Quaker's Farms.
DANCE AND SUPPER.

A dance and supper will be held in Quaker Farms hall on New Years night to be preceded by a minstrel
 entertainment, given under the direc- tion of Floyd Lindley of Ansonla. MT Lindley's troupe is the one that gave the entertainment for Emmanuel church, Ansonia, a short time since and which was so highly spoken of in the papers at the time. The proceeds of this entertainment are to be applied to fund to cell the supper room in the hall, which it is believed will add much to the comfort and pleasure of those who attend the dances held there, hence large attendance is hoped for.
