A masquerade party was given last Mon
day evening by Misses Grace and Cecil
Littlefield at their home on Main street.
Nearly twenty couples were present and
their costumes were tasteful and unique.
They had very pleasant evening.
The late Gilbert D. Kellar of Waldo at
the time of his death owned a pung that
was built for the late Prescott Hazeltine of
Belfast in 1859 by Mr.. knight of Knox.
The pung has been in use every winter since
it was built and is in good condition now.
A joker in Belfast was ''hoist on his own
petard" last week. A friend had sent away
for a bloOded rooster, and the joker went to
the friends house, took a common rooster
from the pen, Grated it and carried it to the
express Office Another who was in the
secret told the owner that his bird had
come, and the owner went straightway to
the express Office to get it. He saw through
the joke at once, and notified the joker, le-
gally, that the bird must be returned forth
with to avoid further trouble.
