honor of one of her boys, Andrew Moore,
who left Monday for Ashevlle, N c.

the evening was spent, as the boys ex-
pressed it, having jolly good time with
games, readings, stories, and words OF
farewell from several OF the boys in boy
fashion, which were very good. The
surprise when the ice cream and cake
arrived was well worth all that had
been done, and the boys began to think
there was more than the next days les
sons on the programme. Mrs. Farrell
then presented Andrew with an ink
stand in the name of the class, to which
he responded, heartily thanking both
teacher and class, saying he would see
to it that there was always ink to write
to his st. Johnsbury friends, and es-
pecially to this class, who would hear
from him often. After joining in singing

wishes, the party broke up and the boys
went home happier and none the worse

county fair here two weeks ago. Many
in this section will remember him as he
has made three ascensions here from the
fair grounds The first ascension was
made about 25 years ago and he landed
somewhere near Lancaster, N. H. lie was
here again about five years later, making
fine ascension and reaching terra firma
in the neighborhood of Lisbon, N. H. His
last visit here was eight years ago when
at the age of 6S years he made one of the
finest ascensions ever seen here. James
Barnett, the trapezist, went up with him.
They made landing at Cabot, where
they enjoyed lunch and a talk with
some OF the people there and then started
out again, finishing the trip in the town
OF Huntington, VT. His son, James K,
made his first ascension here from the fair
grounds Is years ago, landing in Cole
brook N. H. He was here again three
years ago to aid Capt. Griswod in get
ting ready for his ascension.
Mr.. Allen took up the avocation of bal
looming in 1851 and followed the calling
all his life, up TO 10 years ago. AS his

service OF Dom Pedro in the same capacity,
in the war against Paraguay. Return
ing to this country he followed the prac-
ice Of giving exhibitions, and has made
in all 30S final VOYAGES" or ascensions,
in fire balloon. Although retiring from
active participation 10 years ago. he has
always taken much interest in the ascen-
sions oi his sons and rendered them as
sistance. Only two weeks ago he said
he would like to 'go up once more" He
was without doubt the mnst successful
balloonist America ever had
M. H. Wilcox OF this place has been quite
intimate with the Allen family. They
: always stopped at his place when her,
and he has assisted them at all OF ,heii
, ascensons at the iar ground.
