North Walpole, and did not come over till
the train had left the station. He was
Just at this end of the bridge and attempted
to board the train there but missed his
footing and the last car passed over one
foot. No one on the train saw him and
the train did not stop. People who were
in the vicinity picked him up and brought
him to Or. Allbee's Office where his foot
was amputated and he was taken to his
home in the evening.
The Christian Endeavor society is to
hold poverty party at the Congregational
vestry next Thursday evening to raise
money for the purpose of assisting in pay
ing the expenses of their delegate to the
national convention at Cleveland. Con-
siderable fun may be looked for judging
from the following extract from the "rules
and regulashuns" "Chapter Every
woman who kums must wear kalker
dress IL apurn or sumthing ekely appro-
pirate IL leve there poughdle dorg at hum.
Chapter Livery gent must ware Their old

"regulashuns" as to fines and "ecktres"
are on the program.
The convention of the Montpelier Dis
trct Ministerial association has been in
session here this week, opening Tuesday
evening and closing Thursday evening.
The attendance has been quite large and
the meetings very interesting throughout
The district was not as well represented
from the northern section, but all the
neighboring towns as far north as White
River junction and Ludlow were well rep
resented At the EpwoTth league conven-
ton Thursday afternoon a large number
| of delegates were present, Ludlow sending
II. Papers of interest were presented in
both conventions and the social part of the
meetings was carried out in very happy
manner. Among the speakers heard with
the most interest was Rev. A. j. Hough,
who spoke Thursday forenoon on the
Coronation of childhood" He was on
the program for Wednesday but did not
reach here till Thursday morning from
Burlington.
Tuesday evening quite a large party of
our young people went up to Fairy Dell
picnic grounds at Charlestown and passed
Il very pleasant evening dancing at the
casino, Hammond's orchestra furnishing
the music and about % couples participat-
ing in the enjoyment until II o'clock. A
large part of the enjoyment was in the
trip up and back, nearly all modes of
conveyance being brought into use. j. II.
Blakely carried up II in his steam launch,
about 20 made the trip on their wheels
both ways, some went with teams and a
few by train. AS whole it was one of
the pleasantest parties for long time.
Friday evening of last week another party
of sixteen made the run to Charlestown on
their wheels and had lunch at the Eagle
hotel. Moonlight wheel parties to neigh
boring villages are of almost daily occur
renee. One large hindrance to the success
of evening bicycling is the custom OF
nearly every local cyclist not to carry a
lantern on his wheel, leaving feeling OF
uncertainty as to dark places. Few haze
bells even, and the lack of care in such
matters is very noticeable here compared
with other large villages or cities.
