Decorated China Exhibit.

The following regarding former resi-
dent Of Bellows Falls. is from last weeks
issue of the Everett, Mass, Herald:
"Lovers of the beautiful have been
treated this week to rare exhibit of dec
Grated china and water color paintings by
Mrs. Avis Brown Holley at her home. No.
Hampshire street. Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday afternoons and evenings
were devoted to thu exhibition, and large
number availed Themselves of this un-
equalled opportunity Of seeing as magn,f-
cent collection Of art in this line as has
ever been shown in Everett. Noticeable
among the pieces we're jariinieres, a choc-
olate set in three pieces, celery dish and
dips, toast cup, bread and butter plates,
sardine or salad set, tankard and tray,
vases, fruit, cake and dessert plates of odd
shapes and all descriptions. The work
that doubtless attracted most attention was
the jewel.ed work of which there we're sew
eral pieces, one Of them being a very
beautiful plate. This work represents
a large amount Of labor and certainly no
ordinary ability. The water color paint
ing is somt thing which Mrs. Holley has
taken up within the past year, and to see
that she has at once achieved success one
only has to see her work. Three pictures,
one OF roses, one of narcissus, and one OF
the Blu finch front of the state house,
attracted considerable attention"

FINANCES.
The report of the treasurer did not
include much material which was do
mated, nor the material taken from the
old church, nor the labor, all of which
except skilled labor was gwen gratul-
tously, nor the immense amount Of

The congregation is to be cOngratu-

of the new church in all its appoint
ments.

A Long Nap In Church.

Last Sunday night little Bob Ar
thur, son of Mr., VIM. L. Arthur, failed
to come home at the proper time, and
his father began search for him.
He was not with any of the neighbors,
and Mr.. Arthur spent considerable
time hunting for the lost boy. About
II o'clock he called up Nj. VIM. R.
Deck, the sexton Of the Lutheran
church, and Mr.. Deck remembered
having seen Bob at the church at the
evening service. The two went to
the church with a light, and in the
gallery, stretched out on a bench, lay
Bob sleeping most peacefully. DR..
Albert sermon must have had a par
ticularly soporifc effect upon the child,
for he had slept right on through the
closing service, singing and all, and
would probably have slumbered all
night if he had not been disturbed.
He was taken home and put to bed.

A Little Too Much.

~ LiNtiS lOV
Three times during the past week
the morning mail from Baltimore, IN
Guiding the daily papers, has failed to
reach ShepherdstOwn at the proper
time, s o'clock in the morning, and
the people have been obliged to wait
nine hours, or until 5 o'clock in the
evening, for the mail. Monday slight
accident on the Western Maryland
Railroad at Chewsville, and Tuesday
smash-up on the same road about
two miles east Of Hagerstown, caused
delay to the early train, and the Nor
folk & Western train did not wait at
Hagerstown for the connection. This
sort of mail facilities is anything but
satisfactory, and there is much COM
plant among the people along the line
of the n. & W., though this road, of
course, can hardly be blamed for the
trouble. We hope that the postal au-
thorities will make some arrangement
for handling our mails that can be re-
lied upon to give US good service.
This morning the mail again failed
to reach here on account of not making
connection at Hagerstown. The kick
ing is loud and deep.
