In point of fact, I believe the price has averaged perhaps thirty or fifty cents above the minimum, yet even now I think it is an open question whether the grade of food is high enough for men who are leading a sedentary life.

In view of this the Overseers have passed a resolution to tear down the wooden building and the seats, grade the land, and fence in the whole field. No objection will then be made to the erection of seats, if they are neatly constructed, or even to a suitable building, if thought desirable. It is reasonable to hope, although we are not authorized to say so, that the Overseers will...
