Those who attended the Christmas
festival at the City reported both the
house and tree well filled and pleasant
time generally.
Monday and the following evening
they had similar gathering at Daniel
Coles, only on a smaller scale, since,
with few exceptions, none but family
relatives were invited. About fOrty-five
took dinner there, and the babies were
so plentiful that had President Roosevelt
been present we hardly think he would
have accused the neighborhood of COM
hitting race suicide. Long before even
ing the two Christmas trees began to
bear fruit, and by six o'clock they, to-
gether with line stretched across the
hall, and two tables, were filled to their
utmost capacity. The evening entertain
ment consisted of declarations, mostly
by the little folks, and distributing the
presents. Mrs. Lydia E. Whitman was
managing director and seemed to know
her business. as did also Floyd Morgan.
who acted as Santa Claus. Many of the
presents were of considerable value, the
whole being estimated at SIS. Mr.. and
Mrs Cole had each a five dollar gold
piece presented to them, and it was
limited that perhaps the fact that it was
the 10th anniversary of their marriage
had something to do with the presents.
A collation. was then in order, after
which the whole entertainment was de-
clared grand success, and all retired to
their own homes.
The ice harvest is now on, the blocks
being about Is inches thick, but not so
good quality as last year.
And now the report comes that Mr..
and Mrs. Charles A. Durham of West
Bethel, have become the happy parents
of fine boy baby; and moreover that
both parents are doing well. 1t was just
100 years ago-lS05-that Moses Dun
ham came from Carver, Mass, and set
tied in Hartford; and the way his male
descendants, bearing his name, have
come along is somewhat singular. Grand
father at that time had two sons, and
to-day there are two grandsons, two great
grandsons, aud two great-great-grand-
sons. One hundred years hence and
what then?
Mrs. Chas. b. Brooks is now slightly
