WESTERN MAN, who had been inquired

him in contact with his fellows; but for a

WINoosKI 90 An immense gathering
thronged the parors of the Congregational
church to their fullest capacity, Friday
evening, 1t being the occasion OF the neck
tie sociable, which proved in svery partlcu-
lar brilliant success. The attendance
from Burling ton was unusually large. One
of the best features of the entertainment
was the very acceptable singing, in which
several Darlington students assisted with
ability. The readings by the Rev. G. W.
Thompson Miss Nellie Cole and Miss Hattie
johnson, were remarkably we'll given. AT
the supper table the merry making assem-
blage placed itself outside of numerous good
things in a credtabie manner. ID uring the
evening, two Burlington " bloods' were
seen lacking about bearing the unmistaks-
BILE signs of alcoholic happiness. As long
| as they caused no public disturbance their
presence was tolerated. But at about ten
| O'Clock the village was started by an alarm
of fire, and on investigation it was found
| that the two drunken Bur!ingtonians had
rang the church bell. The names OF these
Young men will cot be published, but they
NAV rest assured that they are known
