Prairie mostly, made
SURPRISE VISIT
to Mr.. and Mrs jerks, very thoughtfully
bringing their dinners with them. As
there was more than they all could eat for
dinner. some of the party very consider.

might be lost.
THE TIN WEDDING
Of Mr.. and Mrs. H. J. Dunton was duly
celebrated ehort time ago, and the mag
ni6 cent tin bracelets that were presented
by W. D. Davis will no doubt long be re-
membered BY the grateful recipients
oHR1srMAs TREE,
on the evening of the Oath ult. at the
church, blossomed ind bore fruit for the
assembled multitude, like all the rest Of
that class Of trees. A New England sup
per at. Deacon Walkers was we'll attended
and we'll enjoyed. Quite party went
from here to the Gr ange Festival, at Fair
Haven. and enc Of them reported that he
had = "heavenly tine," SO judge that
everything went of lovely. The dinner
was good, the songs were stylish, though
We could not understand the words dis.
tinctly, and the speeches were excellent.
espe oially Elder Watkins essay, in which
he excelled himself. It Was scholarly,
witty, satlrical and poetical, without any
Of the egotism which some Of the Rev.
gentlsmsn's friends give him credit for.
1t is just possible that there might have
been some better arrangements about
seating the guests. but it is the first time
they ever tried any thing Of the sort, and
it would be strange if they should get ell
the arrangements perfect. Yet it vas a
little laughable to hear some one call on
the Aaster Of a neighboring Grsng. ian in
vited guest, and send him to sall an out
slider and middleman to dinner, while
the said Master waited till the third table.
Of course it was not intentional but purely
accidental, and therefore laughable. 1t
takes practice to handle crowd at such q
place.
THE MAINE PRAIRIE EXHIBITION
on Friday evening went off very we'll in
deed, especially when you take into consid-
Grafton the short time the performers had
for practice. The music was furnished by
the Clearwater folks. Instrumental by the

Jail in search Of . parent who had been
drinking and had committed q crime. Next

fit. Next q song by the whole company

funeral dirge.
