We trust the readers of the News AND
CITIZEN will forgive us for our omis.
sion OF last week, as we were sadly af-
ttlcted with sore eyes. They are fast
improving,
Any person or persons who have
never spoken kind word to anybody,
or performed kindly act on life's
journey, are objects of pity, We are
thankful there are but few of this sort
in this community.
The Valley House is again open to
the public for the accommodation of
man and beast q. S. Newcomb is the
proprietor. L. P. Jackson, formerly of
the Phoenix, has engaged rooms there
and will soon be ready to perform the
tonsorial art, for those that are in need.
Prof. Jackson is an up.to.date artist and
comes we'll recommended
The main topic of discussion is when,
where and how can we get out of here.
The travelling is awful, neither sleigh
ing or wheeling. Our supplies are
nearly exhausted; but we can subsist
on sap alone, which is plenty but some
what weak. We shall not send forth the
Macedonian cry until dire necessity
compels us. Meanwhile, you who are
basking in the sunlight of peace and
plenty think of us in our poor and desc
late state.
Singing school has but three more
nights to complete the twenty lessons
which Prof. Leach is to give as per con-
tract. The Prof. has done himself
much credit while here. First, he has

terested in music; 3D., The young gentle
men scholars have made themselves
famous by assisting the young ladies
to and from their homes regardless of
the weather and threats. Music and
children are the sunshine of life.
A new trust has recently been formed
in our quiet and beautiful city. 1t is
known as the Allen & Amidon Slab
Combination. They have secured sole
control of all the slabs, edgings, but
tings, sawdust and good will from the
Wedge mill also the Parker & Stearns
mill. Now when we poor fellows want
to steam Goldfish, or boil a crow for
or warm little milk for the
babe, we have got to pay tribute to AL
len & Amldon, or go into the woods and |
cut our own wood as our fathers used to |
in the days of yore when they owned |
their homes. Let us strike, or invoke |
the aid of the President. The Standard |
oil trust and the Beef trust are not to be
compared with this monopoly that has
stirred our hitherto peaceful hamlet.
The agitation is great and the outcome,
like the situation at St. Petersburgh,
cannot be predicted. The prediction of
our wisest astrologers is completely
baffled, and the end is not yet.
