—Wo have sot'll ono silver doj-
Inr si iK'O \vc inve been in iftfcnh
Vista, and that was drawn in a
* jirize box'.
—We understand tliat, there is
tuning to be a rcstaurant‘in Buena
Vista. And wliy shouldn’t there
be ? A town with as many ad
vantages as our nice, little, tight
little, town, ought certainly to
have an eating house.
—There was no meeting of the
United Friends of Temperance'
owing to the fact that someone
had stolen err misplaced the key to
the door of the lodge room. There
was quite a large attendance, but
had to return home without any
meeting.
—Several of our fellow towns
men have been quite successful in
the nog-raising business. One of
them has six fine fat bogs to kill,
•mother lias seven or eight, and
still another has already butcher
ed some very fine hogs.
One firm, in Buena Vista, on last
Saturday, sold in c\-h sa’-es, wish

of the credit for bringing about ft is
benefipie-at state at’ things. All

bargains, had better come to
• Buena Vista.
Christmas is Coming.
The year is drawing to a,, close. |
The hearts of the. young and the
old are palpitating at the thoughts,
■of the pleasant and agreeable inci
dents which always follow in the
wake and on the wing of the
"Christmas Hollidays. Old Santa.
■C!aus*is preparing for the coming,
festivites® with usual life and v ig
or, and evc*h the immortal and
siever-to-be-forgottea Hard Times
is compelled to rest for a while,

great and unswerving friend, Saint
. •
The time is drawing near when
candies, raisins, nuts and the full
dine of Fancy Groceries will be de
stroyed and enjoyed in vast quanti
ties. The children will chatte 1 ’
•and laugh over them, and the e'.d
■folks will smile, and be happy
in the happiness of the young.
And it is to tire interest of all
those who have such things to
buy, to know where they can be
bought cheap, and where the
articles are pure and good ; and
we take great pleasure ii refer,
ing the public to the fact that
MqjMicheal & (Stevens lisve a
♦rge supply of Groceries,
which they say they will sell very
■cheap* At least it might bo to
.the interest of the public to call
and examine their goods.
Burglary. „
.. .
On last Saturday night, some per
son or pCtffcong entered the barn cl
Mr. Waljflr Woodruff by drawing the
staple and stile some teu or fifteen
btwhels of c<#n. He had about*ifour
lmiulred buslnshjiu the barn, and sup
posed from tlje-appofrancc at things
that about' the 4hove mentioned
t hail been taken, *
t SStao measures,should, be adopted
by our good citizens to stop this
thing. It is much as peo
ple can do to live when they will
work, without their hard earnings be
ing stolen by the idle and dissolute
who will not work.

through Webster's massive new

ed a fabulous expense in having
' the whole work rewritten, reset,
recast, and republished. It is not
a mere revision, but a reconstu'C

pography, it-001*108'from the Riv

need be said about its mechanical
execution- It is a marvellous
specimen of learning, labor, rc.
