily
kept up the imputed character without
betrayal
At last the young man grew gen.
crous.
'Comc. now, old codger, you and
your neighbors take something-have
drink with me-"
The officers rose and solemnly pledged
the bold young warrior.
A few days later ut Fort Dranc the
young officer was mortified and aston
ished, on the first inspection of his
company by tho senior officer, to see
in the full uniform Of colonel COM
ing straight toward him the old farm
CIR of the tavern. Col. Taylor smiled
when near him, and said, relectively:
"Come now, old codger."
The abashcd young man asked some
experienced officers what he should do.
They laughingly said:
"Oh, with Col. Taylor, simply moth
ing"
After day or so the colonel called
up the young officer, and, when he at-
tempted IN apology for his rudeness,
said:
"My young friend, you have had a
good lesson. Let me give you n piece
Of advice that I think may be of i'm
mensc advantage to yon: Never judge
n stranger by his clothes"
That was the end of the affair. Col.
Taylor never again alluded to it.

English and American Poor.

One marked difference between the
very poor in tho English cities and tho
corresponding class in American towns
is that tho latter buy their clothing Of
tailors and manufacturers, and, there
fore, get it new,while the English poor,
and particularly the English women of
low estate, prefer the cast-oR lncry Of
"tho quality" that is sold at the second
hand shops. The result Is that tho
American laborer nnd his wife make
better appearance in their cheap, but
simple and suitable, garments than tho
London navy or hnwlter with q shiny,
ill-fltting broadcloth and bis wife in
garish hat with broken feathers, and
questionable, not to say bcdragglsd,
skirts.
