ENJOYABLE events OF the yesr. Class
mates and guests 20 the number Of thirty
gathered in the beautiful Y. NJ. c. \.
room at Sturtevant Hall, which had
been tsstefully decorated for the occa-
sion.

tily served, Of lemon sherbet, mixed
cakes, decorated waters and oranges.

Of its record. not only in athletics and

was precedent which is to be followed,
we predict very happy and prosperous
elimination al their graduation.
The summer term at Hebron Academy
has opened most suspiciously. Already
over 40 students have been registered,
which Is the largest enrolment for any

ing for the debate upon the merits OF
which the contestants for the prize de-
bate will be chosen.
Already rumors are sfloat regarding
especially attractive features AZ COM

When the temperature falls 10 ten, as
late a. the aOth of April, We call IL cool !;

that, people can travel for few hours
again without getting stuck in the mud.
But, say, East sumner, are YOU not
getting little profsne over that way :
People are getting 80 good about here
that when they get into the slush over

crate: "Glad not TO be drawn clear

ence, his sermon was appropriate, and he
made some very good points.

Some fifteen years ago Calvin Cole
employed a womsn 10 work In his family
by the name of Lizzie 5. Blaisdell. 10
process of time his wife became dissatis-
fed with the domestic affairs, and finally
left the family and went TO Massachu-
sets with one Of her sons. Cole con-
tinued to keep the woman, and for some
time past he became so poor 10 conse-
quence Of her sickness as TO call on the
town for help. The selectmen got hint
in some way that she had a living hus-
band all this time, and writing on TO her
former place Of residence, which was
Lebanon. for Information, found that
such was the case. Accordingly they
notified the town what was up, and last
Saturday some one came and took the
lady back to her former home. Mrs.
Cole is now stopping with her sister in
Portland.
