The GfIfIIan-DoIe Weddine,

Miss Calista A. Dole and Charles
J. Gilfillan of Barnet were married
on the evening of Dec. Is at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joel Dole. Rev. Walter Dole of Barre
officiated. At the close of the cere-
mony a reception was held at which
the bride and groom received the
ratu1a atiOuS of their many rela-
tives and friends. The guests hav-
ing enjoyed the wedding cake and re-
freShments two hours were passed in
dancing and in general festivity
About one hundred people were pres
ent from Danville and Barnet and
they will remember the evening as
the occasion of one of the most de-
lightful home weddings it has ever
been their good fortune to attend.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilfillan were the re-
cipients of many valuable and beau
tiful gifts. They started at once for
Lake Village, N. H., where they will
reside for the present.
Christmas Festivities.
The Christmas tree entertainment
given by the Congregational church
and society at the town hall, was
! largely attended and all present re-
port a very enjoyable time. The af-
| ternOOn and early evening were taken
| up with the sociable and supper; this
was veritably a feast and the ladies
are to be complimented on their sue
cess. There was a short program of
music by the choir and recitations by
the young people, after which came
the distribution of the presents. Two
trees were well filled, there being in
addition many packages on the plat
form. If one can Judge from the
laughter and general hilarity, it. is
evident that the children, as well as
those older, went home in high spir-
its. This is the first gathering of the
society with their friends since the
new pastor, Rev William H Stuart,
came to Danville. In his remarks
| Mr. Stuart expressed the thought OF
many of the people when he said he
wished they could have a sociable
every two or three weeks; the more
of such gatherings the better.

THE VILLAGE REPORT.

The annual report of the village
officers is in the hands of the printer
and will be issued before the meeting
next Wednesday. This year the vii
lage authorized a tax five per cent
larger than usual. This five per cent
amounts to about $4,000. With
this increased tax the trustees deem
ed it wise to make more permanent
improvements than usual, some of
which seemed imperative for the
health of the place. Prominent in
this expense is $50 feet of new sewer
laid of this the Main street sewer
was the larger item, costing $176O.
There has also been 9,11O feet of
new sidewalk put down, 1926 feet
of which is cOncrete) at q cost of
nearly $4,000, and 22O feet of East
ern avenue macadamized at a cost of
$40. All these are permanent i'm
provements, and although expensive
it was work that in the Judgment of
the trustees was advisable to do at
this time. The only other large bill
which has not heretofore appeared
in yearly reports is the $114 month
which the village voted at a special
meeting to pay for electric lights in
the streets. Another year still fur
ther improvements must be made.
The large sewer which empties into
| the pond near Portland street is in a
| bad condition and the health of the
place demands that some means be
devised to abate this nuisance. 1t
is also believed to be the general senti-
ment of the village that more per1na-
nent work be done on the streets,
and if the macadam introduced on
the avenue proves what is generally
expected, doubtless this work will be
continued.
The total expenses of the village
for the year 1889 have been as fol
lows

lish. He had in his possession an
old and valuable pair of glasses
known as the Martha Washington
glasses. The officers, learning of
their value, made him several offers
but he refused to sell them at any
price.
The year just closing has been
one of general health in this town.
There has been no epidemic and but
little sickness. While diphtheria,
scarlet fever and typhoid have been
a scourge in many places, this town
has been comparatively free from
these diseases. Is it not quite posi-
BILE that the system of sewerage
adopted by the village some years
ago has much to do with the good
health of the place.

GIFT TO IA THEIR BOISSONNA UT.

The old Catholic church was a
scene of surprise and pleasure Christ
mas eve. The house was nearly fill
ed with members of the parish when
Il committee waited on Father Bois-
sonnault and conducted him to the
church and through the audience to
the platform. Here he was confront
ed by Edward Fitzpatrick and David
Frechette, each of whom addressed
him-the former i'll English and the
latter in French-after which Joseph
ROderer and Thomas Belanger came
forward with an overcoat which
they put upon him. Father Boisson-
nault was taken completely by sur
prise and was much affected. He re-
sponded appropriately and feelingly
speaking of the unity of the two ma
tionalities as giving him more pleas
ure than the gift itself. Further re-
marks were made by John Mcdonald
and Michael Mccormick, chairman
of the meeting, after which pleas
ant social was had. The coat pre-
sented was an elegant English beaver
lined with mink fur, and is Il choice
