Pleasing Entertainments.


Next week there are to be two OPP
erettas at town hall, given mainly by
children. On Monday evening the new
operetta "Cobwebs" will be brought
out by about twenty boys and girls
who have for the past three weeks
been in drill by Misses Matthews,
Brown and Tyler. We are told by
those who have seen it, that this is a
very entertaining play, and that the
children do it nicely.
On Thursday evening, Saturday af-
ternoon and Saturday evening, the OPP
eretta ''Bopeep" will be given at town
hall under the auspices of the ladies OF
the Episcopal church. This too has
been gotten up with much care and
painstaking, and will no doubt be a
pleasant entertainment.

A Rare Animal.

Mr.. c. w. Graham has received quite
a rare animal for mounting the present
week. 1t is a fine specimen of fisher
cat, and was caught in Danville. These
animals are very seldom found in this
section, and their fur is quite valuable.
This specimen is going into Col. Fair
banks's cabinet. When skinning this
animal, Mr.. Graham took twenty two
porcupine quilts out of one of the hind
legs, several of them being in the joint.
1t is probable that this fellow once had
a combat with one of these needle
pointed animals, when he received these
missiles. 1t is a welI-established fact
that porcupine quilts are barbed, and
when they once puncture the skin they
work their way indefinitely. With his
limbs and joints filed with these quilts,
the life of the fisher must have been far
from happy. A short time since Mr..
Graham received three deer heads from
Ferd. Chase of Loon Lake, among the
Adirondacks, which he is mounting for
that gentleman. They are remarkably
fine specimens.

Shoplifting.

A girl by the name of Lapoint went
into one of our stores last Saturday and
purlOined costly dress pattern and
some nice trimming, which the mer-
chant soon missed. On Monday a sis
ter of this girl, desiring to know what
the dress pattern cost, having been told
various stories about it, came into the
store with sample of the goods. The
merchant recognized ut once something
looking like the lost goods, cut off a
portion of it, and after going about to
all the dry goods stores in the village
to see if there was any like it, and
finding none, took an officer and visited
the girl upon Maple street, where they
found the goods cut, and in process of
manufacture, as it was said the girl was
about to be married. The merchant
here also discovered the trimming,
which he had not previously missed.
The matter was settled by the girl pay
ing the amount demanded by the mer-
chant.

The New Bell.

0N@"
That was a funny case last Sunday
evening, when one of our citizens
thought he would attend church. Co
ing to one house he found no meeting
in session, so he started for another
place, but when nearly there he remem-
bered he had no money by him to drop
into the contribution box, and kind of
feeling as though he was out of place,
he started for home through the back,
unfrequented streets, when 10 and be-
hold he met a neighbor right there,
who had curiosity to know what
brought him into that vicinity. This
man, little dumfounded, hurridly re-
piled: "I-I came up to hear the new
bell ring" "Ah," said the neighbor,
"that explanation is a little too thin
We advise this brother to remember
his wallet next time he essays to go to
church.

While about his work his coat became

gearing. Being unable to extricate him
self, he whipped out his jackknife and
severed the coat, thus releasing himself
from very unpleasant and dangerous
position.

A very pleasant surprise came off at
the residence of Mr.. Oliver Coe, Satur-
day, Dec. a, it being the ffty-frst an
niversary of their marriage. Over sixty
of their relatives and friends met to
celebrate the occasion. Mr.. and Mrs.
Coe were little surprised at first, but
were not at all dismayed, and enjoyed
the occasion to the utmost. In due
time they were invited to the dining
room, where the tables were abundant
ly supplied with that which was pleas
ant to the eye and good for food. The
viands withstood all that were present
with still enough and to spare. The
company was then invited to the par
lor, and poem was read by their grand
daughter, Miss Kate Coe, and some nice
presents left as token of friendship.
The occasion was one of great pleasure
to all. Mr.. Coe lives on the old home
stead of his father, and is one of the
most successful farmers in town.
