REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

The republican caucus Tuesday evening
to nominate representative to the gener-
al assembly was largely attended. 4 M.
Bartlett was elected chairman and w.
II. Bishop secretary. The name OF ..
l.. Mansur was presented by Col. Porter
H. Dale, who made rousing aud
ringing speech, in which he extolled the
political and business integrity OF Mr..
Mansur. He spoke feelingly OF the
peculiar situation in the town of Brigh'
ton the past four years, and said while
regretting the past, we should forget
it, and look hopefully to the future.
These sentiments met with enthusiastic
applause. A. A. Pomeroy and j. 5.
Sweeney seconded the nomination, and
Mr.. Mausur was unanimously nominated,
by rising vote. He made brief but
capital speech in acceptance, which
created favorable impression. A
union Justice ticket was next presented
and adopted as the choice OF the caucus
This ticket is as follows:
E.J. Parsons, j. S. Sweeney,
N. Hobson, D. w. Ihurstoh,
G.. E. Clarke. DIP. Mackenzie,
E. M. Rartlett, A. o. Dechene,
SD. Hobson, T. G. Tracy.
Several made appropriate and timely
remarks, in fact there was more speak
ing and more interest manifested than
has been seen at a similar caucus for
number of years, and this unanimlty OF
feeling augurs well for the success OF the
party at the polls this year. The noml-
nee for representative is a capable busl
ness man, and if elected will faithfully
represent his constituents. He stands
too, on the party platform. Here's
hoping he may be the coming "gentle
] man from Brighton"

Don Foss invited our attention day
or two since to very superior line of
souvenir chinaware, cups, saucers, plates,
trays, berry dishes, toothpick holders,
etc., imported direct from Austria.
Each piece has either a picture of the

for visiting friends to take home. Not
a piece was broken in the consignment,
which is remarkable, coming all that
distance, thousands of miles.
Mrs. Bresse, a few days since, at the
Bartlett Co.'S store, laid down her hand
bag on the counter, forgot about it, and
did not miss it until retiring for the
night. AS the bag contained $1,000 in
cash and securities her feelings can we'll
be imagined. She and her husband
came into the village and looking
through the window saw the bag just
where she had put it, which evidently
must have satisfied them, for they re-
turned home without attempting to call
up any member of the firm. On the
! store being opened the next morning
Mrs. Bresse recovered her bag, the con-
tents intact, and she departed home a
much satisfied woman. Just fancy a
bag containing $500 lying on counter
all day, unguarded, its existence forgot
ten for the time being, and the owner
to recover it, finding its contents all
right just think, too, what might have
occurred.
