How New England People Do.

EXETER, N. H., Jan. rs, 1896.
Mn. EDITOR: have now little time
before dinner and will take the oppor-
tunity to write few lines about the
habits and customs of this part of New
England. AS the announcements of the
changes in the courses at 'P. Z. a."
have not been made, shall not be able
to fulfill the promise of my last letter.
Probably the most striking thing to be
noticed here by one from the Middle
Atlantic States is the manner in which
the "Yankees" pronounce words contain
ing 81" Very few, if any, pronounce
thas letter; for instance, in the word
''here," they pronounce it as If it were
spelled shea" Another noticeable char
acteristc is the pronunciation of the
expression "It was not" The CYAN
kees' pronounce it "'Twa'n't." might
mention several other odd expressions if
il we're not toe, tedious.
Among their customs, probably one of
the oldest is that of ringing the ''curfew"
at Q O'Clock every evening except Satur-
day, when it is rung an hour earlier.
The winters up here are, of course,
much more severe than those in New
jersey, and as soon as the first good fall
of snow comes, every wagon is at once
put ON runners. The milkmen, grocery
men, hackmen, coal men, in fact, all bus
ho. 70
sleighs. This winter has been one of the
mildest known in this vicinity for the
last forty years. Until last week, with
the exception of two weeks, there had
been no winter weather of any account.
Last Thursday and Friday it showed and
rained, and yesterday and to-day it
showed again, ami now the sleighing is
fine. 1t looks very much now as though
winter had at last commenced in earnest.
AS Greenland is only four miles from
here one would expect very severe winters
every year, but then 'sthere are excep-
lions to all general rules
One of the best Gus toms is that of all
business men raising the hat TO one
another. All the professors and students
also raise the hat when passing. Another
thing for which the yankees" are noted
is their regular attendance at church.
It costs much more to live here than in
New Jersey. When told one of the
storekeepers that four cents was the reg
ular price for sugar at home, aud that
some of the dealers had reduced it to
Shree cents, he would not believe me,
natil I got MoNIToR-REGIsTER and
showed him list of articles and prices
published in your paper. The price OF
sugar in Exeter is 60. a pound; butter,
&c.,; coffee, $50.
There is not nearly as much push
aud energy to be found here as is shown
farther south and west. Philadelphia is
said to have reputation of bsing
.sslow'' city, but Boston far surpasses it
in that respect. Taking things altogeth-
or. in my opinion. New Jersey far exceeds
New England. Wishing to thank you for
she space given me in your paper, l am
Y ~ respectfully,

Three members of the State Board of
Taxation retire this year-Theodore III.
Hopler, Albert H. Slape and Charles G.
Black. They are Democrats. Under new
law the Board must not consist of more
than two persons belonging to one party.
At present Henry j. West is the only
Republican member of the Board and his
term does not expire for three years.
One of the new appointees must be a
Republican. The retiring members have
made fair record, and one or two of
them may be reappointed. Tyler Parmly,
who ran as an independent Democratic
candidate for Mayor of Newark some
years ago, is a candidate for one of the
places.

The display of the new Cot

The American Line steamship st. Paul
went ashore off Long Branch on Satur.
day morning during the dense fog, and
all e@orts to float her have thus far
proved unavailing. The st. Paul carried
large number of passengers, United
States mail, and about 81, 100000 in gold,
consigned to New York parties. All the
cargo has been removed. Who is respon.
sible for the grounding of this big
steamer is yet undetermined, but it seems
to have occurred because of the officer
in taking the soundings, in thinking he
had seventeen fathoms of water when he
only had seven.

The proposed law putting the Supreme
Court and Chancery Court clerkships on
q salary basis will probably be arranged
so as to give the incumbents salary Of
about Sc, 900 year and small percent
age of the fees. By this method the
clerks will have an Incentive to see that
the fees are all collected.

The eNew Woman" as she is termed,
may be fair target for the shafts of
ridicule in some respects but. on the
other hand, much of the current talk
about the danger of women becoming
unsexed in thoughts and tastes is absolute
nonsense. Underlying this talk is the
gratuitous assumption that whatever is
masculine is vicious and should be
sedulously Stunned by the opposite sex.
Such teaching is to be deprecated, for it's
tendency is to erect different standard
of moral conduct for men and women.
1t not only makes guilt of thing or
action which in itself may be perfectly
harmless, but operates to cripple. and
crush the energies of the feminine sex.

effect that race track bill is being pre-

New York, and will shortly be introduced
in the Legislature. With the uprising Of
the people against this iniquitous busi-

bill, or give it countenance, must be
careless of fate. If the race track men
are hoping to ensnare the Republicans it
will be interesting to see the kind of bait
