Gals this week by offering our earnest
congratulations to Mr.. and Mrs.

possession ofpriceless value, viz: wee
daughter. The old saying, "Alter so

appropriately comes in here. May
they all long live to enjoy each others
society.
Decoration Day for 1885 is among
the scenes of the past. The exercises
at Stratford, conducted by the Robert
r. Thompson Post, q. A. r., were very
impressive and interesting, especially
the eloquent address delivered by JAS.
r. Remicll, Esq, of Littleton, N. H.
The excellent music furnished by the
choir and Stratford band deserve the
appreciation of those who listened to
it. The graves of our honored dead
patriots were kindly remembered by
appropriate decorations of flowers and
banners. How many noble brothers
fell in the. great rebellion, sacrifice
to their country! Peace to their sa-
cred dust.
Last Sunday, committees were chos
en- and arrangements made for good
time on Childrens Day, June IA. We
want to see the smiling faces of all
our little folks that day, that they
with pleasure may vie with the birds
and flowers that will welcome them in
great profusion on that occasion. All
old and young, are cordially invited
to come that day and fill the church.

named figure The sketches of incidents
of the siege of Paris We're more eagerly
bid for than the London sub eCts, but the

The base ball season was opened
here last week by IL match game be-
tween the Enterprise and Eureka
clubs, resulting in victory for the
latter by a score of 30 to 10. There
was considerab loose work on both
sides, but when the boys finally got
down to business they did some good
playing. The Enterprise club gave a
dance in the evening which was much
enjoyed by all present. The Eurekas
appear to be stronger than ever, and
we will risk them against anything
anywhere near their size that belongs
within reach of Island Pond.
