A souvenir in the form of a novel hand
painted programme, with copper cent
pendant, was handed to each guest, and
speaking of the copper cent, one would
not believe what fearful amount OF
trouble was caused by this small token
of Uncle Sans coinage. Some twenty
three questions were printed inside the
programme, the answers to which were
to be found on the penny. The lady
giving the greatest number of correct
answers would be entitled to prize,
and the gentleman likewise. Great
mirth was produced when the various
answers were read aloud. The outcome
of the contest resulted in Miss BERTHE
Krentz being awarded the ladies prize,
beautiful mirror, and W. r. Campbell
secured the gentIeman's prize, hand

A Ll11Lh UT RUSSIAN aAOASh1s
 Your corresponpent supposes that. THE NEwTowN BEE is related to The North ern Bee of Russia, which was establish ed in 1925 by Gretch and Boulgarine. It is interesting to notice the fact that on the day when Sebastopol was taken June IS, 1855. that The Bee, officially announced to Europe, "That the war was becoming serious. and that Sebas- topol being destroyed, stronger for tress would be built" We men have some conception of the strength of this fortress, when we reflect that it was be- sieged BPS days, when STA guns thunder ed upon it; when in on day 10000 pro- iectiles were thrown into the town, when the Russians lost 1s,O00 men by the bom- bardment alone. The French had dug 50 miles of trenches and 4l00 feet of mines before one bastion alone.
 This war cost the lives of 250,000 men. A congress met at Paris February 20, 1856. There were repre- sented at it, France, England, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia and Turkey. Russia was represented by Baron De Brunnow and Alexis Orlof. Peace was signed on the 3Oth of March, 1856. Alexander H, was Czar. Alexander I died March 3, 1855. It is interesting to see Europe after 40 years, and notice the attitude of 1 the powers to day, in the matter of Crete and Greece. Can we say, must we not say with Gladstone, "Shame on the Powers" '" We look nearer home. The fourth of March is past. On it, 8 new President took the oath of office. On 1t the 55th congress went out, and the 56th began; 1O8 year of our constitutional history, have witnessed the installation of the 25th President, Mai Mckinley. May great prosperity attend his admin istration as the Chief E xecutive of the still nearer home. This excursion will be pardoned. Bees are not restricted as where they shall get their honey. They must go where the flower are and when they are in bloom, or their efforts are vain.
 Warren is a miniature country. Its hills aud valleys and lakes and crystal streams, fits men and women and children, constitute a part of the wide domain, our country. What we are doing here on small scale, is being done in every town in the country. Our winter schools are about to end and be- fore equinox, all will be closed.
 Wilbur Wells goes to Kent to carry on an Eaton farm.
 William Melton is better, and there is talk that himself and wife will go to a milder climate for few weeks, to es- cape the keen and piercing winds of March and April. It will be, if at all, to Florida in all probability.
 Mrs Miner Strong is ill and under Dr 1 Marcy's care.
 Mrs Humphrey Is improving.
 These things are typical of the whole country. Some are we'll. Some are get ting down and some are getting up. May we not hope that the backbone of winter is broken, and that we shall soon have the privilege of welcoming spring with it's ethereal mildness.
