in health.
This week completes the third month
of our winter school.
We are glad to see MI. and Mrs. J.

The usual sociable was attended by
the usual number at the usual place last

Owing to the abundance of snow,
and the lack of fuel, no services have been
held in the NJ. E. church for the past two
weeks.

st. Valentines Festival, at the Uni.

success. There was a large attendance
and q merry time. There was first instru.

The cupids were as bright and fair as
cupids could be. After an appropriate
address by the venerable saint, the shoot.
ing tor valentines began. This was ar
ranged so that the gentleman shot at one
board and the ladies at another. On each
board were hearts with corresponding
numbers. The person hitting heart was
given valentine, and the corresponding
numbers were valentines for each other.

girls presented each valentine as it was
won. The shooting was done, Of course.
with bows and arrows. After the shooting
there we're refreshments, and after that
the public reading Of valentines. The
reading caused much mirth. or, at any.
rate there was good deal of fun in the
air, about that time, about something.
One of the best jokes was on one of our
prominent bankers, 1t being declared in
the valentine, supposed to have been
written by him to his lady-love, that the
very thoughts of parting m ade him sweat.
Strange that man of his years should 80

up in good season, and all, as far as heard
from, went away feeling good, and the
treasury Of the church was enriched by q
