ihusiasticnierlingof the WilfOiiville litornry
society as held by that body yesterday
evening at Seely'e ball, and in spile of tit
stormy weather quite a large audience was
present. Distinguished citizens from Frog
Fond and vicinity also favored the meeting
with their presence, among the most note
worthy of whom were Albert, James, and
John Turner, Reint lVnenin, John and
Jake Tetere, and Dan Sass. The meeting
was railed to order promptly by Die presi
dent. The reading of the minutes of the
preceding meeting was followed by the elec
tion of officers for the ensuiiig term, which
resulted as lollows: President, John Tyler;
ice president Chas. Wagner; secretary,
Mine Flora Seely ; treasurer, Polph Crisell,
juarshall, Charles Seely; critic, Augusta
Schlickheiser. After the election came the
literary pngram, consisting of choice read
ing, recitations, etc, all of which were a
decided credit to the participants. Next
came the debate on the question, Resolved,
That geography is ol more benefit to the
human race llian arithmetic. Both sides
were led by i.oteti and eleuei)t orators,
Charles Seely leading the affirmative
and Archie Seely the negative. After a
lengthy and heated discussion the judges.
Messrs. Ira Seely, James Turner and Reint
Denenin, rendered their decisio'i in favor of
the negative.
hext came the spelling match to compete
for two cash priies given by C. T. Tooze to
the two heft sellers of the society. Several
of the members entered the contest and the
excitement ran high when it was found
what good spellers Wilsonville is favored
with. One by one, however, the scholars
slowly dropped out of the ring until only
two were left, Louis Haselbrink and Bert
Seely. Buth held the floor for a long time,
spelling the words as fast as Mr. Tooie
could pronounce them; but finally a jaw
breaking word found that Master Bert was
not the master of it, and he was forced to
give up the laurels to Louis Haselbrink who
received the first prize and Bert Seely the
second one.
The next meeting will be held a week
from next Saturday. A tine program has
. been arranged for the evening, consisting
of choice declamations, vocal music, etc., to
gether with a debate on the question, Re
solved, That the Chinese should be excluded
from the United States. Everybody is cor
dially invited to be present.
In the list of candidates for state and
county officers published in the Ektertsise
few weeks since, we failed to note the
name of 8. B. Seely of this place who has
been prominently talked of as being a proper
person to represent this county in the next
legislature.
We note that J. W. Meldrnm is a candi
date lor re-election. At this we are greatly
surprised, as Mr. Meldrnm has certainly
not given satisfaction, as was fully shown by
the indignation meetings held all over the
county about a year ago. If the republi
can party does not wish to snffer defeat in
this office they had better nominate some
popular man. It will be rather a bitter pill
to swallow to vote for a democrat, but there
are several staunch republicans ol this
place who will take just such a fill if Mr.
Meldrnm is nominated, as we are desirous j
of returning to the old system of working
the roads as soon as possible.

Some say the ground hog came out on
the 2d of February, saw his shadow and

know whether anybody ever saw a ground

A good many potatoes have been shipped

The literary society hail the finest meeting
last Wednesday it ever held. Singing, reel-

etc, were the order of exercises.
Politics are stirring more and more out
here. But so far the republicans haven't
done much In the w ay of holding meetings.
But it seems to be hardly necessary, for the
prospects for an immense republican major
ity were never brighter than they are now.
The people are niore than surfeited with
the democratic times we are having.
There was a eople's party meeting at
Meinig's hall last Saturday, but the crowd

office ami everybody here would like to see
him in the place. Reader.
