A four.horse load of Mortified people
met with an accident when coming to the
festival last Friday evening. At the fork
of the roads by r. +. Stockwell's the horses
veered out, and in refining them back into
the road, the sleigh ran on to a ridge and
slowed upon the ice and was overturned
and the occupants piled in a heap. Some
were bruised and Mrs Mason got bad
cut on her head which bled profusely but
was not considered serious The horses
went on with the forward traverse and
were stopped at the Vernon House. The
party reached their destination in good
time, and made up for their III luck by en-
joying the evening more highly-so well,
in fact, that they have decided TO take
another ride to Vernon and have invited
Landlord Pratt to provide entertainment
of supper and dancing for 80 couples next
Tuesday evening.

The festival which was held at the Yer
non House last Friday evening by the ladies
was very successful and highly gratifying
to all interested 1t was attended by a
large number Of people from Northheld,
Bernardston, BrattleborO, Guilford and
other surrounding town, to whom the
ladies desire to extend their hearty thanks
for their generous patronage. The ladies
also wish to thank those who could not be
present, but generously contributed money,
articles for sale or food; also those who as
sisted them SO kindly during the evening,
without which assistance 1t would have
been impossible to properly care for the
large number who took supper Especially
noticeable was the good humor of every
body and the absence of all rowdyism.
Among the contributions of absentees
was a large number Of fancy articles and
handsomely dressed doll and swing from
Mrs. Julia Frost of Worcester. The
name of the doll was what everybody tried
but failed to guess Harold Akley guessed
her first name "Hope," but did not give
her last name, which was "Vernon," so
she was sold to the highest bidder, J. L.
Stockwel, of West Brattleboro. From
other absentees we're a beautiful sofa pill
low from Mrs. Phoebe Schnell of Holyoke,
articles from Mrs. II. b. Green of Worces-
ter and a check from G. G. Houghton of
Worcester.
The proceeds of the festival was over
$3.50 of which $190.Gj was net gain for the
