editor inform 'us what kind of a thing
“306013” is? We have hunted all over Wor-

using some of that “hindsight so much bet-

TOWNMEETINC—The legal voters of the
Town met at Sturges’ Hall, Saturday after-
noon- Mr. William J. Finch presided. The
real object of the meeting was to discuss the
'practicability of allowing the chairman of
-tlic selectmen to “run” the town on the basis
of his hostility to the Horse Railroad Com-
pany. The sequel shows that, “if the town
knows herself, and she thinks she does.”
She will. do no such thing! . Mr. E. M.
Lees Offered a resolution directing the
sclectmen to withdraw any suit they may-
have commenced against the horse railroad
cempany, and restraining them from 'com-
mencing any suit in future of that nature,
unless authorized to do so by special town
meeting. Mr. Sinibert explained liisposition
and warmed tip considerably as he alluded to
the bridge,,the tracks, and the futile efforts
he had exerted to have things go differently.
Mr. II. W’. Lyon was in favor of having the
suit withdrawn. AHe thought we should all
seek to aid rather than hinder the company
in their good work. Mr. . E. J. Taylor
thought there should be no growling between
'thetciwn and the railroad company. The
road was hilt by persons paying the largest
amount of taxes. _ The town’s taking action
against the road would be like suing the
right hand with the left, and making the

Wilsonobjected to the last part of the res.
lutioii,’which,7iii his opinion, ’pstablished a
bad precedent. He finally agreed to‘ it.
Selectman, S. B. Sherwood, supported Mr.
Smibert’s position. President IIurlbutt ex-
plained about the tracks on the drawbridge—
that they were put down according _ to sug-
gestions by the selectmen, and that said
tracks could not safely have been placed
nearer the trestle work of the draw. Mr. J.
E. Wheeler alluded to the advice of Mr.
John Stephenson, car builder, as to the posi-
tion of the tracks, and believed if they were
nearer to the draw tréstles it would be unsafe
for travelers in Summer. Mr. Finch, in an-
swer to a question by Mr. .Lees, said-lie had
crossed'tlie draw frequently with carriages
and never had tlstliculty with his wheels, on,
the tracks. Mr. Leesresolution was adopted
and the meeting adjourned. ’ ,

OLD FASHIONED TEA Puma—It is propos-.
ed by several patriotic citizens to celebrate
the 145th anniversary of the birthday of
Washington, which occurs Feb. 20d, 1877,
in an old fashionedvtea party, at National
Hall. 7 The ‘idea is to invite every man
and woman in town of the age of 60 years
and upwards to sit at a repast specially pro-
vided forthcm, the .young ladies and gentle-
men of the town attired in costume of “ye
olden time,” to wait on table. The scheme
includes many social features, music, and an
old folks’ dance after the repast. Three
years ago, by actual count, there were in
town 1‘26 persons seventy years of age and
upwards. Many of them have since died,
but by accepting persons of 60 years and
upwards it is believed a goodly company of
aged ones can be brought together. All
those in favor of the plan for an old folks
party are requested to meet at 'the residence
of Mrs. Elnathan,Wheeler, Tuesday, Jan. 16,
at two o’clock, p. m.
At the post office there is a petition which
should receive the signature Of all thinking
men; asking the General Assembly of the
State at its present session, to take action

existing provisions being insufficient for that
purpose. -
Rev. Father Keating was the recipient of

the young ladies of the parish with a purse

The boys, now grown to be men, who in
1849—50 did so enjoy trips on" “double rip-

Mr. A. Jennings, son of Charles Jennings

"in hopes of regaining his health. Last week
the sad intelligence reached his friends that
he had died there, far away from his wife

poor wife that she lies now in a very critical
condition. There is universal sympathy with
her in this sad affliction. The corpse, proper

'laid, or as the saying is “cut and dried"
months'bcfore, and the rejecting of names,
from the ' omissidn of a middle fetter to suit
their . own purposes, is “parliamentary
usage,” and the honored gentleman who ac-
cepted the illegal vote, as. I understand law, .
must be filling a high ofiicc, and the one that
decided the votes has reason to thank the
Lord that he has been a church member for
forty years, aiid they have not turned him

