 The exercises on Children's day last Sunday by the young folks were quite in- teresting and creditably performed. Both churches. were tastefully decorated with flowers. .s !
 1"-It was Ofrin H. Weston, of Worces- ter, not Orrin H. "Holt, who was in town re ,antly.
 Mrs. Garrett Ladne died early last Sunday morning, after g long and distress. ing illness. Ds. Higgins was u attend- ance at her death. She was an industrious, good hearted woman, and had many friends in the vicinity. Rev. Mir. Thomp- son, of the Methodist chapel. Holland; con. ducted the funeral services Tuesday fore noon. The burial was in the new ceme- tery.
 If the old burying ground is neglected another year it will bid fair to lapse into a tangled thicket, as it did some years ago, when it was rescued from obliteration chiefly through the instrumentality of the late Amos Preston.
 The barn on the old Eldridge place near Daleville, occupied by Augustus Mil Ter, and owned by his daughter, Mrs. Mat tie Marcy, was struck by lightning during the hard thunder shower early last Thurs day morning and entirely consumed. Luck lily there were no cattle and hay inside. Insurance, $300.
 The Baptist church has extended a call to Rev. Mir. Smith, pastor of the church in Spring Hill. If he accepts, he cannot leave his present charge until July. Among the unsightly objects in the old burying ground is large fir tree lying prostrate4 over Gen. Orrin Holt's grave. -Grass has never been so abundant for years as 1t is this teason. All crops in this vicinity give unusual promise.
 ELLINGTON. Elder l.. 5. Goodeil will preach at Crystal Lake next Sunday at 30 D. m. praise serviye at 10 30 a. m. Sunday scht O! at 12 m. Crystal Lake Correspondence.) Our concert on Children's day, under 3AO 0A4OAOAU AA40A1kSCAAAUAAs OA 1AG6s Dimock, earnestly aided by others whom we would name did your space permit. was one of unusual excellence. Sweetly singing birds were there who did their best to assist in the mornlng service, the floral display was abundant and most beau tiful, the singing by the Dimecks' father and son Jour two organists), together with Mrs. Alfred Charter and the Misses Josie Dimock, Martha Aborn= and Eveline New ells was up 10 the Crystal Lake standard. and the audience filled the church, many coming from other, places. With regard t1 the recitations we may well speak in high prise. Mir. A. l.. Adams class re- cited the 23d Psalm very finely indeed, as did, also, Miss Josie Dimock's class the Beatitudes. Mrs. Eugene Neff's Mothers Boys" was equally pleasing. Four little | girls (in0iuding the twins, of whom I have written you before,) completely charmed us. Especially worthy of mention were three recitations, entitled ssThe Last Hymn," s:Rassipg Under! the Rod, ,"sand "The Changed Cross, rendered respect. ively by Miss Martha Aborn, Miss Josie Dimock and Miss Hattie Smith. Mir. Ad. ams made very timely remarks.
 @-As your correspondent has just re- turned home from weeks stay in Somers permit him to here express his hearty thanks to the many friends visited, by whom he was welcomed SO warmly and entertained so kindly. Let him also add that several upon whom he failed to call may be assured that lack of time alone prevented.
 The item of last week, copied from the Thompsonyille Press, about 'sthe el derly party from Square Pond, :" appear to us in exceedingly bad taste, especially as coming from the Ellington correspond ent; And, thens Crystal Lake is now ns mofA Square Pond. than the west part .o our town is Goshen Flats, as it once wa called.
