-,-Address by Rev. Archibald NIoCord
of Keene i'm Pine Grove Cemetery.
Memorial day, the most beautiful of all
the holidays, was ushered in with clear
skies and balmy atmosphere All nature
smiled for the occasion, and the day was
fittingly celebrated in Hiusdale. The ex-
ercses began at o'clock in the morning
when a delegation from Sheridan post, G..
A. r., equipped with wreaths of evergreen
and baskets of flowers, left for North Hins-
dale to decorate the graves of the soldier
dead at that place, and at the Catholic
cemetery. A fine program was rendered
at North Hinsdale and a prcfuson of
flowers were placed upon the graves of the
dead heroes. At . o'clock in the after
noon the procession formed at the Grand
Army hall, under the direction of Clement
c. Holton, officer of the day, and headed
by the, Hnsdale brass band marched to
Pine Grove cemetery, where, for lack
| of a town hall, the entire ceremonies were
! held. Here preparations had been made
for the convenience of the audience. Chairs
were placed on the level in front of the
tomb for the members of the Grand
Army and Womans Relief corps, while the
| speakers we're on the rise beside the tomb,
which was draped with flags. A program
was rendered consisting of music by school
children a quartet and the band: recita-
tions; prayer by Rev. W. +. Renshaw and
Rev. S. NJ Wide; and the address of the
! day BY Rev. Archibald McCord of Keene.
Mr.. McCord lin his eloquent address, paid
high tribute to the defenders of our coun-
try, not only in the Civil war, but in the
earlier wars of the nation as we'll as in the
later one, the Spanish American war, not
forgetting the women, who always bore
their part in every struggle for a nation 5
independence or a nations honor. Mr..
| McCord is evidently an expansonist of the
strongest type, and could not forbear from
uttering his views on this question on
which there is so much diversity of opinion
america is a country of growth, Of pro-
gress, and of opportunities and stands for
all that is best in religious liberty. educa-
tional advantages, and equal rights and
| privileges" Mr. McCord Is an easy and
fluent speaker, and held the attention Of
the large outdoor audience.
After the close of the address the graves
of the dead heroes were decorated by their
comrades, as were those Of the deceased
members Of the Relief corps, by their sis
ters After the return TO the village the
band gave a concert in front of Stebbins
block, instead Of in the more central part
of the village, as would have been the case,
/ but for sickness in Hotel Ashuelot This
was the first public appearance of the baud
since its reorganization, and they not only
made fine appearance in their new uni.
| forms, but gave entire satisfaction by the
rendering of the music. The concert
closed the exercises of the day, which ev-
erythiug had combined to make a success
full one.

But the Local Boys Put Up n Good Fight
---GoOd Sized Crowds Were Present---
the Score.
The weather proved to be all that could
be desired, and the two base ball games of
Memorial day were witnessed by good
sized crowds The Dartmouth Reds won
both games, taking the morning game in
the last inning. The double umpire sys-
tenn was used with good effect, Lowe, the
big guard of the Dartmouth varsity foot
ball eleven, coming down with the Reds,
and Joe Young acting for the local team.
The morning game was by far the more
interesting, since it was only by rally in
the last inning that the college boys won
out. The game was called at the end of
seven innings on account of the lateness of
the hour. Manager Raleigh's team con
tanned only four local players but they
seemed to make fully as good an impress
sion as the outside talent. Errors were
far too common, and some Of them very
costly Lacey pitched a good steady
game but had poor support Bond began
rather poorly for the college boys, but
warmed up and did much better work
later in the game. The score:

Singular Escapes from Death.
Caught by Set Screws and Carried
Around Revolving shafts.

Justin II. Wheeler aud Clarke A. Tent
Caught by Set Screws and Carried
Around Revolving shafts.
Two accidents OF the same kind have &C.
Crured nPutney during the past week which
were remarkable in that while they were
of a nature that is usually attended with
fatal results, both victims escaped with
comparatively little injury. The first &C.
Cured Friday night at the paper mill of
William Robertson. Justin II. Wheeler,
one of the engineers, attempted to adjust
a belt His foot slipped and he was thrown
upon a revolving shaft and the set screw
Immediately became engaged in his cloth
ing. He was quickly carried several times
around the shaft, but fortunately his cloth
ing gave way and he was released without
having been seriously hurt. No one was
near at the time, and if there had been
they would have been powerless to assist
him.
On Wednesday night, at the Cole paper
MILL Clarke A. Tefft was caught by set
screw in about the same manner as was
Mr.. Wheeler. He was carried around the
shaft, but was soon released by the giving
way of his clothing. He was less FORUM
ate than Mr.. Wheeler, however, as he had
one rib and two fingers broken and he was
badly bruised in numerous places. The
machinery was stopped as soon as posi-
bic, but it is probable that he would have
been killed before the machinery came 10
a standstill if his clothing had not given
out. In both accidents practically all oil
the clothing was torn from the victims.

The Memorial Ohservnncs.

The Memorial exercises at Central Park
last Sunday were of very impressive and
interesting character. Commander Fisher
of Henry johnson post of Mortified pre-
sided. The singing by Mrs. Frost and
Miss Stebbins was excellent and appropri-
ate for the occasion and the address by
Rev. r. F. Lowe Of Bratteboro drew the
close attention of all at the beginning and
held it to the finish. Mr.. Lowe elected the
interest of the veterans by first stating that
he was himself the son of veteran and his
wife daughter of one, which though the
first, was not the only evidence of the deep
sympathy and respect which he held for
the Grand Army. Mr.. loves address
took the form of an eulogy upon the life of
Abraham Lincoln, whom he styled "the
typical American president and the best
beloved by every true American patriot.
As he spoke entirely without notes Mr..
Lowe seemed to get very close to the hearts
of all his hearers,
After the services the soldiers divided
into several delegations and visited the
several cemeteries in town and decorated
the final resting places of their comrades
who sleep therein.
On Tuesday afternoon the North school
held very interesting exercises appropriate
to Memorial day, each scholar acquitting
himself well in the part assigned him.
Veteran c. F. Davis was present and added
to the interest of the occasion by telling
some personal "reminiscences of the civil
war.

The fact that the morning game was in
teresting brought out a good crowd in the
afternoon. The Hinsdales took big lead
at the start, but the Reds passed them in
the fourth, after which the locals did not
score. J. Mccormick and Hubbard, the
High school battery went in for the local
team in the last two innings, and created a
very good impression, The game ended
with the seventh inning as the two man
ayers had agreed on that limit. There
was much dissatisfaction in the crowd, but
as that length of game had been agreed
upon, there is no blame to be attached to
the college boys. The score by innings:
