to notice issued by Joseph F. Randolph,
referee in bankruptcy, it was decided to

NEW VERNON.

Winter has been holding high carnival
this week, not taking into account any
appointments or engagements made by
the villagers. OF all the entertainers at
the carnival, the Banks have come out
best, as they still hold sway; but if will
ing hands can do it they will soon dis
appear from these ''diggings"
This week was to have been a full one,
beginning with the agricultural meeting
ia New Vernon Hall on Monday evening
Some one in writing mentions the beauti-
full "skyscape," and snowscape, " but we
have a 'deserted village You may
know about the condition we are in when
told that one person found the dining
room window the only way of exit.
If we are buried in snow at present we
want you all to know we are healthy; not
one case of ''grip'' during the epidemic.
Miss Drinkwater is president of the
Literary Society. The debate this week
was to be whether Brutus killed Caesar
from jealousy or love of country.
Last week, Monday night, we were
given treat, not Intoxicating, although
stimulating. 1t was the anniversary OF
the temperance society. The secretary
Miss Ella J. Morris, gave the years re.
port in rhyme. 1t was bright, witty and
eloquent. The Young Mems Glee Club
captured the audience. Mrs. Gage sang
two hitting" solos about drink and to-
bacco, and Mr.. Cantwell from Drew
Seminary gave soul-stirring address.
Your correspondent knows very little
of what was going on the rest of the
week; but has heard that there is an
endemic of prostration of the right arm
from stove-shaking and fire making.

his subjects should have at dinner or
supper more than two courses nor above
three dishes for each course.
