tion bestowed on the preparations for the
bail at Browns Hall last Tuesday even
ing, given under the auspices of st Johns
Lodge +. a. & NJ. resulted in its being
In many respects the most successful
event of the kind, financially and other
wise, that has occurred here ina long
time. The hall was filled, to an uncom-
Portable degree almost, the party goers of
the town being out in force. The music
was decided improvement upon that
furnished for some time past by the
string band, and the hall itself, through
the efforts of the lodge members and the
ladiesof the refreshment lcommittee pre-.
scented a handsome appearance, the regalia
OF the order being tastefully used to
decorate the walls. Ice cream and lemon.
AIDE tooths, and the sale by little girls of
button hole boquettes were agreeable
features of the affair, Supper was serv-
ed at the Masonic Hall on Lacour st.
where the ladies of the refreshment
committee had taste fully prepared and
set out about as good meal as can be
prepared in this section. This hall also.
was decorated with portion of the
Chapter regalia, and the Supper part of
the entertainment was as intended, to be
complete success, due entirely to the
untirng and energetic labor Of the ladies
OF the refreshment Committee. Dancing
was continued at Browns Hall until day
light, all present apparently enjoying
themselves.
A HERMIT For three months past a
strange man has lived in a tunnel or
dug out east side of the limestone noun
tain over the head of Meadow Valley st.
within view of the Bullionville road.
He is rarely seen but is said to be tall and
heavily bearded The dirt from his ex-
cavation is thrown up in the form of a
barricade at the entrance to the place
where he has double door with two
small windows or peep holes When
first noticed some time ago he was
observed bathing Or nursing one of his
legs as though wouned. His actions are
decidedly suspicious. Who and what is
he. Is he wanted any where?
A Bottle of Trib should be in every
household.
