of a night, sgivenin the fact that one
Of Morrisville pastors, returning the
other evening from q visiting tour
among his Pensioners, arrived Just
IN time for prayer meeting, and hitch
ed his team in the sheds, the buggy
having a goodly supply Of eatables
IN pies, cakes and bread. the thought
tul gift of some parishoner. After
service our Domino drove to the par
sonage and with no little hilarity
called for a light to aid in unloading
When 1T Was discovered that some
sneak thlethad made off with the pre-.
ciOus load.
A very successful falls work in our
village schools was closed by Prof.
Beebe and his corps of assistants on
tuesday. For two or three days the
customary public examinations in
the numerous classes were held and
as a closing event Il very enioyable
junior exhibition was held in town
hall in the evening. This was largely
attended and the quite lengthy pro-
gramme was carried out in a credit
able manner. A new feature was the
chorus of thirty or more voices with
Prof. Whipple as accOmpanist. The
quartette selections and solo by Miss
Jessie SlaytOn were excellent. The
Rotations and declarations were OF
the usual order, all doing their part
well, but perhaps more especially may
we mention Miss lla Niles in her
" Rizpah. " The winter term opens on
Wednesday, Dec 2, after a vacation
of two weeks.
MoRRIsvILLE BUILDING CLUB.-Mor-
risville has long felt the need of a
building association. TIE advanta-
ges of cooperative house building are
being appreciated more and more
by the rent-paying classes of our
New England towns, and it is high
time that the Industrious workers of
Morrisville be provided with a means
of saving the money which they now
pay for rent A meeting was held
last Friday evening at the office of
DR.. Robinson to discuss plans for in
creasing general interest in this
movement. Mr. H. NJ Rich was
elected treasurer to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr.. j.
c. Robinson, and DR.. j. A. Robinson
was appointed secretary. EX-Gov.
Hendee, president of the club, in a
few general remarks spoke of tbs
great benefit which the club could be
to Morrisville, if our people would
take an active interest in it's pro-
gress. 1t is to be hoped that our
citizens will make a success of this
enterprise by their hearty cooper
alton.
THE CONCERT = Words of praise
come from all sides for the Walter
Emerson Company in their concert
as given here last Thursday evening.
The house was filed and the large
audience seemed to fully recognize
and appreciate the mastery ability
of each member of the company in
their speciality 1t was not from any
cause but unanimous wish for still
more of each artist that every MEM

an encore, and the ready and untir-
ing response was also a point in their

satisfied all that his reputation as
such was no myth. Miss Fowler
pleased all with her matchless ease
and grace, and above all the natural
ness attending her work as a Dra-
matte reader. In Miss Webb the com
pany has a wonderfully gifted little
lady Her violin solos will undOubt-
edly rank equal with the great Ca

Miss Babcock did not disappoint, her

good. Mr.. ShOnet as a pianist has a
tenderness of touch in execution well
nigh phenomenal, while his work as
an accompanies seemed faultless. AL
together this concert is pronounced
one of the very best entertainments in
this or any previous lecture course.
The next entertainment is by Col.
Balm, of whom the last issue of the
Caledonian speaks very highly, Date
