 There must be strain; Of maTev6- fence mi4 4ed in with lot of loose screws in the makeup of an old soldier of the late war who denounoes the order of the Grand Army of the Republic! Surely, there must be something the matter sOnaeaoeere.
 The day for our townaelection comes on apace, and there's considerable talk about changes in some of the more im- portant town offices. We learn from good authority that our first selectman, Adolph Korper, positively refuses to serve again. It's known to 8 few, perhaps, that MT. Korper personally never hankered for that office. COnfessedly, he has been most efficient officer. His trained busi- ness methods, with his neat and clear chirography, his prompt and intelligent correspondence with outsiders, is the business representative of the town these past nine years, have reflected honor up- on it.. fit is true that he has resolved to serve us no more in this capacity (per- sonaliy we never have had a word with him on this subiect), then it remains for the republicans of this town to pitch upon 8 successor who is a level-headed, good all-around man as can be found. And, right here, we desire to voice the growing sentiment that our citizens will not longer willingly submit to the injustice of going to the extreme southwest corner of the town for the transaction of all public busi- ness, except the registration of dogs. As 1t was for century or more, the place now for our grand list, the treasurer's check book, the payment of town orders, &c.,, is at the center of the town If there shall be new board of selectmen and perhaps other new officers elected next m onth who may be residents of other parts of the town, let 1t be distinctly un- derstOod that the place of business at stated times, the depository of all and singular of the public property, shall be at fkG ahovo. named 1Oealitv Parconollu we don't care straw about this business |; we are only talking now for other folks. : Asst Inspector, Henry E.

The inspector was pronounced in his praise of the state of. the posts books and it's work the past year.
 The unfolding of night-blooming oereOusis alwaysan event ofinterest, even in a '4back hill town" like Wlllington, and Miss Lucy Eldrldge's friends and nelghbors esteemed it very kind of her to let them know yesterday that the two im- mense buds on her Iuxuriant plant were seemingly only waiting for the right time to open. Quite 8 company assembled, and 2. socialp hour was spent, while the beautitulsAdwer steadily and impercepti- ply opened it's gorgeous, waxen petals.
