WILLIAMSBURG.

| We infer that our Township Committee
think wise men change their minds as they
once decided not to rent the town hall for
dancing purposes, then changed their minds
and did allow the dancing to continue.
Oh, what minds we great men have. Per-
haps some of the said committee heard the
Old Bachelors say, that in olden times the
people danced before the Lord, and he
didn't kick, and zoe ought not to. Others
said he also replenished the wine. So we,
the voters, have decided to allow the COM
mittee their own views in the matter. The
wine may flow more freely next spring as a
whole new committee must be elected, then
the dancing will continue to the displeasure
of many.
