Cruelty at South Londonderry.

George II. Waldron of Chester, president
of the Vermont Humane society, was in town
Friday and thereby hangs tale. Mr.. Wal
dron came over 10 look after a certain man,
who had been represented to him as in the
habit of abusing his horses. While engaged
in looking for proof of this charge he ran on
to his man trying to draw big load of hay
up rise to barn. The horses had baked
and the driver was off prodding them with
the tines of pitchfork until the blood was
running. A prosecution is expected. If not,
Mr.. Waldron need not come to South Lon
donderry again looking up this man or any
other.
1t comes to the Sitter that resident of
this village who this winter moved from the
south side of the village to the north end left
pig at the former place in uncomfortable
quarters where it has remained and been fed
enthusiastically. 1t is also represented that
the pig is not only in half starved condition
but has its hind legs and ears frozen. If this
pig is not properly cared for at once, the
Sitter will see that this man is prosecuted,
with or without the aid of the humane
society, and that his name be given wide
publicity.
Of all the mean things that poor humanity
is guilty of, but few exceed abuse of dumb
animal that cannot speak in its own defense
Especially is this true of the horse, mans
noblest and most useful slave.-Londonderr
Sitter.

ACWORTH.

A reception was rendered the new pastor
and family at the vestry of the church on
Tuesday evening of last week There were
about % in attendance and the program con-
sisted of short addresses, recitations and
songs, those present reporting very enjoy
able time.
1t was snow on Saturday and rain on Sum-
day with plenty of the accompanying slush,
which on Monday morning was dried and
every thing as clean as a whistle. It will he

Oliver Chaplin, who has been in very poor
health this winter, now seems to be on the

Those who have been sick this winter are

The annual town and school meetings come
off Tuesday of next week. Pass in your
vote or rise, stand and be counted. The VOTE
OF the humblest citizen counts as much as
that OF his wealthy neighbor, and that is
democracy.
1t was with good deal OF interest that
many OF US read the article by the overseer
OF the poor in the town of Claremont as pub
llshed in the Cold River Journal of last week.
1t is timely article and as the only remedy
he suggests to get rid of the abuse is, in short,
the exercising of more vigilance and more
backbone by those who have in charge the
taking care of the town and county poor, so
we would suggest that the displaying of these
same qualities on the part of all municipal
officers might be of great service in correct
ing many abuses in other directions.

Our 'Lectrlc Road.

Il, has now been years since first twas heard,
The rumor of our"'lectric road"
Like meteors flashed the news around,
"'Tis comm sure to Saxonstown."
Old men grew skittish in their talk,
Twas clear to Hayseed his horse would balk
And get so scared 'twould climb pole
And 'lectrocute it on the spot.
A place which can't be modernized
Amt only just half civilized.
SO while each egotistic man
Was eulogizing his pet plan,
The 'lectric road Just went to damn.
Years have passed since then,
Opinions now are not the same,
And we are sure from sufficient causes
Great good will cancel all our losses
The things been argued pro and con,
The charter changed, the franchise won;
And now when everything looks bright
Again they say the road will come.
But little things the great can build
Though might prevails, so still they wonder,
And Judging from untimely trouble,
They solemnize, "'Tis still bubble"
But Old Hayseed's Just come in,
Says he, ''The 'lectric bubbles bust
Then adding with silly grin,
"Soon's they can climb Pine Hill,
Well have road to Saxonsville."
