Lamoille Grange.
At the last meeting of LamoiIle
Grange 70 members and one visitor
were present. The first of the COM
petitive programs was presented.
This consisted of music, roll call,
essay by Mrs. Griswold, discussion
of a question byl. N. LeBarron, Mrs.
E. H. Chaffte, w. F. Griswold, Mrs.
E. 6. Sherwin, q. II. Terrill and Mrs.
j. J q lmore. j. NJ. Campbell read a
poem and presented some droll quer-
les, shat caused much merriment.
The following original lines from the
pen of Leon Daniels were read
In more remote times, when everyone went
At war with his neighbor, on bloodshed
intent,
The vanquished must give rything he
possessed,
His weapons and wealth at his victor's
behest,
And so it is famous in poetry and song,
That always THE spoils to the victor belong.
But the Grange, so it seems, in its friendly
relation,
Has given the words new Interpretation.
For who'eer can master good appetite
! And look on the viands with inward delight,
No matter whether he's saint or a sinner,
He's sure to come in for a share of That
dinner
In closing the leader thanked the
audience for their close attentionCD
and the members of the Masters side
for their cooperation. At the next
meeting which will be Dee. 5, the
Overseer's side will present their pro-
gcamme consisting of music, recita-
tions, declarations, land an old
folks educational society,"" 1t is
hoped that every member will be
present to enjoy this meeting.
With a fuller understanding of
more of the details of and claims of
of the candidates in the late Demo
cratic fiasco, relative to the post
Office, it may BE- we'll to say that Mr..
Cady objected because of the alleged
voting of Democrats not eligible, as
well as his superstition that there
were those voting who were of diff
ferent political faith. If it was not
for satisfying their political appetite,
who is there but what would say let
Postmaster and Mrs. Earle go on
with the show?
There arrived at John Utton's
stables yesterday three valuable ad-
ditions to the list of promising can
didates for turf honors found there.
They are the recent purchase of Hon.
T. A. Lake of Connecticut, and are

A monument was placed in Pleas
ant View cemetery last week by Ly-
man Woodwork, who has made re-
movals to that ground. The monu-
ment of granite was cut in Richford.
DR., Holbrook's Scotch granite monu-
ment, the setting up Of which has
been delayed sometime because Of an
imDerfectiOn in the base first sent,
was also put in position. Mr.. Saw
yer of Mortified was here to do the
work. A handsome monument was
also placed on j A. Bundy's lot the
past week. 1t seems remarkable
how rapidly lots are being taken and
how thicky dotted with new monn-
mental work this new burial place is
becoming.
j. Ii. Warren had been missing
butchers tools, such as knives, steels,
etc., from the place where he dresses
meat, until their increasing absence
made it necessary that he buy new
outfit, which he did, and then pro-
ceeded to give them a private mark.
la short space of time the newcrop
began to wither away. Officer George
Town was put on the scent and with
his sleuth-like detective-ability found,
as is alleged by Warren and the of
fcer, some of the marked tools in the
possession of Briggs the meat man.
OF course whether they were in fact
his misappropriated property or not
a trial must prove, but at all events
Mr.. Briggs was arrested by Officer
Town last Saturday night. He Sc
cured bail and the presence of his
slight, willowy form on his meat
chariot has not been noticed since.
How many people can repeat the
late Rev. DR.. Smiths immortal hymn,
" America y? It's four stanzas ought
to be familiar to every man, woman,
and child in the country, and yet we
venture the assertion that not more
than one in a score of persons can
recite it,
