RECOl I.RCT10N OF ANOLD TI MER
Woodstock does not seem to bethe
?Voodstock it was forty years "go. I
iee many changes. I miss I. ny
mildingfi of that day, among '
rown nail which old people told I I
ised to be the moricst hoOSS. I wr ?
ituated in what was called Market
? but is now Court street, a * ?
eet only East ot Main street. My
irst recollection of it is that it was an
ibandoned market house, with hooks
or meat along the side, but used only
or a meeting place for boys on holi- j
lays, or a nesting place for hogs and
eese. The rear end was used as a
?all alley where men who have since
?ecome distinguished in both civil and
lilitary life, spent many afternoons
a playing the then popular game of
'hand-up "
Later, our city fathers, we had city
athers, in those days, whose authority
as supreme, realized the need of a
'own Hall. The old open door wajs
ere partly filled with brick and con
erted into windows; a new ftoOTWOB
ut in, a platform about 16 inches
igh at one end of the room, benches,
tove &c, were provid"d, and for
ears in ante bellum davs it was used
y the debating society of the town,
nd by travelling troupes who there
ave concerts. For a while it was used
sa daguerrean gallery,photographs
eing then unknown. Later a shed for
toring fi-e apparatus was erected at
ie East end.
After the war, the town treasury Hk?
ie pockets of the citizens, was very
ght and as whisky selling was a very
rofitable business, an active young
ian rented the Town Hall, as a bar
oom. As is frequently the case, tbe
usiness flourished and little respect
as paid to the time of niRht, so long
s the customers would remain.
I well remember tho night or rather
lorning when nearly all had left the
ar room?one old citizen sat dozing
1 a chair, another was talking to the
rourieter awaiting the arrival of
ome belated guest with whom he
oped to unite in a social drink, when
uddenly, with a mighty up-roar, the
right Hashim? e?f rockets terrified the
imates, large stones destroyed the
indows, and doe?r, shattered the
ottles and furniture and made a wreck
f tho place. The cry of fire and
lurder did not check the onslaught
ntil the destruction was complete.
'hen the assailants scattered. Dutch
emn found refuge in a well near the
tn-yard where he earnestly prayeel
>r deliverance declaring that tho well
as full of water up to the bottenn,
the others bf circuitous routes
sschsd their rsspsctirs homss. The
BSUlt was that the saloon was entire
i broken up. The iast I heard of
ie proprietor, he was out west preeeh

TO SUBSCRIBERS.
By a recent law of the Post Office
Department, publishers of weekly
rs will be compelled to place
postage stamps on all papers sent to
subscribers who are in arears as much
as t wei ve months. This will cost
publishers about 52-cents per year. It
ls very evident that they cannot rfford
te> pay this amount. We have been
willing to extend credit to all of our
subscribers who, we believed, would
pay at some convenient season. We
now request all to examine the dates
(ring their names and we feel
confident that they will be unwilling to
subjf ct us to the additional cost. A
prompt remifiance will save us the
cost I f sending a bill. Please give
this lubjset your attentie>a and your
remittee will be thaakfuUyreceived.
