A fine deer, bought by Rev. d. l..
Fisher from the wilds of Maine, on his
return from brief visit, was made the
basis of a game supper, given by the Uni
versalist society at the town hall on Thurs
day evening of last week. The venison
was roasted to nicely by our local chef,
G.. NJ. Oaks, and was supplemented with
partridge, squirrel, rabbit, chicken pies
and many side dishes, and the supper was
pronounced excellent by all who partook
Of its varied courses. Ice cream was also
served in the hall during the evening, and
found many patrons. Knapp's Brattle-
boro orchestra furnished music for merry
dance, which rounded up, and made COM
plete the pleasures Of the evening. Though
some of our epicures were absent and lost
an opportunity of testing the superior
quality of wild game, yet a goodly COM
psny were present, all in excellent humor,
for nothing osets out a party" like nice
supper. On Saturday evening the society

Seldom has the sympathy of this COM
munity been so aroused as it was when the
news reached here of the death of Cath
crime E., the only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. R. Smith of this place, which took
place in Rutland, Vt, on Saturday evening.
She had been sick for more than year,
but during the last three months strong
hopes had been entertained of her recovery,
and in August she went to Rutland for the
benefit of change of locality. She SEEM
ingly improved until few days before her
death. She was child of unusual sweet
ness of character and every one who knew
her, loved her. During her II months of
sickness she exhibited only love, gentle.
ness and patience, and the memory of her
short life can be only tender and pleasant
one to all who knew her. The funeral
services were held at her home on We'd
nesday at l o'clock, Rev G. F. Piper and
Dr. G. S. Scofield officiating. The beauti-
full floral decorations were surely emblems
of her pure life offered by sympathizing
friends TO tighten, if possible, the gloom o.
the dark hour.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Boston Women Attempted TO Drug
Dartmouth students.

A bold attempt to rob two Dartmouth
students was made at White River juno
tion, Vt, last night, said the Hanover cor
respondent of the Boston Globe last Sat
urday. The two students met two unmar-
red women there late in the evening who
claimed to come from Boston. One gave
her residence as 47G Harrison avenue and
the other as the South end. Their names
are not known. The party of four started
to drink some ginger ale in White River
Junction hotel when one of the women
syly seized one of the students glasses
and poured in from a small vial a small
quantity of liquid, which was later identi-
fed as what is commonly termed "knock-
out drops" The students detected the at
tempt in time, however, and would have
made trouble had not the Bostonites eff
iected a speedy escape. Their present
Whereabouts are unknown.

High School Lecture Course.

The Interesting and Successful Enter
t"inment which Opened the Course
Monday Evening.
The High school lecture course opened
last Monday evening at the town hall, with
an entertainment by local talent. 1t is in
deed pleasure to find that our own young
people can give us an entertainment fully
up TO the standard of much larger places,
and those who were present last Monday
cannot give too high praise to the first
number of the lecture course The pro-
gram was considerably heightened by the
encores. These lecture courses of the last
three years have been due to the energy
and loyalty to the school of one who but a
short time since was a stranger among us,
and we can certainly do no less than show
by our presence at the numbers this win
ter, that we appreciate his endeavors and
that we, too, have an active interest in our
schools. If we go we shall not come away
disappointed.
In few Introductory words Principal
Patterson spoke of this as the third season
of the lecture courses. He reminded us
that we too often fail to appreciate that
we have some very talented young people.
In speaking of Paul II. Mann, he said.
there is one note of regret in this evenings
entertainment; Paul Mann is absolutely
forbidden by the doctor to use his voice or
appear in the hall this evening" The fol-
lowing is the program:

at Philadelphia, at Cambridge, Mass,
at Auburn Presbyterian seminary
and at the Chicago Presbyterian SEM
mary.
by this method Of Biblical criticism
il has been found that there are in
the Old Testament thirty-nine separate
books. divided in three classes-His-
tory. belles.lettres and preaching.
THE historical books number seven
teen and run from Genesis to Esther
inclusive. They We're composed out
of pre-eXisting material. There are
two histories of the same events
Chronicles and Kings-the first giving
history enthusiastically, the second
prophetically. In the list are two
historical romances set off by them
selves based on a historic foundation,
but written with n free imaginary
pen. There are two books of the
covenant-EXOdus and Deuteronomy.
I'm these historical books are quo
tations from at least twelve still more
ancient books of which no other traces
now remain. In these historical books
there is folklore, as for instance the
stories of Sampson.
