appeared from the store sheds.
Some say it went toward or to
saltwater; it is certain that
about eleven o'clock it came at a
mad pace through our village, and
dashed the empty sleigh against
a stone post as it turned at the
SchoOl-house, freeing itself. The
horse was found later at the barn
of Frank Cowhig, where it was
kept.

The meeting of the Christian
EndeavOr Society last Thursday
night, led by Mrs. w. G. Atkins,
was a distinct surprise to many,
it was such a natural helpful

ready shown. The membership
is increasing.
A double quartette, composed of
Mrs. Eben Morrill,, Miss Barnes,
Miss Jacobsen, Mrs. Charles Null
lin, and the Messrs. Phillips,

which is entirely voluntary on the
part of those rendering the serv-
ice, marks a distinct advance in
the conduct of our morning wor-
ship.
A number of young men of
talent met on Monday night to
consider the plan of giving a Min
strel Entertainment in the near
future. 1t is said that the out
