place last Saturday night. The play en-
titled Under the Laurels" Was we'll
received, the characters being well taken.
1t was followed by a farce, Don't
Judge by Appearances" which vas full
of fun and eXcellently rendered. Prof.
White and wife furnished the music,
which WAS of a high order.
The following idea was "got off" by
Warren NOyeS, a sev~en->ear.Old, at
school the other day. The teacher had
been questioning the scholars on the
names of the different states, as for in
stance, why is New Hampshire called
the Granite State ?' and Vermont the
Green Mountain State ?" to all of which
correct answer we're given, until asked
= Why is New York called the Empire
State ?" No one seemed to know.
Presently up came Master Warren's
hand. Il know" said he. Well"
said the teacher, You may tell"
d" Because its a large state and goes
Democratic :" replied the youth. 1t Is
very evident that Warren gets his polit-
ical instruction from his Father NOyeS,
and not his Grandfather Kelley.
Shall we have a band in this village?
That is a question in which ali should
be interested. In these days every live
community has its band, and this town
cannot afford to be behind others in this
respect. The Hyde Park Band, which
has tmoStly by its W e%fforts) mana ed
to keep alive up to this time, has dis
banded. But we are informed that
there are others who are willing to revive
it if they are sufficiently encouraged.
Consequently a meeting for this purpose
will be held at the Town Hall Thursday
evening at seven O'Clock. AllintereSted,
musicians and citizens, are urged to be
present and discuss the matter. Let no
citizen think this is of no interest to
him and stay away, but be on hand and
give the meeting the benefit OF your
opinion.
