There are many other dents in the pan,
Other oysters in the stew.
Many others slipped on the ice, young man.
Tho we smiled, it wasn't at you.
We hear that Mrs. Lydia Hancock
Warren has left her home on "Antuzel"
mountain, and, with her son, removed to
Stafford Springs.
For the last few days the weather has
been so delightful as to efface the chill
left by the great storm, and the below
zero weather that attended 1t.

AS the sleigh upset before they were wed.
But when they tipped over the other day
He growled: "You weigh more than a load

Mrs. s. P. Morrison invited the men,
bers of the grange to her home, across

While playing in the school house at
recess last Friday, Florence Pierce fell
upon the corner of desk and cut cash
in her haad. Teacher Richardson took
her home in his sleigh and dressed the
wound so skillfully that she was out again
in few days.
One thing more: There seems to be a
great deal of curiosity about the party to
whom we sold the Taylor homestead the
other day. Listen: The party is an able,
reputable, common sense, retired Con-
gregational minister, who, without doubt,
will become useful and helpful citizen,
for although technically retired" he is
not by any means antiquated.
An eminent German scientist, referring
to human history, asserts that we may
trace the cause of many evils In the die
tetic character of the people. The reiec-
ton of flesh would give a new direction
to human culture and industry. Agricul.
ture would be greatly developed. The
numerous diseases now traceable to q
flesh diet would disappear, and with them
the manifold cruelties of the slaughter
house. The expense of living would be
greatly reduced, and thus the poorer
classes would be elevated.
We have been requested to give infor

will have to pay bill of expense incurred
by the visit here of Highway Commits

both. However, we have no accurate
knowledge In the premises. The select

The chicken pie supper, which was
held in the hall last Friday night, was q
very enjoyable affair. The society netted
over $12. The attendance was not as
large as usual, and consequently not all
the pies we've used. 1t seems pity thai
the people do not turn out to social like
this. We hear cries all the time of "Why
don't you get up something ?" but wher
anything is gotten up there Is but small
attendance. Those who attended last
Friday night had good time. Games
we're played and very pleasant evening
was spent. The food which was not usec
was S0LQ.
The company's sled took a party Of
fifteen up to the box social at Wesley
chapel Saturday night. The sleighine
was very good going up, but coming back
it was rather poor. The social was very
much enjoyed. The boxes were sold al

knew what he wanted, and he got it to
