ROCKINGHAM.

A series of social assemblies are be-
ing given at L. C. Lovells hall, which
thus far have been very pleasant and
successful The music is furnished by
Keene Quadrill band, G. B. Wheeler OF
Bellows Fails and G. Il. Holton of
Keene, prompters, and is very excel
lent, and certainly not surpassed by any
similar band in this section. The fact
that they played four nights last week
including one at Middlebury and one at
Brandon, besides at Rockingham and
one at Gilsum, n H., well shows the
demand in which they are held. The
suppers on these occasions, served by
mine host Lowell, have been excellent
and up to the style of more pretentious
houses. The next Of the series will be
held Thursday evening Feb. 10.

The Winter OF 1897.

The peculiarities Of the present win
ter have brought out memories and old
records, by which it must be conceded
that this winter is not altogether UMPIRE
cedented and in fact is not so remarka-
BILE in all respects as some other winters
within about half century. VIM.
Hale, Esq, formerly ofthis town, Bartons-
vile, now of Essex Junction, writes us
as fellows of the winter of 1887:
My father moved from Grafton to
Rockingham Zone mile below Bartons-
willie, the first of March, 1926. About
the 10th we had the biggest freshet ever
known in that region, carrying away
