Mrs. Harriet Albert, who is rooming 
‘at Mrs. Lations, Union street, suffered 
a shock Wednesday of last week, and is 
quite ill at the present time. 
The town reports and also the report 
of the finance committee were distributed 
about town on, Wednesday and the citi- 
ens have no doubt reviewed both by this 
time. 
Jt is evident that there is an abundance 
of eels'in Central Pond. A local fisher- 
man took 85 pounds from the pond one 
day this week, one of the fish weighing 
17 pounds.

home of T. A. Robbins, Bridge street, 
Sunday, when some papers on a floor 
that had recently been treated to a coat 
of japalac caught fire.

~ John Linehan’s horse being the first one 
to start the argument by appropriating 
several pages of the Town Warrant 
posted onthe Town hall building. Some 
of the articles swallowed, we are in- 
formed, the equine will find much 
difficulty in keeping down. According 
to the latest returns from Pride’s Cross- 
‘ing the equine politician has raised noth- 
ing, so our apppriation committee need 
not become unduly alarmed over.the in- 
cident. . This: happened yesterday. morn-

Editor NortH SHORE BREEZE: . 
I notice in the list of aspirants for town 
office the name of George E. Willmon- 
ton, for the office of Town Clerk, and it 
inspires me say a few words for his can- 
didacy. ‘The citizens of this town know 
as well as the writer that Mr. Willmon- 
ton has ability and legal knowledge to 
successfully carry this office to a high 
standard of approbation, and we are also 
aware thatthe present incumbent is equal- 
ly efficient, but the fact remains, name- 
ly: that new blood and young energy 
instilled ‘into the oface of Town Clerk 
will give to Manchester in the future a 
detailed transaction of all business per- 
formed at our town meetings, something 
that we have never received in’ the past, 
andalso the satisfaction that this office 
has kept up with the progressive spirit of 
our town. Now all things being equal, 
why not elect a young man, who can 
fulfil the requirements and also obtain 
the knowledge which will make him 
valuable to Manchester in years to come.
