Town Treasurer Stanley of Man- 
chester, was in receipt of a substan- 
tial payment this week from the 
commonwealth in the shape of 
$59,757.85, which is the aggregate 
of the corporation and bank taxes 
paid to the town by the state. The 
corporation tax this year amounted 
to $52,886.69, and the national bank 
tax $6871.16. The tax which the 
town was called upon to pay the 
state this year amounted to $21,615, 
and this was paid a few days ago, 
too. The matter of handling 
amounts with four and five figures 
is quite common in the town treas- 
urer’s office. 
Frank A. Rowe, head clerk at 
Bullock’s grocery, is having a two 
week’s vacation. 
Comrade Dennis O’Sullivan of 
Allen Post 67, GAR, gave a very 
interesting informal talk Tuesday 
evening before the members of the 
SofV on his experiences as a 
marine aboard the Frigate Colorado 
during the Civil war. He described 
a raid made on September 16, ’61 
up the Pensacola river to the navy 
yard to destroy the Privateer Ju- 
dith. Before the boats reached the 
navy yard, they were fired upon by 
the Confederates and several were 
killed, but they succeeded in setting 
the ship afire and she afterwards 
drifted out and burned to the 
water’s edge. 
HK. P. Stanley’s license as auction- 
eer was renewed at last night’s meet- 
ing of the selectmen. 
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Danforth, 
life-long residents of Manchester, 
are to leave town in the near fu- 
ture, and will join their married 
daughter and family in Minneapolis. 
At their weekly session last night 
the selectmen placed their signature 
on a check for $40,000, in payment 
of a note for that amount given the 
Old Colony Trust Co., last spring in 
anticipation of taxes. 
The weekly meeting of Magnolia 
lodge of Odd Fellows last evening 
proved a very pleasant occasion, as 
there was a gathering of nearly fifty 
members out. Deputy Stone of 
Marblehead and Grand Marshall 
Sargent made an informal visit to 
the lodge and extended a cordial in- 
Vitation for the lodge to visit the 
Marblehead lodge on Wednesday 
evening, December 6th, when the 
First Degree will be worked on
