A GUST or WIND.

Not only one gust, but several OF them.
1t was during last Thursday night that
the gale had full swing, and he must have
been of extra clear conscience, or particu-
larly sound asleep, who was not dis
turbed by the fury of the miniature cy-
clone which swept over this locality at
that time. With level country herea-
bouts, so fierce a gale as that would have
nut this section in the same list with
many others, and there would have heen
tales of woe to unfold. The wind came
in forceful waves that struck against the
houses and Jared them perceptibly. Not
only cradles, but full-grown beds as well
were rocked and the tremor felt was not
unlike that experienced during light
earthquake shocks.
Fortunately no damage was done 10y
the gale in this immediate vicinity; but
public opinion as to the weight OF the
blow was plainly evidenced by the tone
of the general inquiry on the streets the
next morning-"Did you ever hear the
wind blow harder1"

TIE OPERA HOUSE OPENING

An event to which the citizens of ST.
Tohnsbury and vicinity had looked
forward with muchinterest-the opening
of Howes Opera House-occurred this
week Monday and Tuesday evenings
and marked an epoch in local amusc-
ment circles. 1t was a most successful
affair and was participated in by some
thing over 1900 people. 1t is not nee
essary to devote much space here to the
Opera House itself-that was done in a
recent issue OF the CALEDoElAN, Suffice
it to say that this fine structure is ad-
mirably adapted to its purpose, and that
the large audiences which gathered on he
opening nights were not slow in com
menting on the beauty and convenience
of the exterior arrangements OF this new
amusement center From all sides favor,
able criticism was bestowed.
THE comedy presented on this occa-
sion-"The Senator" is a very taking
one, and abounds in lively situations
which occur so frequently as to pre-
vent the slightest touch OF ennui on the
part OF the audience. Louis Aldrich as
the Senator" is a host in himself and
kept the house on the qui vive from
start to finish his impersonation of the
busy, hustling public man, with an eye
to everybody's interests, including his
own, was excelently done. He was
capitalIy supported, too, the characters
of Mrs. Hilary" "Sharpless, Ling
Ching" Count Won Strahl, Richard
Vance" Josie Armstrong and Lieut..
Schuyler" being especially fine and con
tributing ecIat to the whole performance.
The Orchestral Club, assisted by N. X.
Young, did effective musical service and
won fattering comments from both
townspeople and strangers

The Boylston Quartette consisting OF
Mrs. Humphrey, Mrs. Silsby, Mrs. Par
ker and Miss Parker) delighted the

Miss Ivah M. Dunklee appeared in re-
citals, excelling especially in Country
Sleighing" and her posing in "Emotlves
Plastioue;" N. r. Young gave violin
solo and played also in duet with MRS
Colby: Miss Parker's singing OF SOLO
won a deserved recall.
H. l.. Parker presided over the meet
ing and Grand Secretary Parker OF Brad
ford was introduced and gave some
statistics bearing on the growth OF tne
order since 1919. A short promenade
closed the evenings performance sew
eral st. Johnrbury people went up TO

AN IMPROVED CHURCH.

The repairs which have been going on
at the Free Baptist church for two or
three weeks past have resulted in i'm
provements which attendants at this
house of worship will appreciate An
iron ceiling has been put on in the vestry,
and two small rooms opening out OF the
larger have been combined in one so as
to afford place for holding a portion of
the religious meetings or social gather
ings; the main audience room of the
church has been re-frescoed and materi-
ally frightened and now presents an at
tractive appearance. Portions of the
sills, which had rotted badly, have been
seplaced and some other repairs made on
the exterior of the building. The seats
have been taken up for purposes OF
cleaning, the paint brush discreetly used
and the premises thoroughly renovated.
