celebration met at the rooms of the Vet
eran Firemsn's Association last evening.
There was a good attendance and con-
gratulations were In order. President
Wilmarth presided. The records
OF the previous meetings were presented
by Secretary Crawford complete In a vol
ume for future reference. There was con-
siderable talk regarding the excellent
manner In which the various committees
carried out their work, and 1t was unani-
nous that every detail was carefully at
tended to. The committee voted to pay
all bills presented and wish those who
did not present theirs last evening would
do so Immediately.
II Is pleasant to state that, as much of
success as was the celebration, SO was the
financial part of the programme. Treas
urer Dunham will now be busy for a few
days making out checks. The committee
will retire with a clean record.
or For Camp Brown.
The members of Company O., Second
Regiment, II. 1. M, are busy preparing for
Camp Brown next week. This, one of
the oldest organizat ions In the State
militia, will go into the weeks service in
a most excellent condition. For several
weeks past Captain Lythgoe has been
holding largely attended drills, several
of which have been out of doors, and
which have been beneficial to the men,
bers. The company is ofiicered by three
well known militia servants of the State,
OF whom have risen from the ranks
Of private to their respective present po-
sitions. The members have been propi-
nent factors In bringing about the ex-
cellent condition of the command, and
will make an appearance at camp favora-
BILE with any In the State and OF which
Central Falls may well feel proud. The
detail will leave Monday morning, and
upon the arrival OF the boys at the camp
| every thing will be In readiness. Captain
| Lythgoe Is now sure OF taking 40 muskets,
| two musicians and three officers, which
will average with any of the regiment.
This year they will not entertain so many
friends on account of the new location
although few will visit them. Their
baggage will be shipped overland as be-
fore by B. Kirk, who will start Sunday
night In order TO be In camp when the de-
tail arrives. With good weather, the boyt
anticipate a pleasant time, and plenty oi
| work.
Local Postofice Notes.
II was reported In this village yesterday
| afternoon that a new appointment of To-
| cal postmaster had been made but It was
| a rumor which is nearly now threadbare,
having 80 many times been purely street
talk. While the change may or may not
come soon, 1t is fact that nothing official
is as yet received, and now Mr.. Bowen is
conducting the business Just as though
no change had been made In the admins
| tration.
Today the examination under the civil
| service law Is being held at the rooms OF
| Business Mems Association by the local
commissioner, for carriers and clerks.
Vacations among the letter carriers have
begun, and Carrier Valcourt is enjoying
his at Whitinsville and elsew here, among
| relatives. The substitutes, which were
previously well broken In under the direc-
tion of Superintendent Hillard, are doing
| good service. Business In general at this
| Office is excellent, and on the increase.
A Canary Causes Trouble.
On Clay street Friday afternoon pet
canary obtained It's freedom and few into
a neighboring tree. II is safe to say that
twenty women soon gathered and each
gave a different method of capturing It.
Finally a young lady stated that she would
climb the cherry tree and secure 1t. When
birdie heard the last remark IL few away
In the direction Of High street, and there
was weeping.
