The entertainment given by the young

spect. The musical part of the program
was of high order, our local talent being

proceeds we're entirely satisfactory.
No one will question but that the vii
lage of Bellows Falls is wealthy and
Influential corporation but for all this ap-
pearances seem to indicate that the erec-
ton of one or two poles, the striDging Of
| few rods of wire and the maintenance
of an extra light which might shed a
few rays upon neighboring town was
an expense to large too be given any seri-
Gus thought by the aforesaid corpora
ton ; the town of Westminster can more
easily afford to spend thousands to build
bridges and highways, the larger part of
the benefit of which goes to help build
up the business of said corporation. The
Whole case is well illustrated by the fol-
lowing story: ga conductor in the en-
ploy of a certain railroad applied to the
superintendent of the road for pass.
The last named official turn upon the
conductor with considerable disdain say
ing, Sir, if | owned livery stable
would be obliged to furnish you with
team?' The conductor replied, No,
sir, but if you were going the same way
aud refused to give me a ride l should
call you id hog!"
chicken pie supper will be given in
connection with the entertainment, "rhe
Dreamer's Vision" on Friday evening.
The proceeds are for the benefit of the
new seats for the church which ought to

ally patronized. The following are the
