A general weighing of the United
States mails throughout the New
England states commenced the 18th
inst. This weighing of the mails neces.
states the presence of official weighers
on trains /, 4, 5 and between this sta
ton and Portland, and on and 3
between Groveton and Portland, among
whom H. B. johnson has position, who
commenced his labors on trains and
Tuesday evening, leaving Portland at
$50. This weighing is liable to be
continued for three months, and for pos
tai clerks and postmasters at terminal
offices like Island Pond it means good
deal of extra work, and they are glad
we presume that the weighing occurs
but once in four years.
The Cardinals went to Barton last
Friday and played game with the
| Woodsville Y. M. G. A. team at the fair
winning by score of 9 to 8 in a very
close and exciting game. 1t was a
splendid game to watch being close and
free hitting and splendid fielding by
both teams. Suitor who pitched for the
Cardinals was hit safely ID times but
they were well scattered; while on the
other hand Parker the Woodsville
pitcher was hit for 10 safe ones most Of
which were punched. Considering the
cold weather and the fact that he had
pitched the day before Suitor twirled a
splendid game. Flaherty caught finely
while Davis and Hodsden excelled in
fielding. The outfeld had but few
chances. The Woodsville team were
practically sure Of the game which
made their defeat all the more CALLING
to them. The score by innings:
p 4 s 6789
Cardinals, O4 500 IS
Woodsville, 90 oil 2 0-s
