The musical entertainment given
by the Congregational choir drew out
a good audience, and netted $40,
which will be expended for new
books. The choir gave some excel
lent songs, solos, anthems. etc., and
provided excellent refreshments for
which they have the thanks of the
public. Mr.. and Mrs. Kindlund of
New York, who are stopping at Mr..
Nye's, gave a good piano and violin
solo.
The funeral services of Orrin, son
of I'll. f. Black, were held at the
house last Thursday, and attended by
large number of sympathizing
friends. Rev. VIM. Bacon officiated.
and the choir sang some beautiful Sc
lections. He was sick nearly three
weeks, with disease of the brain, and
almost from the first his physician
had grave apprehensions as to the
result. The most devoted attention
and skillful treatment from friends
and physicians proved of no avail,
and the bright and happy life went
out of the home circle. He was a
boy of uncommon promise, frank and
ingenious, active, and interested in
the home work, and already of great
assistance to his parents. At school
he was favorite with teachers and
scholars. He was constant in his at
tendance, and stood high in his class
es. Last fall he was a messenger in
the House of Representatives and SO
faithfully discharged his duties that
he won the appreciation of the men,
bers. While his friends so deeply
mourn his loss, what an unspeakable
comfort is the memory of his pure
and happy life.
