The Congregationalists presented their
entertainment at Town hall Friday
evening before a crowded house. The
feature was the play Aunt Jerusha's
Quilting Party" which presented in a
realistic way an old-fashioned quilting,
the supper which followed it and the
evening of social enjoyment. Local hits
and the singing of old-time melodies en-
livened the piece, and it was success
gin every way. The farce ''Maidens All
Forlorn' was very humorous and a novel
and laughable climax was sprung on the
audience at the end of the piece A
troupe of little minstrel boys gave an
act which came in for liberal share of
the evenings applause. The character
