A week ago last Saturday evening Miss An-
nie McAllister swallowed a quantity of sul—
phuric acid by mistake. The largencss of the
dose caused vomiting, and the plenteous use
of albumen prevented serious consequences.
The Library Festival held during the past
week, was a pleasant. affair, and taking into
Consideration the times, was well attended.
After paying expenses we think there will be
a small margin in favor of books. The cane,
of which so much has been said on account
of its history (the material of which iti is
made) was voted to Mr. Thomas Brown, the
gentlemanly clerk at J: C. Randlc’s, who
says “it was the handsomest caning he ever
received.” The singing and‘rccitations wérc
good, especially the songs of Charles Freu-
denthali, of the Borough, and the MisSes
Crowthcr, and the recitations of Mr. Me.
Naughton. - f
The Hop on Friday evening brought out a
nice company, and the lovers “Terpsichore”
trip’t the light fantastic until the gray dawn
'of the morning, and all went home satisfied.
On Thursday. night and .Friday forenoon
some persons entered the building where the
festival had been held, and helped themseliies
very liberally to cake, candies and other gopd
things which had been left over for the pr
on Friday evening. They gained cntraiiee
through a rear window. It is probablyfiie
work of boys. ' 2-
Mike O’Donncl’s team became unmanagea-

The young gents who helped themselves-to

Our sign post near the Episcopal church
looks‘ dark; it is quite improved. We are
glad to Sec such things kept up, and wish the
town would erect other boards where they
are needed as other towns do. We had bet—

uncalled-for new roads in back parts of the
town. ‘ ‘

There was an audience of two hundred
anilapeveiity to witness Miss Fannie Palmer‘s
“Acting and Recitations.” As a whole, she
gave good satisfaction. Some, although get-
ting what had been advertized, must have
been attracted through ignaance, for they
profess to be very much shocked by the
“stagey” character of the entertainment.
It is always best to judge a thing by what it
professes to be, rather than by any other
standard. .
The last lecture of the course will be
given by B. G. Northrop, Thursday evening
and not Friday as advertised; subject “Town

The fellowship meeting was largely attend-
ed. The congrcgalioii was greatly profited
by a sermon from Rev. Mr. Dunning ; text,

meeting in the afternoon, conducted by Mr.
Sanderson, was very interesting, and hope
it 'will be the means of awakening the

The farmer should now lay his plans for
the year’s work. He has it in his power to
do something towards making better times.
Let each farmer use the labor of one able
bodied‘man'at least. The laborer must live,
and thcland needs his work. What we want
is the tireless activity of 1776, united to the
knowledge of 1876, and the productive pow-
er of this town, can be increased four-fould
within ten years.

We enter to-day upon the sixth week of'
continuous sleighing. At the present writing
,the streets are a solid glade of ice, the fields
are encrusted with snow, and the prospects
are good that theSe conditions will last all-

Thursday‘ght burglars entered the resi-

window over the piazza roof. After prowling
about the rooms they left with nothing to
reward their trouble. In the morning the
window was found open, tracks of hands and
feet were seen in the snow on the roof, and
beside the window were found a pair of boots,
an overcoat and a silk dress ; probably the
property of some unffirtunate neighbor.

