PERU.

One word in regard to the dance
which occurred at the school house
hall in Dist. No. 4; will say that it
has always been understood that the
hall should not be rented for any en-
tertainment of the kind. We have
lived up to this until quite recently
when some gentlemen Tor rather those
who style themselves such)persuaded
the school committee who had no bus
mess to rent the hall for dance,
to let them have it for this purpose
He likes to please every one, but the
larger portion of the District were
not in it's favor, the ladies more es'
pecially. 1t was decided that the hal
should be locked against it. Some OF
our promising gentlemen obtained
ladder, broke hall window, gained
entrance, and had their dance. Tc
all appearances, they look ashamed OF
their doings. And some, | fear
are like poor "Tray" who was caught
in bad company.
If our friend who wrote the piece
wishes for dances, let him open his
house for that purpose. He seems
to slur his brother church members
calling upon them to wake up and bt
alive, l think there is need enough
of it. People in glass houses SHOULD
not throw stones.
