The sugar party at Adams hall last
week was an enjoyable occasion, aud was
participated in by good number OF the
village people. The exercises of the
children were a decided success. In the
temperance dialogue the parts were woll
sustained, and tho song Temperance
boys aud girls are we" was sung by all
the children with an ardor that left no
