 It has been some years since there has been a boat on the pond, but that cannot be said any longer, as Monday afternoon an apparently good-looking craft, con- tairing four boys. was seen coming down stream and moving about on all parts or the pond. It appears that George Col burn and Walter Sears were the builders, and considering their youth they showed great ability in it's construction. But alas for the fond anticipations of the boys-their parents didn't half appreciate their efforts, and the boat Is tied up to be looked at, and not to be used. --i, A party of about twenty from this will lage went to Forest Lake Sunday for the purpose of hearing the Second Massachu- setts regiment band, but 1t will be cold. day when they visit that resort again. They complain of the entire absence of any kind of management in caring for the guests, and that the vitualing facili- ties were wholly inadequate to the num- Der of people there, the entire party being obliged to return to Palmer in order to get even the semblance of a dinner. The attractions at this much-talked-of resort seem to be few and far between, and the refreshments still fewer.
