ting one OF his horses into the pig pen be-
low and leaving two others partially sus-
pended by their halters. He had raised

nately the runaway was stopped and no
further damage was done.

songs, etc, interspersed with music by
the Brookfield band. 1t was the general
verdict that the scholars did most excel
lently. The subscription gotten mp by
