BELONGING TO THE DARK ACES.

It is high time for sober citizens to pause and consider.
 Where are we at?
 Is this some newly settled mining town where mob.law reigns supreme, and where an honest man dare not abide by the dictates of his own conscience?
 The burning in effigy, Monday night, of a public official who did his duty as he understood It, was disgrace to the fair name of historic Newtown. Such deeds might be applauded in some wild-western mining gulch, but in Newtown, never.
 Have we men (Heaven save the mark) in our midst who would stand by and urge some tool on to an act like this?
 The attempt to stir up race prejudice or to make political capital out of the re cent trial is most contemptible.
 And whoever Is responsible for the lawless act of Monday night will not ere. ate public sentiment in their favor, or bring honor upon their own heads.
 The burning in ef1igy of the justice will not injure MT Camp so much as the parties who are responsible for it. Are the perpetrators of this little joke willing to be responsible for their action? If so let them come forward and have their names published.
 Such an affair as this will work injury to our town. Newtown has been grow ing in popular favor as a summer resort, and we want no spirit of incendiarism to stay her progress forward in this respect.
 The man who would instigate such an act as that of Monday night is moral coward, cur who bites at your heels, a villain who plunges the dagger in the dark, wretch devoid of all conscience. May God forbid that Newtown contains many such specimens.

A BIRTHDAY ANNIvERsARY.


 A gathering on January 24 at the house of Stephen Warehouse was en- joyed, the occasion being his 10th anni- versary. It was a perfect surprise. About 50 of his neighbors and friends as- sembled in breathless attitude, awaiting his presence. His brother, H. H. More house, went to MT Hurlburt's store and says, "Have you sick horse? heard 8 good deal of noise as I came along" He started, opened the door in haste for his lantern to go to the barn, when one of the party says, Hello, where are you going?" He looked up and saw a room full and said, s.I'm sold" On further in vestigation he found the next room full. and so on. After moments surprise he expressed much pleasure at meeting them all. The inner man was refreshed, there being an abundance of food. There were several birthday cakes, one of dies. A part of the guests left early. Others staid until the hours began to shorten, or would by the time they reached the end of their four or five mile ride. With best wishes and many happy returns of the day, they departed. Two of Mrs Morehouse's sisters, from Bridge port, were present to help celebrate the occasion, and others were detained from being present by sickness and the inclem- ency of the weather. It was very pleasant affair.-[One Who Was There.
