The skating rink at the bakery did a
thriving business till Saturday night, but |
the rain of Sunday raised the water in |
the creek to such an extent as to overflow
it. But the managers of the enterprise
are not discouraged and will have a
better rink than ever as soon as the water
falls little more.

The exhibition of the f lisor phono-
graph at the town hall on the AFTERNOON
and evening of Monday was interesting.
The hall was full in the evening. The
machine did all that was claimed for it,
reproducing with wonderful distinctness
records made by bands, soloists, vocal
and instrumental, and speakers. A solo
by DR.. Sheldon was easily recognized by
every one familiar with his voice.
The contract made by the trustees for
the electric light calls for 81 nights light
ing each month. As the bills thus far
show an excess of about 10 nights, the
trustees have decided to reduce the service

the light on clear evenings while there is
snow on the ground. 1t has been thought
best to do this by dividing each nights
service to cover two evenings, which
will give lights until about 0 o'clock
