The goat got loose in the new Odd Fell
lows hall, Ellsworth, one night recently.
A youthful brother, descending the stair
way, met him in the hall. He did not
stop to parley, but beat a hasty retreat,
and startled the brethren assem- bled in the
ante-room by his abrupt re-entrance.
Upon investigation it was found that
Mike Drummey's pet fox had found his
way to the hall from the cellar, where he
has been kept. Max had never seen
fox before, and did not expect to meet
one there.

The plan of discussion of a special topic
at regular meetings Of he board of trade
was tried for the first time Monday
evening. The topic. "Our Hardwood
Growth was ably treated in papers as
follows: ats Extent and Quality" John
o. w Whitney; ''Can it be Brought here for
Manufacture" DR.. w. M. Haines; Can
it be Prottably Manufactured Here?' Z.
r. Foster. The reading Of the papers
was followed by general discussion Of the
subject. Owing to lack of room, because
Of encroachment Of advertisers upon the
news columns OF THE AMERICAN, it is
impossible to give an extended report OF
the meeting this week. The three papers
will be printed in full next week. AS the
next meeting Of the board OF trade will
be the annual meeting, no topic was as
signed.
