 The Y. P. c. U. had the right of way this week. Mir. A. L. Brown made an address last Sunday evening on Good Government" to the local union and it's friends. Last evening the union present ed very pleasant entertainment at the church. The audience was favored by a duet, "Beware," by Miss Minnie Chatter ton, of AekWOrt, N. H., and Mrs. H. F. Cady. Miss Chatterton also sang, by re- quest, "The Devoted Apple" She is a lovely singer, whose singing delights the more it is heard.
 l A serious accident happened on Mon day night. Myron Leonard, the towns first selectman, accompanied by Patsey Hassett, had started home and had got just across the bridge, when they were run into by 8 coasting party. MT. LeOn- ard tried to get out of the way, but did not succeed. The party ran against the horse, threw it down, which tipped the wagon over, damaged it badly, and threw the men out. Tn. the meantime the horse broke loose from the wagon, and was so frightened that 1t jumped over the railing by the shoe shop into the pond. When Mr. Leonard got up he found he was not hurt at all, but on looking for Mir. Has sett found he was knocked senseless. Mir. Leonard soon got assistance and had Mir. Hassett cared for. He was found to be badly cut and bruised about the head and face. The horse was found under the bridge, on the edge of the dam, but not hurt. They then had to break the ice across the pond to MT. Hyde's buildings to get the horse out, which was done without serious injury to man or beast. Teh consequence is that cOasting on the highway Is forbidden. It is a wonder that so few serious accidents have hap pened, for the road that runR past the Baptist church has always been favorite coasting ground.
 Louis Morse has about completed, and will soon move into his new house, which he has built on his lot east of the hotel. It is comfortable looking story and half cottage with four gables. and painted ,: light adrab with darker trim mings, and dark emerald green. blinds. It Is we'll lighted, the rooms of fair size, and conveniently located in reference to each other and to home comfort, with plenty of pantry and closet room. The cellar is large and well built. The house contains six rooms, besides the halls The kitchen is finished in yellow pine, the dining room and hall in ash, the sitting room in white wood stained, and the rooms upstairs in white pine painted. The rooms are all to be papered.. The house is built in 8 thorough and substan- tial manner. There is also convenient barn on the premises with three stalls. A. E. Converse was the contractor and builder. The notice of this improvement gives us opportunity to speak of the other buildings that have been erected in the village this year. The first to be finished was erected by MT. Simonds, on the knoll south of the house formerly occupied by T.: Collins. It is large two-story house, we'll built, convenient, and makes a good appearance. The next to be completed was the house of Timothy Collins, on the lot formerly owned by A. H. Weaver. It is story and 8 half cottage, with side to the road, and makes nice and com- fortable home. MT. Collins has an am- bitiOn to make the grounds around 1t as attractive as any in the' village, and the lot az productive. It looks as though he would succeed. The most noticeable im- provement Is, of course, the new. school house. We will give full description of it when 1t is completed. The fourth is Mir. Morse's house, which we have just noticed. It was expected that two other houses would go up this season, but cir cumstances nave prevented their erection. These Improvements with the large amount of painting and repairing that has been done, the practical rebuilding oi I MT. Worthington's blacksmith shop, and the building of the macadamized road gives the village an air of thrift and pros. pertty. $
