The following communication was LETT
with us last evening, and explains itself
Mr.. Patten says that his object In taking
two suits of clothes TO the picnic was 70
be ready, In case an accident should hap
pen, to go into the water and save the
ladies. The Bible says, "Let not your
good be evil spoken Of" therefore 1t is
well to explain.
It has been some years since there mas
been boat on the pond, bat that cannot
be said any longer, as Monday afternoon
an apparently good-looking craft, con-
tanning four boys. was seen coming down
stream and moving about on all parts OF
the pond. 1t appears that George Col
burn and Walter Sears were the builders,
and considering their youth they showed
great ability In its 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. +,
A party of about twenty from this vii
lage went to Forest Lake Sunday for the
purpose OF hearing the Second Massachu-
sets 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 facilt-
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.