run, BENNETT-MAY assuanirvf
Young James Gordon Bennett is an ass of
with a decided trace of the bully added.
Bennett owns the New York Herald, and has
an income of something like a_ million of
dollars per annum, which, ass as he is,
makes him sought for by all the managing
mammas who have daughters to marry off.
Miss Caroline May got him hooked finally and
she was engaged to marry the Herald man,
but all of a sudden the match was declared
off. Last Monday night a brother of Miss
May assulted Bennett in front of the Union
League Club, and gave him a most satis-
factory horsewhippiug, which resulted in
a duel fought in Delaware, in which young
May was slightly wounded. May goes to
his friends in Baltimore, and Bennett sailed
for Europe to get away from the talk the
succession of events has produced. Bennett
says he broke the match because he was sat-
isfied that he was not fit for marital life,
while the Mays, on the other hand, claim
that they broke it because Bennett displayed
too much of the blackguard to be trusted
with a wife. It is told of his going to the
house of his afiianccd in a 'state of beastly
intoxication: Of his getting the ladies at his
house perched upon a billiard table and turn-
ing loose a half-dozen fighting cocks, and not
allowing them to get down for an hour. In-
nuinerable stories are told of his. escapades,
all of‘ which are brutal and semi-idiotic. The
elder Bennett was just as eccentric as this
one, but; he was shrcwdcr than Satan himself.
He commenced the publication of the Herald
in a collar in Ann street, and made it the
property it is, by courses ,which, if followed
now, would consign an editor to the peniten-
tiary. He was a notorious black-mailer, and
made it his business to be constantly involved
in quarrels and difficulties. N othing‘ pleased
him so much as to provoke aman to cowhide
or kick him. He would take his punishment
meekly, and without resistance, and rush to
his ofllccancl write a long account of it, in
which his assailant would he more scandal-
ously abused" than ever. A kicking wasa de-
light to him, and be absolutely reveled in li-
bel suits. Tom Hamlin, the' actor, once
forced his jaws open and spit down his throat,
and James Watson Webb cowhided him a
dozen times. Almost every respectable man
in New York thrashed Bennett, hm he thriv-
ed wonderfully for all that. These affairs at-
tracted intention to him, and he did make the
Herald the best newspaper the country ever
had, and it is so now. His business was to
collect news, and in doing it he displayed
wonderful energy and amazing shr’ewdness;
he established pony expresses before the days
of railroads; he had fast sailing boats to in-
tercept vessels, and lie was the first to realize
the power of the telegraph. And so, while
the Hawk] nevgr influenced an opinion;
while it is conducted upon the principle of
denying to-day what it said yesterday, eve-
rybody reads it, and it is the best newspaper
proper“ in the country. Young Benne
knows otliing about journalism, but the sys-
tem established by his father remains, and
the men trained by his father still carry it
out in all its details 'Werc he allowed to
manage it he would wreck it in a year. But
fortunately, he is so absorbed in polo, in walk-
ing matches, in yachting and kindred amuse-
meals, that he Can give no thought to his pa-
per, aud so it gets on as well as ever.

other son, Cornelius, is not thé‘ best man in
the world, and the great ambition of the
dead financier was to have his colossal for-
tune kept together. William will do it, and
will add to it. He is as good a mail. of busi-
ness as his father, and has been carefully
trained to take his place when death should
exact the first mortgage he 11.0lti3 on all of us.
The other heirs squirm at his having control
of the estate, but it won't make any differ-
ence. The Vanderbilts never let ‘go any.
thing they get their claws on, and -William
has too good a thing. The lawyers will
have a soft time of it, 'for the old man left
them all enough to make a' very pretty fight
with. There will be no change in the Inau-
agement of the great roads, for William has
.been virtually the manager for several years.
Within a very few months the four .richest
mentin the country have gone to their long
home—Astor,‘Yanderbilt, and Stewart, of
New York, and IIemcnway,of Boston. They
didn’t take anything with them.
roon AMY FAWSITT
is dead, and died of starvation. Amy Faw-
sitt was an English actress, who was, at one
time, the pet of London, and bid fair to be-
come a favorite in New York. But the wo-
man who could earn her thousands at week
did not save a Cent—they all seem to think
that their popularity will last forever—and
when she was taken sick she was forgotten
Her little money went, then her clothes, un-
stockings,'and died in this great city for
want of food and medicine. 'Two years ago
thousands of girls, as they saw this beautiful
woman clad in velvet and loaded with jewels,
envid her. There isn’t: a shop girl in the
city who has not Iced a more happy life,.and
very few but whp will die a better death
It is not all gold that glittersl
SOCIETY AND AMUSEIlENrs.
Despite the snow, and despite the hard
times, the fashionable end of New York has
outdone itself this winter. Balls and recep'i
'tions have been more common than ever be-
fore, and more money th'an ever has been
spent upon dress and adornment of house
and person. The fact is there are a few hun-
dred families who are so rich that cutting off
half their incomes makes no Morencc what-
ever, and they feel a’ sort of pride in being
able to throw away money when everybody
else is short of it. “What odds is it," said
one young fellow in commenting on a party
just given, the wife of the giver having
sported $60,000 worth of diamonds,“whetlier
they have half a million a year, or a mil-
lion.” But the amusements that draw tlilir
are suffering. The theatres are drawing no
money, the actors are not getting their pay,
and bankruptcy is strring the profession in
the face. T he newspapers are running very
close to shore, and, in short, everything that
can be is cut off. Only the very l‘l(‘ll can af-
ford to he jolly, and the£ are making the
season unusually gay, for cry. spite it would
seem. PIETRO.
For the preservation or recovery of health and
strength, the diet should be wholesome and
nutritious. When it happens that the alimentary
processes are disturb d by improper or half inas-
ticatcd food, the best‘mcdy tor the evil results
of abuting the digestive organs is Hostctter’s
Stomach litters, a most agreeablc,prompt and
gentle remedy for dyspepsia, and for the billions
ahtlcvacuative irregularities which result from
it. The liver and bowels, in common with the
sto'nach,e.\'periencc its beneficont influences. The
refuse of the system is carried 011‘ through-its nat-
ural outlet, li'calthy flow and secretion of the bile
is promoted, and a powerful impetus ts given to
assimilation in consequence ot‘its ‘llse. It health-
fully stimulates the bladder and kidneys when
they are inactive, and by its tome and regulating
action fortifles the system against malaria.
