THE VILLAGE AND VICINITY.

excitement in the village for last week
and ending Monday evening of this week

ed their meetings every evening and
spent money freely to encourage the
boys. 1t 10 reported that the receipts
were in excess of ST. 900 and of course
some expenses will have to be deducted
from that amount; yet they will net a
nice sum for the seasons expenses
which is very gratifying to all.
John McNiff, an employee of the Con-
solidated road at this station, met with
quite an accident one day last week by
toollng with rapidly moving freight
train. He has been in the habit ofjump-
ing on the trains and riding as far as he
dared to 60 and then jumping off. This
time he did it once too many and when
near the New Milford creamery works
he was hanging to the train in such a
manner that he struck the platform.
Well, he didn't hurt the platform at all,
but he came off with quite a good many
bruises and sprained limbs and was very
fortunate in not being thrown under the
cars and killed. He had been repeatedly
warped to quit such foolishness, but it ia
thought now this may be q lesson that
will convince him to stop fooling with
moving trains. He is at home for re-
pairs now.

The new style of postal cards have
cached the New Milford postoftice.
They are a trife smaller than those
having been in use for the past several
years and are neat in design, yet very
similar to the former style. They are
large enough for all practical use and the
public will appreciate the change.

AT A FISHING FLOAT.
A Party of Young People Have a Pleas
ant Days Outing on the
SuSuuellanna,

No finer day could have been desired to
visit the float than that which greeted us last
! Saturday. 1t had rained almost necessarily
all week, and as it was still raining Friday
night, it could hardly be supposed then that
Saturday would be favorable day. Early
Saturday morning Aurora, rising from her
abode in the ocean, drove across the heavens
in her chariot and pushed aside with her
rosy fingers the clouds of night and allowed
the king OF day to burst forth in all his
glory. The bright, clear April day was
greatly appreciated by all.
At 1920 Captain Holm carried US from
Port Deposit over the picturesque Susque-
hanna on his beautiful boat, the "City Belle, y
to the float OF Silver & Spencer We were
there met by some Baltimore friends who had
arrived short time before u.s.
The fishermen were just about to make a
haul when we landed. We watched them 90
about their work with more than ordinary
interest, for some of US had never seen a
haul before. 1t was wonderful sight to
behold the jumping humping, struggling,
springing, gasping, seethinG mass OF fish
when they We're pulled upon the float.
About l O'clock some Of the ladies', in CO.
operation with the floats cook, prepared
dinner. We had with us some we'll filled
baskets, and it was no ordinary meal that
they prepared for us. 1t was kind OF a
novelty to the most of us to eat our dinner
amid such surroundings as are in evidence
upon float. and possibly it was all the more
enjoyed on that very account
Alter dinner Miss Gilbert, well known
elocutionist of Baltimore, recited some hui
morous selections for us which were highly
appreciated. At $50 Captain Holm returned
for us, and we started on our homeward way
after having passed very pleasant and
profitable day.
Those present were: Mrs. Matte Saunders,
Miss 10 Saunders, Mrs. Harvey Hindman,
