 A Domino Party.
 The domino party, which constituted the second assembly at the Town Hall. Friday evening was pleasant and unique eend-of-the-season event. Thirty four people participated in the grand march and there were many surprises when the dancers removed their masks at 9.30. The festivities continued until about midnight. Several square dances" were introduced in order that "ye olde folke" who are not familiar with modern terpsichore might take hand (and foot) in the festivities. During the evening Canaan warbling virtuoso introduced, by the way of novelty, selections on his ''mugaphone" which elicited much ap- plause. The fantastic costume of Albert Brewer attracted much attention and brought hand' from the audience when he entered the hall. It consisted of a kimona hung at half mast, with head gear to correspond. At to- morrow even- ing's meeting, cards and other games are on the programme and the following week another dance.

 The Chinese laundryman, whose place of business is in the Pequigney house, is quiet, peaceable and law abiding resident, but quite frequently in the past he has been the victim of atrocities per petrated by certain village boys. Last Saturday night five of these boys, every one of whom had previously been be- friended by the Chinaman, broke his windows and committed other depreda- tions. The Chinaman appealed to 6 friend, who is a brother to one of the youngsters implicated in the mischief, andsthe result was that the window was replaced at the boys expense. These youngsters all know better than to in- jure property or modest pcaceable citi- zens and deserve vigorous punishment for their misdeeds.
