world, have brilliant evenings for holt
day recreation and amusement.

tended at the Congregational Church,
on the 3lst Services by Rev. Mr.. Wood
ruff of East Hardwick.
The steam mill company met with
another severe loss last week. in the fall
ing of their smoke stack. The cost of
putting it to its former position is esti-
mated at from 5000 to $500. The ac-
cldent was caused by the falling of
pile of slabs which -workmen were re-
moving, and were carelessly digging them
from the bottom, thus causing the pile,
which was some 80 feet high. to fall,
breaking the guys in the descent. The
stack fell across the roof of the mill, do
ing some damage to that, besides demol-
ishing about one third part of the stack.
Experience is dear teacher, as the Co.
