For some time there has been a reaction in America against the early custom of the English settlers in superseding the Indian names of places. The process of restoration, however, does not promise to be an unmixed good. A newspaper, published in the region of Lakes Memphremagog and Winnepesaukee, rema r ks that “the fish in Lake Holleohunkemunk, Maine, are superior to those of either Lake Weeleyobacook or Moosetockmegantno. Those of Chauhungogungamaung were very fine, but they got choked to death in trying to tell where they lived.” A correspondent of the “Inverness Courier” states that a precenter of a Free Church has been suspended from his office for three months for dancing a reel at his son’s wedding.
