Last Saturday Mrs. Sarah Hicks gave
a very pleasant afternoon party in honor
O her niece, Miss Agnes NJ. Eddy of
Hoosick Falls, it being her eighteenth
birthday.
A correspondent writes us complaining
of Sunday ball playing in the Punch
Bowr' and on the fair ground, and also
that certain young man purchased and
caused to be brought to town quantity
of liquor, furnishing it to others and
thus breaking the law. We have no
question that it would be much better
for the young men to be at church than
playing ball, besides having a better
appearance for the town. In regard to
the liquor business if complaint is made
to the proper officer and proof furnished
we have no doubt it will be looked into.

The summer business In Manchester
is better so far than last year. Since the
first of July there have been more guests
at the Equinox House and more outside
than last year, and the prospect is good
for the remainder of the season. 1t is a
fact that Manchester is growing in popu-
larity as a summer resort, and many
more cottages could be rented at a good
price if they were to be had. A man
with money to spare could put it to a
profitable use by erecting cottages to
rent.
