GENERAL MISCELLANY.
A Midsummer Lesson.

The man who has no work to do,
Who spends frequent hour or two
In watching to see whether
The mercury is low or high,
Is he who suffers most from sly
Vagaries of the weather.
But he who his appointed task
Performs, and never stops to ask
How hot It's getting,
Is happy, though the mercury climb,
And squanders very little time
In vain regretting.
So, IL you would be calm and cool,
This lesson learn In wisdom's school,
Taught by poet:-
Work hard, and don't talk politics,
And even though it's ninety-six,
You'll hardly know 1t.

Article 81 was to see if the town would
raise the sum of $50 to complete the I'M
finished room in the new school house at
South Portland village. Mr.. Pickett
moved that the sum of $500 be raised and
the money be expended under the direo-
tion of the seIectmen. 1t was finally
voted that the sum of $500 be raised and
appropriated for the purpose of finishing
and furnishing the unfinished room in
the new school house.
1t was voted to raise the sum of $3.50 for
the purpose of extending Stanford street
sewer in South Portland village suffio-
lent distance into tide waters to carry off
any deposits from said sewer that may be
injurious to health.
Article 23 was then taken from the
table, This article was to see if the town
would appropriate 81, 900 for the construc-
tion of sewers. Mr.. Knight took the floor
and spoke of the need Of new sewers. He
spoke of the Stanford street sewer in par
tioular. He said that this sewer was built
about twelve years ago and was now in
very rotten and dangerous condition. 1t
was unfit for use as it would not carry
the collected matter off in proper shape
Mr.. O'Neill said he always understood
that the Auditors paid their proportional
part Of putting in a sewer and If this
was the cease the town should have had
enough with the appropriation made at
the time to put, in sewer that would
last for many years yet, but il the sewer
was in as bad condition as was reported
he moved the town should appropriate
the sum of 1000 for sewers. MIR. Knight
said he did not think the people vera
thoroughly conversant with the matter.
He had been in Portland and Westbrook
talking with people who were in posi-
tion to know the Importance of the ques-
tion at hand. He said there was work
enough for three clerks to keep track of
the sewer question. MIR. Chase said he
thought the Auditors should be made to
pay their proportional part of the ex-
pense of putting the sewers in. 1t was
then voted to raise the sum of $1,000 for
sewers.
At 3 10 there being no more husin ess
to come before the meeting it was voted
| to adjourn.
Monday, March 2, completed the 25th
| time that Mr. Thomas b. Haskell has
been successfully elected to the position

Mr.. Noah B. Knight has been elected
