Mrs. A O. Frederic left last Friday 10

been for long time.
We regret to learn that Mr. William

| Hussey the appreciation OF his fellow
townsmen felt tor him in he way he had
conducted the affairs OF the town during
the past few ye-rs and earnestly urged
him 10 allow his name to be used as a
candidate to succeed himself Mir
Hussey replied that while he felt deeply
grateful for The confidence placed in him
there were many thirgs connected with
his private business which was seriously
in erferred with while he held the position
and that he did not feel that he could
allow his name to be used. Upon this
point he was firm. Several other names
were then taken up but their owners de-
clined the honor, finally the slate was
made up with Frank L. Ames Esq list;
H. S. Whiting, and; and Ellis Tobey
