The Morrisville Foundry Co. has
just completed the finest pillow ever set
up in their shop, and think we might
safely say the best ever put together
in Vermont. 1t is a No. 5 Eureka,
with all late Improvements and is to
be placed in the window Of the new
store of Kendall & Whitney, of Port
land. Me-, one of the largest concerns
in that city. The castings we're fin
ished and put together by E. H. Stone,
the lettering done by W. w. Talbert
and the job paid for by Livingston
& Kenfield, the proprietors. 1t may
be seen at Hendee & Fisk's office for
few days.
Conductor Chas. Ranny, the cham
pion pie eater and vegetable turnover
"masher," has struck new vein of
mischief. His rage seems to be for
fish to that extent that he scoops
them in" ten pounds at meal, net
being content with what Bing. furn-
ishes cooked. He has been known in
daylight TO lift and capture a good
sized cod, but he could not sly it off
to Swanton by marking it to Mrs.
Ranny. Now if you don't let up,
Charles, on your tricks we are going
to report you 10 Maj. Waterman, tie
Secretary of the Hat and Cap Co., for
he knows just what course TO pursue,
especially when he has Fred Keller TO
help him. -

The representation of an old time
district school, novel entertainment,
is to be given by the Congregational
society at the Town Hall on Monday
evening next, Feb. ID. 1t will, with
put doubt, provide an evenings enter
tainment which will be much enjoyed.
There are a large number of charac
ters represented and the entertain
nent will probably take an hour and
a half or two hours time. Mr.. Hen
dee will be school-master and many
Of our business men and several wo-
men who went TO school years ago
will attend as scholars, and all lively.
Come out and hear Keturah, Belindy,
Obediah, Zedekiah and others read
and spell and recite, and speak their

The concert Monday evening by
Mr.. Frances Walker and Miss Carrie
Daniels, was very well received by the
large audience which crowded the
Town Hall. Mr.. Walkers singing
was all it was represented to be, ex-
cellent in ali respects, and the recita-
lions by Miss Daniels we may safely
say were the best that were ever heard
in this section. "Bobolink" was es-
peciallv good. The selections were
many of them very difficult, but were
rendered in a manner which reflected
great credit upon the performers, and
we venture to say that should they
ever appear in this vicinity again
their audience will be limited only by
the capacity of the hall. The final en-
tertainment of the course will be
lecture by James X. Applebee on
March 18th.
