 Last weeks items were delayed on &C., count of the heavy snow storm. No mail out or in for two days.
 The teacher, Mrs. Mary Curnan, and pupils of Glass Factory school visited the Hill school one day last week. Walter I. Nichols has been appointed
 
 of Charles E. Nichols, resigned. There are many other dents in the pan, Other oysters in the stew. Many others slipped on the ice, young man. Tho we smiled, 1t wasn't at you. We hear that Mrs. Lydia Hancock I Warren has left her home on "Antuzel'' mountain, and, with her son, removed to Stafford Springs.
 For the last few days the weather has been so delightful as to efface the chill left by the great storm, and the below zeio weather that attended it. | "I trust you're not hurt, ," Is what he said, AS the sleigh upset before they were wed. But when they tipped over the other day He growled: You weigh more than load of hay"
 l We are almost i'll danger of being made vain by the number of times we have heard by mail and by word of mouth "No Wilmington items in The Press last week what's the matter?"
 Mrs. s. P. Morrison invited the mem- bers of the grange to her home, across the street, at the close of the installation services at the last meeting, and treated I ant time was enjoyed.
 l While playing in the school house at recess last Friday, Florence Pierce fell upon the corner of a desk and cut gash in her had. Teacher Richardson took her home in his sleigh and dressed the wound so skillfully that she was out again in few days.
 One thing more: There seems to be a great deal of curiosity about the party to whom we sold the Taylor homestead the other day. Listen: The party is an able, | reputable, common sense, retired Con- gregational minister, who, without doubt, will become a useful and helpful citizen, for although technically "retired," he is not by any means antiquated. An eminent German scientist, referring to human history, asserts that we may trace the cause of many evils in the die- tetic character of the people. The rejec- tion of flesh would give a new direction to human culture and industry. Agricul ture would be greatly developed. The numerous diseases now traceable to 6 flesh diet would disappear, and with them l the manifold cruelties of the slaughter house. The expense of living would be greatly reduced, and thus the poorer classes would be elevated Il We have been requested to give infor nation through The Press of how "Tht Good Roads, scheme in this town is get ting along. We have been told that ii I R.l &l will have to pay bill of expense incurred by the visit here of Highway Commis. sioner Mcdonald, or of an engineer, or oi both. However, we have no accurate knowledge in the premises. The select. men, Chairman Adolph Korper particu- larly, is the source from whence to get information. Another thing: We are often asked "How about the new guide. post law? Were all intersecting roads duly attended to 'on or before September 1, 1S97?'" Again, we say, consult the SC. lectmen. Now there's no fling" in this paragraph. We pen it in all kindness.

 The ice machinery has been running quite steadily of late. They were work ing all day Sunday but Monday the slush had frozen in the crevices where 1t had been plowed, making it necessary to ploW 1t over again. No ice was put in the house Monday.

 ho nj oh held in the hall last Friday night, was 6 very enjoyable affair. The society netteo over $12. The attendance was not as large as usual, and consequently not all the pies were used. It seems pity tha the people do not turn out to a social like don't you get up something ?" but wher anything Is gotten up there is but smai attendance. Those who attended las Friday night had a good time. Games were played and very pleasant evening was spent. The food which was not usee was sold.

This was one of tn } most interesting meetings yet held There was considerable music. Thoma
