The Young Aids of the Unitarian So
eiety placed SIP 10 the bank, as the re-
suit of their successful mask ball. The
proceeds go toward building the long
desired church parlors. Comstock's Or
chestra furnished the music. and gave
a concert at the opening. Many from
neighberir g towns were present, and the
number of particiF ants in disguise was
more than on any previous occasion.
Nothing like the storm of Monday has
passed over this portion Of New Hamp-
shire since the blizzard of 1888. In some
respects it was worse than that, for al
though the body of snow falling was
lighter, the incessant gale made travel
almost impossible. Trains were irregu-
lar, and fl ON three in the morning until
night a fierce gale was blowing from the
northwest. The schools were not in ses-
sion; the milk-carrers were unable to
reach customers; the G. S. Bond works
remained idle, and it was nearly noon
before roads and walks were cleared.
The day was in every way most disagree
able, and one to be long remembered.
George w. Hoyt, father of Charles w.
Hoyt, died in Boston February II, at the
age of 60 years, 10 months and 20 days.
Mr.. Hoyt had for years been an invalid.
suffering from peculiar form of rheu-
matism. Recently he sustained the frac-
ture of limb, and coming so closely
after the sad event of the death of his
sons wife, he did not rally from the
severe shock to his enfeebled system.

town and the funeral services took place

church, the services being conducted by
Rev. j. S. Lemon, acting rector OF the

of roses, Easter lilies, lilies of the valley,
tuberoses al d ivy. The remains were
placed in the tomb where, but few
weeks ago, the beautiful Flora Walsh"
SO suddenly taken from earth, was left
amid the flowers love showered upon her.

of esteem and sympathy were Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene Tompkins. Mr.. and Mrs.
