Editor HiIdreth of the Express and
Standard is devoting considerable OF his
space at present in advertising some of his
dead beat subscribers. ct may be that
some of his readers will not sympathize
with him but we can. This method is one
which all publishers hate to resort to but
when a man who is perfectly able to pay
for his paper will let it run and promise
from year to year that he will pay in few
weeks, until the time comes that he finds
that he cannot put the publisher off any
longer then deliberately tells him that he
won't pay and that he would like to see
him collect it, it is time that his name
be given to the public. His neigh bors
know that he is dead beat but it is right
that others should know it. If a man
really wants to pay for his paper he can do
it, and if he won't do it then let him take
the consequences.
The concert by the Fadette Woman's
Orchestra, at Sewers hall last Saturday
evening was listened to by large and APP
preciative audience. Every seat was taken
and many were obliged to stand. The
selections by the orchestra were rendered
in a manner that showed thorough train
ing and artistic merit ana skill. The
violin solo by Miss Bertha Webb, was
much enjoyed by all, and. her playing
proved her an artist of no ordinary ability.
The orchestra was assisted by Miss Ma bel
Waite, soprano. Miss Waite possesses a
voice of rare sweetness and her selections
were heartily encored by the audience.
This was one of the best concerts ever
given in the lecture course, and we believe
that many would be glad to hear this
orchestra another season. The tempera
ture of the hall was much warmer than at
the time of the last lecture, and was great
ly appreciated by those present.
We learn that Mr.. G. w. Seaver of this
village was one of the six men who voted
the ''Liberty Party ticket in Albany in
1850 After reading the article in the last
issue of this paper in which an inquiry
was made regarding the survivors of those
who voted that ticket In the state at that
found that he was the only one now living
of the number who voted the ticket in
Albany. Mr.. Seaver tells US that while
but six votes were cast in the town that
year, that the party increased during the
following year so rapidly that at the
election to the state legislature that year
the Liberty Party carried the day and
elected their representative, and we be-
lieve the following year, 1852, that Mr..
Edward Barnard was elected representa-
tive from this town by the same party.
We can not learn that any of those who
voted the ticket here in 1850 are now
alive.

A serious explosion occurred at C. S.
SINNERS Saturday morning. The pipes
of the water tank were frozen and as soon
as the steam began to generate, being con-
fined, it exploded and blew the stove all to
pieces and demolished things generally.
Fortunately, no one was in the room at
the moment, if there had been, it would
have been much more serious.
