NEARBY NOTES.

The Methodist society at Weston has
been holding meetings since the first OF
January, with increasing interest.
The Weston Library association will
| give dramatic entertainment in the
near future.
The young people of Bondville will
give ball at their town hall next
Friday evening. Kingsbury's orches-
ira will furnish the music and supper
will be served at the Morgan House.
Almost bit of romance occurred
at Weston a few days ago. On the
day in question Daniel Hannum went
| to Chester with loaded team and
during the day telegram reached
his home announcing the death of o
daughter, Mrs. Taylor, at Somer-
vile, Mass. Mr.. Hannum's wife
died not long since so daughter at
home received the message. She al
one prepared herself for the sad mis-
sion, and taking a suitable suit of
clothes for her father, hitched up Q
team and started, oyertaking him al
Chester. The two took train from
Il
this point for Somerville.
Solomon Millington, charged with
| the murder of his brother at Shafts
bury, has furnished $4,000 bail and
has been released from Bennington
jail, where he has been confined oven
two weeks, Louis Northurse, Elmer
Stanley aud George Walworth quail.
fed for his bail in the sum OF $4,000.
An Italian pack pedler met with an
experience Wednesday Of last week in
coming over the mountain from Lud.
low into Weston. He met two young
chaps going to Ludlow with potatoes.
They wanted to see his goods. To this
he assented and opened his pack. His
supposed customers selected some razors
and pipes and told him they had nc
money but he could take potatoes OF
nothing. To this he demurred but
was told to help himself if he could.
He finally got his razors but the fel
lows kept three pipes. When he
reached Weston village he found out
who the parties were and upon gong
to their father, who is an honest man.
got his pay for the pipes. This exploit
will add nothing to the already tarnish
ed reputation Of these young men.
The pedler came into this office Sat
urday AID related the circumstance
He said they wanted to fight but ht
couldn't fight two OF them; everything
was all covered up with snow, ''coulc

An old gentleman in East jamaica,
Vt, now ~ years of age writes Feb. 1st,
1897 as follows: s'La,t March | was
taken with rheumatism in back aud hips
and was so lame | could walk but few
steps and could do no work. / tried

The Prize Exercises.

The Prize Exercises that came off
| Tuesday eve was a successful and
pleasant affair and drew full house.
Superintendent Gibson had charge
assisted by school directors Land
man and Babbitt. The contests were
for prizes in reading, speaking, spell
ling and work in arithmetic. Boards
of decision were appointed as follows: !:
Reading, G. T. Shanks, F. W.
Williams and Mrs, N. A. Wood.
Speaking, D. A. Giddings, Mrs.
j. w. Melendy and Miss Lura Walk
er.
Work in arithmetic, c. M. Eames,
Osro Clayton and Ray Dove.
Spelling, Lyle Pierce, Miss Eva
Holt aud Miss Pearl Barnard.
In each branch two classes were
formed, those over twelve constitu-
| ting one class and those twelve and
under the other There were from
six to eight contestants in each class.
HE AWARDS.
The committee on reading reported,
unanimously, as follows:
In class over twelve, Grace Win
chester; in class under twelve, Ber-
nice Babbitt.
On speaking, class over twelve,
John Moran with honorable mention
of Sa2ts Parker; in class under
twelve, Norman Winchester with hon.
orable mention of Rena Shanks, nine
years old.
On arithmetic the committee re-
ported, in first class close contest
between George Hall and Edith
Carleton, awarding the prize to the
former; in the second class Rose
Davis was given the prize.
In spelling, after spirited contest,
Edith Carleton in first class and Rose
Davis in second class were the win
ners.
Most of the contestants acquitted
themselves creditably. A few show
ed lack of proper training, very i'm
portant matter. Parents who have
not the time or lack the ability to
train their children for such occasions,
should put them in proper hands or
keep them off the stage. To put an
UNFRAMED child before the public, in
reading or speaking, is doing the lit
| tie one 40 good, but rather positive
Injury. Training is indispensable.
In this connection, with no DISPOSE
ton to be invidious, we cannot for
bear mentioning Bernice Babbitt, a
child of ten years, who was awarded
the prize for reading in her class.
| She showed a natural aptitude and a
thorough and intelligent training that
could but bring results. She won
the admiration of all present, and the
writer has no hesitancy IN saying that
he never heard child of her years
read better.
| At intervals through the evening
the audience was treated to some fine
vocal music, by the johnson brothers
and Miss Nina Dpdley. The former
are so well known that they need nc
commentator at our hands. Miss
Dudley is young in years, but has a
very sweet voice and natural adap-
talion for music that will be sure to
tell as she advances.
| Like exercises, open to all the
schools in town, will come off tonight
at Union Hall, North village.

a club to play Basket Ball. They
will occupy the town hall for the
game. We are indebted to Osro
Clayton for the following description
Of this game:
This interesting game which was
invented only few years ago at the
Y. M. G. A. gymnasium of Spring
field, Mass, has been steadily gain
ing in popularity ever since. 1t is
now played in nearly all The Y. M.
G. AS, and in many of the leading
colleges of the East. 1t supplies 4
long felt want for a game which may
be played after the football season
has closed in the fall and before base
ball is begun in the spring.
Basket Ball is an interesting game
to watch, being lively from stalt TO
finish. One excellent feature of it is
that it may be played on any sized
floor aud with any number of men,
although five on side is the usual
number. The following will give one
fair idea of the game:
The bail shall be round, tightly in
1ated and laced and shall be about
80 inches in circumference.
The two baskets, which are about
Is inches in diameter and about Is
inches deep, shall be placed one at
each end of the hall, so that their
tops shall be 10 feet above the floor
The officials shall be referee, two
umpires, a scorer and time-keeper.
Unless otherwise agreed upon by
the two captains, the time of game
shall be two 20 minute halves, with a
rest of 10 minutes between.
Each side has his BASKET into which
to throw, changing about at the be-
ginning Of the second half.
The side which has scored the most
baskets at the end of the second half
wins the game.
The ball is put in play by the ref
cree, who tosses it up SO that it will
fall near the center of the field.
If foul be made by any player,
the opposite side has free throw for
the basket at a distance of 10 feet.
Any of the following constitute a
foul:
1st. On the ball. Striking ball
with fist, kicking ball, carrying ball
while in bounds, holding ball, carry
ing BALI out Of bounds.
I'd. On men. Holding, striking,
tripping, pushing, shouldering, rough
play.
Sd. General. Interfering with
free throw, addressing the umpire
Or referee by any player except cap
tains, Intentionally delaying the
game, remarks about officials by play
ers.
The three main points for sue
cessful player are GOODNESS, activity,
and accurate passing of the ball.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to give some exhibition games
soon. Itis hoped that there will be
teams organized in other towns near
by to compete with So. Londonderry,
and thus give some zest to the long
winter.
