Bradford.

The West Bradford people had their an
nual Christmas gathering Tuesday evening of
last week. Special preparations had been
made, and an attractive programme, consisting
of music Rotations. dialogues and charades,
was presented to an audience which filled the
church. Everything, without exception, was
well done, and the audience manifested its APP
probation in an emphatic manner at various
pontsin the exercises. The gifts were numer-
Gus, valuable and useful. Watch meeting
services Of an interesting and impressive char
acter were held at the Methodist church Mon
day night Rev. Allen Clark of the Congrega-
tional church in this place and Rev. A. J.
Howe of White River Junction, participating.
1.-The monthly union temperance meeting
occurred Sunday evening at the Congregational
vestry. The attendance was light, owing to the
storm, but earnest and practical remarks were
made by Rev. t. p Frost, Principal Cummings
and Ex-Governor Farnham. Friday evening
was bad time for the reform club, and but
few were out The veterans of the organiza-
ton we're most of them there, however, and
the evening passed off pleasantly. Speeches
were made by j. B. Pickett, Jr., and Others
80. Mrs. w. F. Cummings is gradually improv-
ing from the nervous and mental arrangement
caused by diphtheretic poison. Serious Or
ganic disease of the brain was feared for a
time. Her recovery is due the physicians say,
to the Cis medicdtri1 nature, but she says
wholly to the Lord. Mrs. Taplin, sister Of
Mrs Sleeper, on the South Plain, is quite i'll

his ice harvest rather abruptly. the heavy rain
on Thursday breaking up the ice on the river;
but with the help OF eighteen men and eight
horses, he filled his own and a few other Ice

changed pulpits last Sunday The annual
church meeting of the Congregational church
is to be holden at the Center church, in con-
nection with the preparatory lecture, next
Friday afternoon. .... Wednesday evening
prayer-meetings are being held at the acad-
emy Cooksville. Three meetings have been
held, with good attendance and interest Rev.
H. p. James Of the Center church and Rev.
Charles Davis from the Meadow Gree Bap-
tist) church are both interested. :. Hattie
Heath, daughter of Charles Heath OF Cooks
vile, was buried on Sunday December 49, 80.
Homer Kinney's health and sight have not
improved during the last month. Quite a
large number of the people OF Cooksvile and
vicinity went to Fast Corinth to attend the
Christmas exercises. A large company was
present The services were appropriate to the
occasion One thing noticeable was the great
number OF presents which the children re-
ceived, Deacon Joseph Knight of Newbury-
port, Mass, formerly of Corinth, has been WIS.,
iting his friends here. He returned on Sun
day of last week. David Dow, his father-in-
law, and Miss Quimby of West Corinth ac-
companed him. Joseph Worthley, an old
citizen of Corinth who has been at times in
sane, was buried few days since. William
Orr has returned to Corinth, and can be found
at his old place. A few months since he was
induced to go TO Bradford, but went away from
home. IF. p. Eaton and wife are visiting in
New Hampshire. &C. N. Winchester and wife
are visiting friends in the northern part of the
state. December 22d was a cold, bleak day,
with high wind from the northwest. De-
cember 23d the mercury stood at thrty-five
degrees below zero at eight o'clock A. NJ twen-
ty-tive below at ten, ten below at noon, and
sixteen below at six O'Clock p. M. Mrs Maria
Fellows is quite indisposed. >. At an early hour
Christmas eve the church at the Corner was
filed to overlooking, adjoining towns being
well represented. After prayer by the pastor
Rev. Mr.. Palmer, and singing by the choir,
there was speaking by the children. The chill
dren did remarkably well; all spoke very dis
tinctly and all had good selections; some few
OF the babies spoke, of which there was large
delegation. After the speaking the presents
were called off by c. Fellows, Who personated
Santa Claus, dressed in stars and stripes
Every one seemed well pleased with the enter
tainment. The large audience was very quiet
and orderly. The streams and wells were
raised little by the rain Of Thursday, but our
thaw was of short duration, for Saturday it
was blowing like hurricane from the north
west

Orange.-The Union church was the scene
OF pleasant gathering on Christmas eve
The trees were tastefully If not extensively de-
corated, the object seeming to have been to
gladden. the hearts OF the children and COM
memorate the birth of Christ in such manner
as to make lasting impression upon their
minds. The music was fine and the recita-
tions generally well-rendered. 1t will detract
nothing from the merits of the others IL we
mention the three children Of A. r. Nelson as
being worthy of the highest praise Not only
were the selections remarkably good and APP
propriate, but their clear sweet voices, so finely
trained to express the beautiful words they re-
peated, reached every ear and heart in the as
sembly, carrying with 1t the conviction that
" of such is the kingdom of heaven" -. On
Monday our town clerk, L. G. Peake, was
called away to attend the funeral of his father
John Peake, who died of pneumonia at his
home in Topsham last Friday. He was eighty
one years old, and was born and always lived
in this town till about a year previous to his
death. David Elmer, who resided in the
east part of the town. died last Saturday from
injuries received by the falling of a tree He
was Woodworking man, and leaves wife and
six children depedent upon the charity of the
town. Julia Noyes has gone back to Dr. H.
o. Worthen's 1t is hoped that the care and
medical treatment she will receive there will
speedily restore her to health. -. Nathan Hall
of WilliamstOwn recently visited friends in
town. The Orange dramatic club is about
to present the grand moral and temperance
drama entitled, Three Glasses a Day, or The
Broken Home" 1t has also supplied the town
hall with settles, the need of which has long
been felt by much-enduring public.
