and they went right to keeping house to-
gether just like grownup folks, in house
that Charlie had bought and banked all
ready for the occasion that he expected
was coming off as soon as Coras school
was done, (you see Cora was a school mam)
well, you see they had lot of friends and
one thing another, and they all liked Char

way they struck out for them selves or for
one another, so they thought they'd kind
| of surprise them some night when the
roads want too bad and the weather want
| stormy, SO last Thursday night the thing
busted out,and the whole bisness was sur
prise, weather and all; only about fifty of
the young friends, including the old folks
and children, lived to get there. They
carried nice sofa and about dozen dol
lars worth of presents and things, and you
just bet they had boss time. They lis
tened to Henry Bryant's lspeaking-box
played lot of playes and visited with one
another all the time till about two o'clock
the next morning. They had more supper
than the whole of them could eat, and
some of them haint got all over the effects
of it at this writing, and still they are just
Charlie and Cora did, SO they can have
another of them house warnings. Charlie
and Cora was awfully thankful that they
had so many good friends. and they are
glad they got married just as they did.
Everybody hopes they will live till they
are old people, and that neither Charlie
nor Cora will ever have any occasion to get
married again any more.

The lecture "Whittier" by w. P. Stafford
last Friday evening was well attended and
much enjoyed by an appreciative audience.
1t was a scholarly production, gracefully
and eloquently given, showing keen per-
ception and appreciation of poetical genius,
and the broad education of the Quaker
poet, Whittier. A fitting close for the lee
ture course which has been a pronounced
success. 1t has been remarked that ''some
of the lectures given only needed the repu
tation of Conwell or Fowler to command
the price," The conservative committee
found the acres of ''talent," if not "d1a-
monds,' near at hand which have furnish
ed most satisfactory entertainments. 1t IS
hoped that the townspeople will combine
their efforts to secure a course of lectures |
another year as they tend to educate and
uplift any community.
