LINcoLN.-The young men of this
place for few weeks past, have been
devising some plan to know whether
stove-pipe hats were ITO be or not to
be-" and accordingly, Santa Claus was
consulted privately, and arrangements
were made to have a grand rally at the
Christmas tree when said articles were to
be distributed in connection with other
bountiiul gifts mentioned, the 9TH inst.
But alas deusive hope anxious hearts
awaited their arrival in vain, as Santa,
with his precious boon, was twenty-four
hours in the rear; but cadies came at
last. and after private consultations, and
running to and fro to the establishment Of
the unintiated, it was decided that hats
must take the first degree at Lincoln Sum-
dag the 9th day Of Jan 1878, and as the
day was favorable for initiation the hon
orary degrees were conferred upon Santa's
favored few of one dozen of men as they
sal led forth to church, and we trust they
may be true to their pledge and be an
honor to themselves and the community.
The singing school under the tution of
Prof Smith is prospecting nicely. About
sixty were in attendance Wednesday even
ing.
Thirty or more Of the enterprising peo-
pie of Lincoln attended the donation at
Starksboro the Sth inst were cordially
received after their long but pleasant
sleigh ride Report says that Rev. N.
G. Parker received two hundaed and fifty
dollars as the result Of this social gath

Since voting all the modern books out
Of our school, and finding the old ones are
out of print, makes it quite difficult to
run our school on the square Vermont

er whose very name, as well as his own
estimation is sufficient for the purpose,
we hope that we can procure the nccos-
sary books We also wish to procure at
least one book that has the old story Of
William Tell, as we think some Of our
sons could be induced to commit that to
memory so as to rehearse it at the grand
exhibition, at the close, to edily numcr.
