The Christian Endeayor society heiu
one of the most enjoyable religious meet
ings imaginable at the Congregational
church on Sunday evening. Henry Cap
ser led it in admirable form, and he had
arranged program which was OF high
order. Papers were read which reflected
great credit upon those who presented
them, notably poem by Miss Hannah
Petit. It was perfect success, and the
participants are entitled to great credit.
The enterprising firm of Geo. r. Whit
ney & Co. are great admirers OF paint
and printers ink. W. j. Whitefeld has
just finished neatly executed sign,
painted in black with white background,
on the chimney of the old steam mill on

caption in large Gothic letters which is
so literally displayed in the papers OF
the county, confirms the fact that Geo. K.
Whitney & Coz believe that it pays to
advertise.
Last week party of unknown men
passed throug the county with a team
and wagon. Until they reached the north
part of Hudson they had three horses,
one OF them being let loose near Mr..
Mains. The horse was found near Rob
ards Bros. farm and so rotten with CLAN
ders that man with half an eye could
tell it. 1t is needless to say that the horse
was shot. A term in jail should have been
the Transfers reward for bringing such
horses along the public road.-l Alexan-

On Saturday evening lively running
race was held on the road near the ran

little misunderstanding relative to the
first trial, but the race was won a sec
ond time, Berbun winning by neck. 1t
was an interesting race, and was wit
messed by large concourse of people. >,
