Much criticism is also expressed of the arrangements of this building.
 The first mailing case Is a quarter of a mile from the last mailing case and the various divisions are scatter ed over various floors. This requires much cumbersome and noisy ma chinery to carry the sacks of mall from one division to another. From the postofice standpoint large one story building with plenty of light Is the ideal type. They think that if they weye called in at the beginning instead of the end of the deal many mistakes would be avoided. The public buildings bill recently passed has a section providing that in the selection and purchase of sites for proposed government buildings the secretary of the treasury is required to take into consideration the present needs of the government. and the future growth of the cities and 1t is provided that in no case shall the secretary acquire a site unless the dimensions thereof are of sufficient size for a building that will accom- modate all the government of1ces now located. or likely to be located in the near future in the city

Mrs. John B. Smith has been
visiting in Newbury this week.
We think the people of West
Newbury are to be congratulated
on their enterprise in not allow
ing their creamery to be closed.
Town meeting passed off much
as usual. There was lots of fault
found with our school house,
some of it was justified but yet it
seems to many of us that the
building is muchtoo good to throw
away and that a moderate sum OF
money laid out in repairs might
put the building IN first class
condition. With our present debt,
and population and property val
uation on the decline we ought to
be as economical possib lie.

LIVERY intel ligent farmer needs his
- own local weekly newspaper and
a good agricultural family publication.
He can't run his home or farm success
fully without either of them.
A combination of the two, at a cost
not far from the regular price of one,
is cooperation which saves the farmer
money, and gives him two papers every
week for one year, filled with all news
of local interests, and all up-to-date ideas
in modern and successful farming.

1t is mentioned in the "reminiscences of
Rev. Kiah Bailey, and alluded to in the
diary of Rev. David Sutherland. Wheth-
er the hall Just burned, or another, was
the one then dedicated, cannot now be
ascertained.
These tavern balls were a feature of
county life which had not entirely ceased
to exist forty years ago, but have now
passed away. They were looked forward
to and participated in by all the gay young
people in a wide circuit of country. The
fashionable circles in their gayest attire,
attended them, and the tavern suppers
were events to be remembered. They
were regarded however by serious people
with aversion and by the ministers as very
dangerous things, of an immoral tendency.
Too often, indeed, they gave color to that
reproach. That dedication ball. so long
ago, furnished the subject matter for sew
eTal sermons.
The music at these old balls was often
very fine. In days when instrumental
music was confined to wind and stringed
instruments, there were some very fine
performers. No one in this vicinity was
considered equal to Willie Brock of Rye
gate, "a son of Deacon Andrew Brock whose
skill upon the violin approached the mar
velous. In exquisite taste and rendering
of Scotch music he was unsurpassed He
was considered indispensable at a "ball.
When Willie Brock fddled, sir said an
old Scotchman to me once, "folls had to
dance whether they would or no. They
couldna help themselves, He settled
and died in the West.
But the old ball room has passed away,
and of all who participated in its gayeties,
few are living to remember them. 1t
must be many years since it was last used.

ing remains but the walls. The buildings
had been newly painted, and looked just

REPORTED BINGHAM STRIKE.
Story Concerning Chicago-kremlin
Appears Premature.

For several months past the Chicago,
KTemln and National properties, located
near the mouth of the St. Joe company s
long tunnel at Bingham, have been operat-
ed under bond to T. A Grant of this city
The shaft on the property, which had
previously been sunk TO a depth OF go feet
has since been put down to the 400-foOt
level and the force, it is reported, viii
soon be reaching out for the Jo-fOOt level
More than that, the main ledge has been
opened OF the 800 level and crosscut for
over sixty feet, every inch in ore Twelve
feet of it. the report has il, is of a ship
ping grade, running high in silver and
lead, while the remainder is of a fine mill
ing quality. Not only has the ledge been
cut as stated, but a raise has been made
in the ore for q considerable distance to
ward the surface and, to those who have
seen the strike, it appears as though the
ore was going right through to the sur
face.
This is the story as told by DR. R A
Hasbrouck of the St Joe Mining COM
pany yesterday, and who gave as his au-
thOrity for the strike Secretary w 3
Burton.
From another source il was learned dur
ing the afternoon that the strike story IS
premature. The shaft has reached the
400-fOOt level and a croSscUt Is now being
run for the ledge but the expectation OF
Superintendent A l. He2stOn IS that he
will have to run something like 30 feet
to get it. The ledge was cut at the 300
foot level by former combination and ii
looked big and strong there It Is be
lieved mine will be made on the 100 or

G. H Jones. Norton Shade and others
are prominently identified with the
proposition, and the mines are being
developed under the direction of the
parties named. The ground is located
seven miles east of the Stanley post
Office and more than ECO feet of devel-
opment work has been done with re-
suits bordering on the sensational. Most
of this work has been done through a
tunnel. but q shaft from the tunnel
level is now going down in the ledge.
which averages over four feet wide
being a true assure in granite and
standing almost vertical.
The ore is free milling in character
and the values run all the way from
s. or s6 up to nearly 500 per ton. Be
tween the present tunnel and the sur
face it is figured that the mine can
produce 1000, 900 tons of this character
of gold ore. The values all make in
