 gan. We regret that Dr. Davies did not give the humorous reading he had prom fsed, but he thought the program long enough, and so declined to keep the audi ence longer from the pleasures of the beautiful tree awaiting them. The church was full of people. Three or four adjoin- ing towns were we'll represented. |,

 A merry Christmas gathering was that at Charles Thresher's. Friends were present from Stafford Springs, Rockwell Hill, Hydeville, Thompsonville, Vest ford, Gurleyville, Mansfield Center and Brookfeld, Mass. After partaking of repast the time during the day was spent in social chat. In the evening Christ mas tree, well laden with gifts for old and young, was source of much amusement for all. The entertainment consisted of recitations, readings, singing, etc. The solo by Miss Clara Chaffee was very fine- ly rendered and much enjoyed by all present. A vote was taken to meet again at the same place next Christmas.