One of the pleasant themes of conversation
in local circles here is the plan, alluded to
last week, for celebrating in a. becoming
manner, the anniversary of thebirthday of
“the Father of his Country.” A meeting of
“Old Folks” to devise ways and means, was
held Tuesday afternoon at Mrs. Elnathan
Wheelers. Mr. Maricm Bennett, General
Henry Sherwood, Edmund W. Taylor.
Hezekiah Lyon, Allen Renoud, Frederick
Morehouse, Jesse Bradley, Josiah Raymond,
Stephen Nash, and Elnathau Wheeler, all of
them over 60 years, and one, Mr. Bennett,
nearly 90 years of age, being present. Mr.
Josiah Raymond presided. The only action
taken was the appointment of General Sher-
wood, E. IV. Taylor, Frederick Morcliousc,
Josiah Raymond, and Elnathau Wheeler, as
a committee of arrangement, with instruc-
tions to inquire and report. The meeting
ing adjourned to meet at the same place
Tuesday 23d, 1). in The popular idea of a
celebration seems to be the bringing together
in some public hall on the day named, of all
the old folks in \Vestport, and treating them
to a supper—party or creed to have nothing
to do with the degibility, so to speak, of the
person, the prescribed age in alllcases gover -
ing. The “old folks” are to be under no
expense, but they will be waited on and
cared for by young ladies and gentlemen
chosen for that purpose. A canvas of the
town shows that there are residing in it at
this time 247 persons of the age’ of 60 years
and upwards, and it is believed 80 per cent.
or about 200 of them can be induced to come
out and show themselves Feb. 22d. What a
beautiful picture National Hall would present
with all these seated at table dressed in the
quaint styles of fifty years ago, the young
ladies as waitresses in white caps, and the
young gentlemen in white wigs with cue's as
in ’76, and wearing knee brooches and white
stockings. By way of after-dinner music, if
they. should sing "‘Auld lang Zync,” “Den-
mark,” “Complaint,” “Russia," “America,”
and other quaint old tunes, the enjoyment of
the listener would be as good as that of the
feast itself. In. the way of dancing, if the
old folks feel like it, their “Virginia Reel,”
“‘Fo c and After," “Cotillion’s,” “Money
Mués” 850., would serve, by contrast, to
show how much more enjoyment there is in
the old style of “tripping the light fantastic,”
than in the modern polka, waltz, and schot—
tische. It is suggested that those aged peo-
ple, when they meet, form themselves Into a
mutual insurance. society and adopt a code of
by-laws. The sentiment 'of the people is
very much in favor of the proposed celebra-
tion. ' PAUL.

Friendship Division, No.'10, S. of T.
held its thirty-second anniversary on Thurs-
day evening last. Raymond's Hall was en-
gagcd for the occasion. Tickets of admis-
sion were issued to friends of the Division in
the town. Invitations were extendcd'to. the
neighboring Divisions and, delegations from
Concord, Friendly Greeting, Wilt-on and
Rising Star Divisions were present.
The meeting opened at half past seven and
the Division last arriving found the Hall full.
More than five hundredpersons were present
and most of them seated.
Edwin Hoyt, D. GJV. I’., of the Divi-
sion presided and ably‘ conducted the pro-
ceedings of the meeting. '
Two of the charter members, Capt. Stephen

singing of. many excellent songs well suited
to the occasion.
The exercises were opened ith a prayer
by the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, Edwin Hoyt,
chairman, then read ahistory of the Division
which was one of the most interesting
features of the meeting. Speeches full of in-
terest and ably delivered were then given by
Judge Butler, G. W. P. Durand and Rev.
Mr. Shepherd. It was now ten o‘clock and
thcgudicncc were ready to retire but never—
theless the greater portion waited anhour
longer, patiently and attentively, to short
addresses from members of the visiting Divi-
sions. Mr. F. L. Aiken, the oldest member
of Concord present, made a few remarks
which were well received by the. audience
W. P. Cooke, of Wiltofi, did himself and his
Division justice in a few remarks which
were not so full of levity but that room was
found for pathos and 'good common sense.
The meeting was now closed by the benedic‘
tion, and all returned home well pleased with
the evenings entertainment and Friendship
Division may proudly call the meeting a suc—
cess.

