The Bellows Falls TINES chronicles the
election of board of trustees of the Bel
lows Falls library. Our good friend, Hon.
A. N. Swain, fer many years publisher of
the Bellows Falls TIMES, was elected pres
ident; but the point which interests us par
ticularly is the statement in the following
paragraph: cit is just ten years ago that
the library was opened, aud there are now
between 5000 and 1000 books" We ven
ture the prediction that Bellows Falls
appre ciates its library .-Morrisville News
and Citizen.
In the spring, which is now distinctly up
on us, woman's fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of housekeeping, but the thoughts
of her family while the frenzy lasts are not
apt to be of either poetical or ediiying
character. The first shock of calamity is
felt nowadays when one turns the corner
going home at noon and beholds the house,
hold furniture reposing on the fore and aft
piazzas, the carpets hanging over line in
the back yard waiting to be whipped, while
the interior of the house has freshly
scrubbed appearance and is strongly redo
lent of soapsuds. Even the cat has caught
the spirit of the occasion and is diligently
washing behind her ears in an excess OF
cleanliness. An elegant collation. of cod
baked beans or warmed-up hash is set forth
on the broad shelf in the pantry and par
taken of in an informal manner. Cheerful
conversation languishes during this en-
forced meal, each person seeming to be
wrapped in the "impenetrable gloom OF his
or her own suffering" and the general
stock of good nature has met with such a
shrinkage, due no doubt to the prevailing
dampness, as to make one wonder why,
under the circumstances, cleanliness should
ever have been ranked next to goodness.
