Where all dressed and acted their parts so we'll it seems unfair to indulge in comparisons However, the teacher, Miss Lillian Converse, most admirably portrayed the severe spinster, while Nellie Carpenter and Charlie Lyon made admirable little oolored pupils. Miss Estella Bart. lett. in silk gown over a hundred years old, was recognized by very few as she came before the exacting com mittee to apply for the school Mrs. Oartha Lyon Korner very kindly took the part assigned to Mrs. Preston, aud in her Navarino cottage bonnet showed she freaks Dame Fashion was indulging in seventy five years ago, while Miss May Lyons bonnet was about the size of postage stamp. It was hard to tell which was most mirth provoking, Miss Nellie Burleson or Willie Cleveland. Miss Mabel Clark. in pink gown and pantalets, made an old time picture, while the costume of Mrs. Clara Pratt Joslin was as funny as any. MT. and Mrs. Hans M. Hansen.

 Rev. E. W. Darrow of Waterford preached in the hall last Sunday, and is expected to be here again next Sunday. Mir.
