NORTH HAVEN.

The proposed visit of Wallingford grange to that of North Haven grange was very much changed owing to the unfavorable conditions of the weather. However, 8 small delegation was pres ent and the programme was made up by the lectureer of Wallingford grange, Mrs. R. H. Stone, and the lecturer of North Haven grange, Mrs. Ezra G. Munson, combining forces, which re- suited in the following programme: After Mrs. Stone was introduced she announced the first number on the pro- gramme, which was finely written and instructive paper by G. F. Bron- son, of Wallingford grange, on "The 1 Duties and Responsibilities of Ameri- can Citizenship" which was followed
 by the reading of clipping by Grace Dickerman, of North Haven grange. F. s. Wizard, of Wallingford grange, then gave in very amusing manner a recitation, using the Scottish dialect, entitled Huh, Huh" A humorous reading 'Etiket'' was next given by Mrs. J. F. Barnard, of North Haven grange, and vocal solo, "When Kate and I Were Coming Through the Rye" was then sung by Mrs. Ezra G. Nun son, of North Haven grange. A very practical poem entitled Gut Behind" was given by N. B. Stone. of Walling- ford grange. The next number on the programme was humorous one enti- tied "A Prescription" and read by Bertha Barnard, of North Haven grange, which was followed by a hu- morous poem entitled "Woman's Rights" given by the lecturer of Wal lingford grange, Mrs. Stone. F. s. Wi ard, Of Wallingford, then recited in his inimitable style another selection enti- tied ''The Lunkheads," and responded to an encore with Apple Blossoms" followed by Mrs. Stone, of Wallingford grange, with a very laughable poem entitled How the Old Horse Won the Bet" after which the members re- paired to the court room, where a col- lation had been prepared by North Haven grange in honor of their guests. The report of the secretary for the last quarter showed the average attendance to be much larger than formerly, being no less than fifty-four, a good record when the great distance many are ! obliged to come is taken into conside- ration.
