 The dance in the Town hall, last week, was quite a tony affair, large number being in full evening dress. The attendance was too large for the convenience of those present, as the hall was very much crowded. It was very pleasant affair socially. The pupils at the school of music all par ticipated, entering into it with much enthusiasm.
 J. Wesley Wells began threshing last week. He is now working up toward the Center. Those who have had theirs done find the yield of grain to be un- usually good, especially oats, which makes it the best crop in years.
 The apple crop continues to improve with the growth of the apples, yet the crop will not be large one as the tent caterpillar has diminished the average yield fully one-third. F. H. Beers,

A NOTABLE CONCERT.

Those who did not attend the clos ing concert of the School of Music on Monday night do not know what they missed. It was held in the Congre- gational church, which was filled to the door. Hardly ever has an audience been more satisfactorily entertained than on this occasion. The selections were all of very high order and the rendering was such as to reflect great credit on the school and the principal, H. w. Greene. The school closed on Tuesday, though many will remain some time longer. Weshall all very much regret their departure. This has been their holiday and they now return to their homes or fields of labor, and we can all say we wish them success in their calling.

At the end of the fight his right fore
leg was broken. several of his ribs
were caved in. and he was bleeding
profusely from the mouth and sides.
The fight was finally stopped by the
Mexican authorities. who commanded
the owner of the lion to either terml-
nate the fight or submit to arrest.
The fight was witnessed by purely
American crowd. Time and time again
as the enraged animals came together
the crowd cheered Justify.
The fight consisted of fourteen sepa-
rate encounters, and in each case the
bull was the aggressor. He charged
the lion Immediately upon entering the
cage from his stall. The king of beasts
was SO surprised at the furious on
slaught that he retaliated but feebly.
In the second nliXup the honors were
about even. and neither was badly
hurt.
The third round was decidedly in IA
vor of the lion. Springing on the bulls
neck. he drove his teeth in, remaining
in that position for several moments,
but released bis hold before he did any
serious damage The remaining en-
counters were all in favor Of the bull.
The lion was cornered and tossed
about till his leg was broken. The lion
is owned by A. ]. Morrison of Los An
geles. who was formerly a trader with
the natives in South Africa.

beasts and snakes is appalling. Last
