GREENWOOD.

IL ia doubtful II the Pilgrim Fathers
xere more thankful to see the Columbian
hills appear 10 view, after their tedious
voyage across the Atlantic, than the
people were to see the first spot Of bare
ground crop out above the snow this
spring, after so cold and long winter.
There Is large quantity Of snow yet,
although the warm rain Tuesday night
and Wednesday settled 1t good deal ;
and those who we're out Of hay or nearly
so. would like to see 1t 60 still more rap
idly.
There was report last week that the
measles and whooping cough were both
in town; but, as they used to say In war
times, Ii needs confirmation. But the
grippe has been here, and some have
been very sick with it.
In consequence Of the bad travelling
nothing has been heard from Mr.. Swans
family since last week.
There are not 20 many sheep kept
about here rs formerly, but what there
are look uncommonly we'll. Daniel Bry-
ant has flock Of ten, all Of which have
had lambs, eleven In number, and the
handsomest lot we ever saw ct this time
of year. Mr.. Bryant knows how 10 take
care Of stock, and always brings Il out
looking well In the spring.
A singular coincidence win sometimes
happen, and here Is case In point: Last
Saturday Deacon r. L. Cole started on Q
visit tp Lynn, Mass, to zee bis children,
accompanied by his son Frank - far -
South Paris, who happened to 60 ct the
aamA time IN huainsaa On reaching
Portland the deacon met his son ELMER
who was coming down on abort visit,
and also to take back bis colt that bis
brother Harry has been keeping for
him. Arriving 1t South Paris bis
brother Frank came into the came car
for the purpose Of going homo, and thus
they accompanied each other 70 the
Pond. That circumstance never hap
pened before, and probably won't again
daring ~ present century.

LONG eos ucePRsslosNT

IL is within the limits Of possibility
that an honored son OF Oxford County
John d. Long-msy be the next vice
president OF the United States. 1t
is not probable, because he lacks some
OF the external and fortuitous quslitcs-
tons which have in recent years come
TO be regarded as almost essential TO
candidate for that Office. But new po-
litical conditions have arisen which may
make his nomination possible. Certainly
the Republican party could nominate nc
one better fitted, in ability and character,
10 grace that high Office.
