a large tent used at the out door meet

conjunction with Comrade Hutton's
tent for the kitchen department, made
a complete outfit for Memorial Day
entertainment, especially rainy day.
Elmer B. Abbott was down from St.
Johnsbury for few hours on Memo
rial Day.
The G. A. r. exercises were all that
could be desired, although rain fell
nearly all day large crowd was in
at enhance. The Seminary hall was
packed more than comfortably full,
and the programme as published last
week was fully rendered. The adj

pirate for the occasion and the singing
of war songs by the choir, and in fact
everything, the weather excepted, was
pronounced o X. The stores and

a garb of patriotism. Many words of
praise were spoken for the women of
Newbury for the bountiful supply of
well served food which made the &C.
casion enjoyable.

Cured. The body was not taken from
the water until about five p. m. This
untimely death of a most promising
young man was terrible blow to the

Seminary and would have graduated,
had he lived, on the day now appoint
cd far fr1n hoe n

widespread sorrow, and the bereaved

and heart. We can ill afford to lose
such character on the very threshold