New YORK, Jan. 19th. 1877.
TIIE BAD YEAR.
The season is a dreary one. War times
were hardlyworse. Houses everywhere empty
shops full of cheap and attractive goods;
but I have seen a country store livelier; im-
.provcmentsloo ' gmorc like ruins,as they
stand unflnish ; and underlying all, the
knowledge of deep suffering of thousands of
poor out of work. People are not ashamed
to stay at home and economize. Now’ that
the Centennial is over, and they are learning
without any hesitation or bashfulness to walk
into stores and give them orders for cheap
articles—“ the cheapest you have"—it is good
not to date ’76 any longer, and to think that
the anniversary year is over, and all the folly
of expensemhich'the country undertook on
its account,.for which it is paying the penal-
ty. When we think of the East Side of our
city—tho great working quarter— and the
thousands, not of men, but thousands of fain-
ilies. depending on charity for' every dole of
bread and fire in the deep mid-winter snows,
one feels twingcs at. buying a flower, or any
indulgence that might be dispensed with, and
the question grows, not “fliat can I afford,"
but “ what can I do without."
There is no vitality, no life, in anything;
The merchants stand listlessly in their stores,
feeling that rent and clerk hire are eating
them up. The clerks stand idle, living on
half wages, and dreading every night to hear '
the words t t will out even that off. The
landldrd is rri'ed, for he sees in the bmpty
store asurc premonition that it will very short-
ly be vacant. The truckmen has nothing to'
haul, and mechanics are idle. There never
was an approach to the distress that New
York is experiencing now, and I hope there
never will be. And, to add to the trouble.
the political situation, keeps those who have
money and disposition to do something wait-
ing, and before it is settled the season Will be
over. It is bad here—thank Heaven that the
West is prosperous. ‘
FASHIONS.
Women return to the appropriate custom
of wearing light and delicate colors for occa-
sions of high dress. White hats, pale gloves
and light mantles are donned for theatre and
dress promenade, a rule which should remain
in force iminutably. White felt hats of mod-
est shape are the choice, for the white plush
that displaces velvet looks unmistakably
coarse, and can only be a whim of th mo-
ment. Wide, rich folds of silk an full
plumes are the usual ornament, though a freak
'of aFrcnch Iiiillincr is to cover the flaring
brim entirely with rows of gilt galoon, set so
closely as to recall the halo of dead gold,
which in old pictures surrounds the heads of
saints; but the example is only quoted for its
hard, bad taste. Next to white, the finest
bouncts are of palest grayvclvct, the brims
cencealed with deep crimson trimmings and
flowers in elegant contrast. In dress, basque
and overskirts are popularly seen, but noth-
ing looks really elegant save the princess
dress, which is adopted as the standard cos-
tume also by the dress reformers.
LIFE INSURANCE.
The investigation into the affairs of the dc-
funct “Security" Life Insurance Company—
“Security 1” think of- it l—discloses a mass
of rottcnness that is awful. This company
had not the excuse of several that have failed
honestly by depreciation in securities; it was
thievingiy managed from the beginning, or at
least for many years, and was rotten. The
annual reports were doctored to show pros«
perity when the company was insolvent, and
to these false reports the officers put their
names, and swore to their correctness, with-
out a blush. It might have gone on for some
time, and made even a- werse smash up, but
the close times stepped off receipts, and as
there was no more money to wring out of the
people, orrather as the volume coming in was
too small to make the swindle profitable, it
collapsed. The thieves swore to balfices
they never had, to real estate which they
never owned, and to policies which they
never issued; and by fraud and perjury they
kept up an appearance of solidity which de-
ccived even the experts. Tl‘ierearc others in
the same way, that will come to grief within
a month. .
POLITICAL.
The democratic politicians are attempting
to get up a monster mass meeting in this city,
to protest against the Senate “counting in
Hayes,” but the cooler heads make protest
against any such demonstration as being cal-
culated to inflame the people at the very time
that peace is desirable. If the meeting is held
it will be every large one. The swarm of
democratic officials and their paid adherents
will be out in force, and add to them the
still greater swarm of those who want place,
and who would consider it a crime not to
attend a meeting labelled Democratic, and it
will be seen how large the meeting would be,
and how little it would really mean [t is
singular that these fellows can't wait till
Congress confesses its inability to settle the
question. But they live by agitation, and
“protesting” is their best hold. ,TllCVI’It‘pllD—I
