The Childrens Day exercises at the
Methodist church. Sunday evening, were
of very pleasing and instructive charac-
ter and were much enjoyed by the large
audience. The parts of the younger child
rem were very cutely taken and produced
lots of innocent amusement among the
the spectators. The singing by the church
quartette was very interesting feature of
the entertainment and Was heartily appre-
ciated.
We chronicle with pleasure the marriage
Of two of our representative young people
in High street life, last Saturday evening At
the home of Rev. Mr.. Spencer in Water
vile. The happy couple are Mr.. Alpheu'
Gross and Miss Hattie Davis, both of
Oakland. The wedding gifts to the bride,
though not lavish in number. we're very
pretty and costly. The young people will
reside for the present at the home of A II.
Gross.
The high school sociable at Memorial
Hall Monday evening, was 4 gratifying
success in every particular. 10 the farce,
"A Box of Monkeys" all the characters
were very naturally impersonated, that of
Fred Wheeler as Chauncey being especial
ly good. Miss Belanger's Sierra" was
exceedingly graceful and the naivete of
Miss Bragg as Guinevere was refreshingly
ingenious. Miss Hsnscom and Mr.. Guy
Hubbard we're both appreciated heartily in
their parts of the play. The affair netted
from admission and sale of cream and cake
nearly twelve dollars and the young folks
are satisfied.
Owing to the inability of Miss Edith
Brann to be in Oakland every Sabbath the
quartet composed Of Misses Brann and
Mae Mccartney and Messrs. Andrews
ald Prentiss sang together for the last time
Sunday at the Methodist church. Thi.
is very much to be regretted a.
the denomination vii, fnd it bard to sup
ply their places. Miss Bra1n's sweet So
prano and Miss Macartney's charming alto
were well accompanied by the bass and
tenor of Messrs. Andrews and Prentiss re-
spectively and the audiences we're increas-
ing weekly in consequence of this harmo-
nious combination.
The accident to John Damrens team
some days since, causei by street ball play
ing in Haymarket square has occasioned
not little comment among our citizens -
to the legal propriety Of this sport. Mr..
Damren claimed no damages from the
town bat requested the selectmen to pro.
hibit ball playing in the public highways,
and vas told in reply that the boys had a.
much right to play ball ss jockeys had to
speed horses, and Mr.. DAmren vas COM
PEELED to swallow ''Hobson's choice" The
truth Of this observation, however. does no,
lessen the responsibility Of the "city faith
efs." Accidents have arisen from both
sources and their indulgence is clearly us-
lawful.
