 STAFFORD.
 Mrs Rebecca Page this week goes to Providence, where she will spend the winter with her daughter, Mrs. B. D. Field.
 W. E. Demond and Albert E. Con- verse are the purchasers of the old Springs House building. They have already be- :. gan to tear it down, and advertise to sell from 1t, lumber, kindling wood, etc., or to put up barns, sheds, &c.. for those who wish. The purchase includes bed room suits, crockery, ranges, piano, carpets, and these are on sale, and will be until cleaned out, which, judging by the lively sale, will be very soon. The plan of an auction sale has been abandoned. There yet remain few bedstead springs, chairs, tables, bureaus, commOdes, wood stoves, etc., that will no doubt go very cheaply. Such is the beginning of the end of the old building and the begin ming of the coming of the new hotel so much desired.
 A. o. U. w. meets this evening ; Ionic Lodge, F. A. M., next Tuesday evening; Orient Chapter, R. A. M., next Wednesday evening.
 In an advertising column will be found the articles of association of the Stafford Springs Hotel Company, with names of the stockholders, etc. The organization is further made by choice of Christopher Allen to be president, and w. H. Smith treasurer. A building committee is also chosen consisting of B. c. Pinney, W. H. Cooley and w. H. Smith. The list of stockholders is locally one of the proudest trolls of honor' that The Press has for some time published. It is to be regretted that larger au- audience did not turn out to encourage the bringing of such play as 'Jane" to Stafford. An effort is being made to fur nicb fnr 0f superior grade of plays, and so far bad weather or some other cause mars the success. The weather was all right last Wednesday evening, but probably engros- ment in work of preparation for Thanks giving and the absence of many, together with the many attractions of the St. Ed wards Kirmess, badly affected the attend ance. Those who did patronize the show saw fine comedy and good acting,
 We have received a copy of the plans of the new Y. M. c. A. building at Nal den, Mass, the scheme for building of which Col. c. l.. Dean has been an active promoter, and he is also a member of the building committee. There have been few schemes of like nature in that city with which this progressive citizen is not identified, the fine new hospital, lately built, being an instance. The new build ing will be an architectural ornament to the city, and is most admirably planned for it's uses. The cost will be about $50,0O0, and the site and it's preparation causes an additional expense of $2O, ,OOO. It is in the business center of the city, and the lower floor is planned for stores. Col. Dean was on Tuesday, at the Maiden city election, elected alderman by 176 majority, the winning candidate for may or having but 119 in that ward.
