A CHRISTMAS GATHERING.

The people of Bethel living between
Middle lntervale and Beans Corner,
held their annual Christmas gathering
at the residence of Alfred Bean on the
eve of Dec. -. The walls of the recep-
ton room were festooned with fir-rope.
and being covered overhead with ivy,
gave il very artistic appearance.
The dining room was decorated with
potted plants and notices, and in the
east was seen star so brilliant that il
attracted the attention of all present. a
picnic supper was served, after which
the following literary programme was
carried out;

The mysterious looking bundles that
were brought in that evening, together
with those that had found their WAY
TO this place several days before, had
been placed upon one of the finest hrs
that could be found in the forest. Ii
was indeed tree with all manner Of
fruit. Some had such long stems that IL
gave the possessors quite a chase be-
fore finding the fruit, often leading them
into forbidden eupbosrds and secret
drawers. All were remembered by
Santa.
After thanking Mr.. and Mrs. Bean for
opening their house on this occasion,
the people wendell their way to their re-
speetiye homes, hoping that the Christ
mas spirit will remain In this place
throughout the year 1895.