licans Of the City are opposed; as a rule, to
the plan adopted by the joinl. committee of
the two houses for the settlement of the
Presidential question, for they belicre it to
be a surrender rather than a co npromise..
They insist that either Hayes or Tilden was,
elected ; that. the Contilnlion provides the
method for i'lctermining the qucslion, and
that any other method is wrong until it is '
changed by law: and they protest against
dragging the Supreme Court into the case.
It is held that if decided in this way one
party is certain to be dissatisfied, and that
the fact that the Supreme Court ‘will have
something to do with it will not take away
the feeling. They insist that the counting
shall take place as, it always has ; that the
President of the Senate shall' declare the t
result, and if the losing side feels aggrieved
it shall find itsrcmedy as best it can—just
the same as is done in all other cases. They
believe that Hayes was fairly elected, and
they insist that he shall be inaugurated. The
Republicans of this City, who know‘ by bit-
ter experience what Democracy is, shudder
when they think of that Tildeii and his
gang have the slightest possible chance of
getting control of the Federal Government.
Tim SXOW. .
Along all the streets are long ridges of dirty
snow, in some places eight and ten feet deep.
The people most ardently desire to have it
moved ; there are thousands of men starving'
for want of work, and the city is abundantly
able to pay for having it done, but unfortu-
nately there is no power anywhere to appro-
priate money for the purpose and so it stays,
to the utter destruction of comert. The
street cars cleared their tracks, but the space,
in consequence of the piled-up snow, is so
narrow that their cars are perpetually blocked
and it takes twice the time to go up or down
town th‘atit ought to, and it will lay till the
sun changes it into Inud and it runs off of its
own accord, leaving behind, as a remembrance
fevers and death.
BENNETT Mar.
The town has been on a broad grin for days
over the ludicrous ending of the Bennett-May
affair. The two idiots did go to a place in
Delaware, and did stand up before each other
at the blood-thirsty distance of twelve paces
and fire pistols into the air,'and retire. Then
'it was industriously given out that May was
mortally wounded, and that Bennett was hid-
ing, and the papers were filled with incidents
of the “ meeting.” The truth is neither was
touched. May sneaked off to Washington,
and Bennett sneaked off to Europe with his
sister, where he will probably stay. He is
the laughing stock of the city, and as he hasn’t
the tact of his father to turn such things to
account, it is better for him to be away. The
result of the “ duel" is so ridiculousthatit
has done more to put a final end to such non-
sense than all the laws. The only real suf-
fcrerjin the ctfse is Miss May, who is really a
nice girl, even if she Was willing to marry
such a man as Bennett. The two principals '
have hardly sense enough to feel the absurd
position they have placed themselves in.
Vaxnnnuima
Vanderbilt is not to be allowed to sleepd
peacefully in his coffin. His. daughters, in-
spired, doubtless, by their husbands, are not
satisfied with the disposition Of his estate,
and they will contest the will; They claim
they can show that the old man was under
undue influence when he made the will, and
that his bequests were consequently unjust-
Tli‘e fact is Vanderbilt was never clearer in
his life, and he did with his property exactly
what he had always intended to. lie desired
that the fabric he had built should remain fOr
all time, as does that of the Rothschilds, and
be selected the son who has business ability,
trained him carcfull in the management of
his railroads, and en left the control of
them in his hands. He was ambitious that
the name should endure in connection with
his enterprises, and that the system he estab—
lished should be perpetuated. Th’e daughters
will not succeed, for the will was made years
ago, and his intentions were as well known
five years ago 'as when-the document was
presented for probate. Sill the fight will be
a lively one, and the lawyers will get- fat pick—
ings out of it. William H. Vanderbilt is a
very strong business man, and is a worthy
successor to his father. He is just as grasp-
ing and just as selfish, and in his hands the
estate will grow rather than wastc.———PI_i-:Tiio.
The production of quicksilver in' Califor-
nia has increased so enormously. during the
past two years that it has attracted the at-
tentiOI-i of all interested in the article
throughout the ~ world: The .receipts
for the year have been 63,928 ,and the ex-
ports 48,010 flasks. In addition to the re-
ceipts at that city probably about 6,000 flasks
were shipped direct from the mines to N eva-
da, this bringing up the total production to
over 70,000 flasks, a gain in round numbers
of from 12,000 to 15,000 flasks over 1875;
The exports in 1875 were 34,844 flasks or 13,-
666 less than in 1876. .
