Charles Metcalf of Irasburg left his
team near H. B. Smiths slaughter
house Tuesday while he stepped in for
a moment and when he came out the
horses were gone. They ran by the
Valley house at such speed that they
could not make the turn over the
bridge and ran against the iron rail
south of A. D. Beede's store, and
plunged down over the walk near the
stairs leading to J. E. Lyons. One of
the horses fell here, and the game was
up. Neither harnesses nor sled were
broken, and except slight calklng OF
one of the horses and the breaking of
the iron railing, no damage was done.
The presentation of the rural comedy,
Hickory Farm" by the Thesplans
Tuesday evening was no less success
than this company's former productions
and was played to a crowded house,
a large number remaining to the dance
after the play, for which Sawyer's
orchestra furnished music. The new
characters in the cast did excellent work
and will no doubt be permanent mem
bers of the Thespians hereafter. Mrs.
A. w. Fletcher took the part that was
to have been taken by Mrs. Buzzo and
while she had but vey few days to
learn the part did most creditable
work. The players were we'll fitted to
the parts taken and everyone was we'll
pleased. The second presentation
about the first of May will no doubt
draw another crowded house.
