country, almost, last week. This is
chilly comfort to Vermonters, how
ever
Rev. Mr. Forsythe of Stanstead will
give an illustrated lecture at Opera
Hall on Friday evening of this week.
The lecture is entitled, "Around the
World in a 100 Minutes'
The Masqueradep promenade at OPP
era Hall on Friday night was very
well attended, the weather consider
ed The blizzard in the night made
the getting home most disagreeable.
Altogether the worst blow or biz
card, as the modern phrase is, began
after the snow storm of Friday morn
ing and continued till Sunday morning.
All the snow that could be scraped off
the hills was piled into drifts, the
roads being impossible almost every
where.
The Cong. Ladies' Society will meet
in the church vestry next Friday af-
ternoon, Feb. 10. The gentlemen and
young people are invited to tea, which
will be served from until 7 O'Clock,
also to spend the evening for social
visit. Supper, 10 cents to those who
do not furnish for the tables.
We have received from the Railroad
Commissioners of the state their pub
lished report for the past year. The
volume contains a great amount Of
useful information in regard to rail-
roads, statistics, accounts of accidents,
etc., and will be Of use and interest
to the reader. The commissioners do
a great amount of work each year for
the public.
The injury that Sam. Standish re-
ceived in removing burning can of
oil from "caboose" car in Newport,
some time since, proved to have been
much more severe than was first re-
ported. The can of oil was set on the
stove to warm, but ignited, and was
thrown out of doors by Mr.. Standish,
the flames flashing into his face and
over his hands.
The lecture given by M. w. Farman
at M. E. church, Wednesday evening
last was all that had been anticipated,
pleasing, scholarly and eloquent. Mr..
Farman must have spent much time
in the preparation Of the lecture. His
style of delivery is agreeable, and the
interest awakened in the start increas-
es to the end. He deserves a good
audience wherever he goes.
