The snow drouth Is ended for the

Friday night and the two following days.
And never was IL more welcome, We
verify believe.
| Our school closed on the 18th inst.
The parents of the scholars were invited
in Friday afternoon, including Rev. Mr..
Hunt of Bryant Pond. The exercises
were quite varied and interesting, con-
sisting In part OF singing aud recitations,
during which cake and ice cream were
served, which for richness and flavor
have probably never been excelled In
any age. Quite number Of toasts were
given on different institutions and objects
by the scholars and responded TO by the
visitors. Thus ended Mr.. +. w. Clark's
school In the Bryant District for the

Old Boreas gave Us first class blow
| out last Tuesday, and the next morning
the temperature stood at 8 below zero.
The leading event OF last week was
the dedication Of the new chapel, which
| occurred Friday afternoon and evening.
The congregation numbered about sixty
in the afternoon, being somewhat limit
ed on account Of the weather. Rev. Mr..
Hunt was there In season as usual, but
the other minister who was expected,
for some reason did not put In an APP
pearance. The services commenced by
singing. several selections, Lena Felt,
organist, after which the speaker, To-
stead Of preaching sermon, gave US a
history Of the chapel from its conception
10 the turn of the key. 1t was a little
less than seven months since the ground
was broken on which the building stood,
and It's history was listened to with
interest by all.
The most Of the people stopped In the
house between the two services, and the
sisters, remembering the wants Of the
inner man, brought food enough, so that
after ''all did eat and were filed" enough
was left to fill seven baskets or even
twelve, providing they had not been too
large for the purpose. II was literally n
'feast of the dedication, and il was win
ter"
II commenced stcrming about twilight
but the weather did not hinder Rev. T.
j. Ramsdell of South Paris, and several
Hebron students from getting there.
And when the evening services CON-
menced the audience numbered nearly
100. After singing several selections
Mr.. Wall of Hebron read portion of
the Sth chapter OF 1st Kings, which was
followed by sermon from Rev. Mr..
Ramsdell, founded on the words Who
his own self bore our sins In his own
body on the tree, that we, being dead to
sins, should live unto righteousness by
whose stripes We were healed. IL need
not be added that the sermon was good
one, for who ever heard that devoted
minister Of the Gospel preach any other
kind? During the exercises several pieces
were sung BY quartette OF the Hebron
students. The dedicatory prayer was
offered by Rev. Mr.. Hunt, followed by
benediction from the speaker. But the
closing exercises consisted In each one
retiring In a snow storm. The names Of
those whose labor built the house, and
also glance at the furniture yet TO be
given.
