Close 10 TIE wall lies Rover
Holding ~ a blby's dress,

In perfect learleSsness
She stretched her tiny arms down.
But Rover held her fast
And never seemed TO mind the kicks
The tiny bare feet cast
So spitefuly upon him
But wasged bis tail instead.
To greet the frightened searchers
While naughty baby said
"Dere's a little dlrl In the water;

Judge Deming, | the superintendent of the Sunday school, in a neat little speech, presented $25 in gold to Miss Emma AcDonald, the soprano singer of the choir for the past year. The presentation was made on behalf of some of Mies Me- Donald's friends who raised the amount. Selectman I. E. Brown expects to start for Indian River, Florida, next week. He will | go to look after his extensive business inter- l ests there in connection with the New Haven Oyster company and will probably remain the balance of the season. Mrs. Brown will ! accompany him.
 The entertainment at the First church last
 night entitled ''The King and the Land oi ! Nod, !" which was repeated by request, was
 as successful as the original presentation.
 There was large attendance.
