Celebrated Royalty.

The evening of Monday last, Jan. 18th,
will long remain memorable one, not
only to Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Dealey,
whose silver wedding anniversary was
celebrated on that date, but also to the
large gathering of friends who were
privileged to be present on that occasion.
By pre-arrapged plan Mr.. and Mrs.
Dealey were invited out to tea, Mrs.
Dealey for the afternoon, and upon her
departure from home, lady friends took
possession of their residence on Pleasant
street, and with busy hands and light
hearts the time went quickly while they
were decorating the several rooms with
a profusiou of cut flowers, and preparing
a dainty luncheon to be served later.
By invitation houseful of neighbors
and friends gathered in the early even
Ing, and about eight o'clock, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dealey were summoned home on
simple pretext, to discover the above
state of affairs.
After the serving of the dainty lunch
con prepared, and listening to few
remarks by Rev. II. W. Kimball, S. W..
Gould, Esq, In behalf of the friends
assembled, presented Mr.. and Mrs..
Dealey with beautiful couch and a
dozen solid silver teaspoons. Both OF
the recipients responded in most feel
ing manner, after which the gaietes
continued until late hour.
The instigstors and managers OF tn
successful affair were Mrs. f. L. Good
rich, Mrs. M. B. Heselton, Mrs. w. FL.
Heselton, Mrs. S. L. Whittier and Mrs.
George S. Webb.

For the REPORTER:
High School Notes.

Miss Irene Higgins of 80, visited
school on Tuesday.
Minnie Snow of 100, who spent the
holidays in Boston and vicinity, came
back to school, last week.
A good picture of the foot ball team is
one OF the new attractions of our school
room. 1t is a fit reminder of our "Un-
defeated Eleven" of the past season.
The interest In the lyceum seems to
be increasing, about 30 members being
present at the last meeting. The paper
was read by Don Merrill. 1t was we'll
filed with news and good number of
pleasant Jokes. 1t also had good
articles upon the Transvaal. The ques-
ton Resolved ''That England is pursuing
a wrong policy in her relations with the
Beers" was debated by Smith and Ian
caster, affirmative; and by Wildes and
Warren, negative. The arguments were
based upon the facts of the case thus
giving us some good ideas of England's
policy In the IransVaal.
We received an invitation from the
Waterville High school to meet them at
Waterville in joint debate sometime the
first of March. After considering the
question we decided to accept, and, our
principal will make the necessary ar
rangements. In order to promote prac
tice the boys voted to have public
meeting in the near future. In accept
Ing the debate with the Waterville High
school, even il defeated, our school will
show at least, that she possesses pluck
and energy. There is nothing to lose in
meeting the w. II. $. for she is vete-
ran in debating; and il we win we will
at least gain one more victory for our
school.

Concert and Ball of Co. e.

The military ball given under the
auspices of and for the benefit of Co. E,
n. G. s. M. was held In Cnburn Hall,
last Thursday night, and was largely
attended.
The hall was decorated with the vari'
Gus trophies won by this company in
years past at the annual musters at
Augusta and with flags and bunting.
1t was about o'clock when the CON-
pany, under command of Capt. Dunlap,
marched to the hall, escorting a delega-
ton of Oosoola division u. r. K. p.
Shortly after the grand march started
led by Gen. F. E. Hoyt of Lewiston,
Inspector General of the 2nd Regiment
and Mrs. c. A. Rogers and were follow
ed by over one hundred couples.
The floor was managed by Nay s.
yarney and C. F. Thomas with Fl. G.
Soule, viii Towle, Clair Savage, II. c.
Woodbury., J. A. Avore, r. FL. Ceilings,
Elmer Thibault and Irving Rice as aids.
The success Of the affair was In 40
small measure due to the efforts of the
general committee of arrangements,
Capt F. G. Dunlap and Lieut.. G. A.
Rogers.
Dancing was INDUCED in till about
2 80 Friday morning, for which most
excellent music WAS furnished by
Kendall's orchestra, when the special
train returned to Waterville. Late cars
we're also run to Madison and Norridge-
wock. At the intermisson lunch was
served by Caterer Fairbrother.

Albert Thompson.

Albert Thompson died, the 18th in
slant, at Rumford Falls at the home OF
his daughter, Mrs. J. II. McKeeman, at
which place he had made his home the
most of the time for the past three
years. His age was II years. For some
time he had been in feeble health, having
had paralytic shock few years ago,
from which he never fully rec )yered.
Mr.. Thompson has during his life been
resident of North Arson nearly 40
years He was the son of Christopher
and Annie Gray Thompson, who were
among the earliest settlers of Embdeu,
and was one of a family of twelve chill
dren, seven of whom are living, namely:
Abial g. Thompson, Lewiston, Me-;
Joshua Thompson, Hudson, Wisconsin;
Lyman G. Thompson, Charlestown,
Mass. Mrs Irena Patterson, Wisconsin;
Mrs. Elyira Veasie, Mrs. Annie link
ham and christopher Thompson, Madi-
son, Maine. This family is a most
remarkable one for longevity, as MIR.
Thompson's rather lived ID be 90 years
of age aud his mother 90 years, while
his youngest brother is so years old, and
his oldest brother is 10 years. Strange
as it may seem this family have seen but
little sickness, hardly enough at any
time during their lives to necessitate the
calling of physician. Mr.. Thompson
married Mary Robinson of Concord, and
three daughters were born to them,
Mrs. j. Il. McKeeman of Rumford Falls,
Me-, Miss Laura Thompson of Boston,
M ass, and Mrs. Meier Eames of this
village. Mr.. Thompson was a pleasant,
industrious, kind-hearted citizen, and
will be remembered by many who knew
Him in other days. His death removed
another one of those old gentlemen who
made life busy in our town three dec
AIDES ago. The remains were taken to
this village, Friday night, and the fun
eral services were held, Saturday after
noon, Rev Mr.. Markley of the Univer-
salst Church in Skowhegan, officiating.
His three daughters, two sisters and two
brothers were present at the funeral.
The burial was in the cemetery here
beside his wife, who died ten years ago.

far enough to be an easy prey for
the lurking foe. Then, too, it occurred
to him that he must not leave the
ranch unprotected. Already he was
within long rifle range of the height;
already probably some beady eye was
glancing through the sights, and the
deadly tube was covering him as he
came bounding on. Three hundred
yards more and his life probably
wouldn't be worth a dollar in con-
federate money, and wisely the young
leader began to draw rein, and, turn

companion, laboring along one hun
