A PLEASANT AFFAR.-The excursion TO
Newbury last Friday over the Wells River
Railroad, was an exceedingly pleasant affair,
and was participated in by about eighty of
our citizens Leaving hero about one o'clock
in the afternoon, the train proceeded lesurely
along, reaching Newbury at four O'Clock. The
ride was thoroughly enjoyed by all present, to
a great majority of whom this was their first
trip over the road. Arrived at Newbury, the
party were speedily transferred to the Spring
Hotel" where they found excetept quarters
and ample accommodations. al
After partaking of a tip top supper, the
dining-room was cleared for dancing, which
was kept up without intermission, except "a
few moments for refreshments, to the inspiring
music of Houses full band, until three o'clock
in the morning, at which time those of the
party who desired to reach home early, took
the train to Montpelier, arriving here safely
about half past six o'clock.
As VIC previously mentioned, this was, to
most Of the party, their first visit to the justly
famous Spring House," but we think il safe
to predict that il will not be the last, as long
as they prove as pleasant and thoroughly en-
joyable as this one; and while the hotel re-
mains under 1t its present competent manage
ment, 1t is probably safe to say that mere will
DO no falling oil In tho pleasure Of visiting
there. ~ ~

EASTERN STAR MASONRY There seems to
be so little known of the Order of the Eastern
Star, which was referred to in a recent article
in this paper, that wish to give to your read
ers little more light on the subject. Ii is a
system Of Adaptive Masonry, by which ladies
are said to be adopted into the Masonic Com
munion. and the ceremonies, and lectures Of
instruction, which constitute the system, are
called the Adaptive Rite
Various secret societies for the admission Of
women, were formed in France, early in the
seventeenth century, many Of which have been
introduced into the United States, from time
TO time but none have seemed to possess the
elements Of permanency, except the Order Of
the Eastern Star, which was established in
this country early in l776.
Through this rite, ladies who are connected
by marriage or certain blood relationships with
Master Masons in good standing, are entitled
to all the benefits Of Masonry equally with the
brotherhood. Through it they are enabled to
express their wishes and give satisfactory evil
dence of their claims in manner that no
stranger to the Masonic family can do.
There are five beautiful degrees, belonging
to this order, each having its appropriate sign,
pass, etc, and many women have been com
iorted in affection, and relieved in distress
through the silent, but ever yigiant care OF
the guardian lodges. >.

The cold term now prevailing seems quite
as persistent as the warm, thawy weather Of

light covering Of snow, is creating trouble with
many water aqueducts. February % has rarely
been equalled in former years for extreme cold

below zero.

ciety, Rev. p. N. Granger, gave lecture on
temperance at this place, on Thursday evening
last Mr.. Granger deseryedly ranks among the
abest and most efficient lecturers ION this, his
favorite theme) in the country. The attendance
was very meager, indicating, no doubt, lack
of interest in the subject of temperance by oul
community. Third-rate travelling showmen are
better patronized, and it is believed they fail &c
get rich from the proceeds Of their exhibitions
here, especially the present season.
