ever given, and was pleasant sur

enough to be present. Some of the
speakers went far beyond the expecta-

Morton w. Stephens was awarded the
prize. and very honorable mention was
given Clinton T.. Cook and Francis +.

favorable mention, but space will not
permit us to go into details. The

Our merchants have had the finest
line of holiday. goods this year that
was ever in our town, which shows
that our population is yearly increas-
ing and that our merchants are enter
prising and up-to-date with their
skilled city brethren. The most elab-
crate and complete display we have
noticed Is at Bliss & Hunts. where one
can not fail to find something suitable
for all sex and ages.
Before Squire Gardner's court yes
terday the case of j. c. Reynolds VS..
Henry Carpenter came up for trial. 1t
appears that the PLAINTIFF sued the de-
fendant for a book account, and the
evidence produced showed that the
books of the plaintiff did not sbelong
to him, but instead belonged to Milo
Wilson, esq.,. therefore the court ig-
nored the case and dismissed all par
