cans of salmon and some trout were I'M

Writ Stanley entertained number of
South Paris and Norway friends at a
game supper at his home Thursday even
ing, party of twelve men sitting down
at the table. The leading feature of the
supper was cartridges and woodcock
which have fallen before Mr.. SANKEY'S
sure gun, but there was fine array of
other good things to fill out the menu
between the serving of the first course
and the time the cigars were reached.
After the supper. the rest of the evening
was spent in playing whist and in general
sociability, and needless to say sports
mems talk and stories played quite
part in the conversation. The evening
throughout was very much enjoyed by
every one present.
The six-iuch supply pipe of the water
system was laid Saturday to within
few rods of the reservoir near the Hoop
er's Ledge road, and the trench is prac-
tically complete TO that point. Some OF
the twelve-inch main from the reservoir
to the village will go into the ground
this week. A portion of the walls OF
the reservoir are built to the full height,
but quite little work yet remains to be
done on it. This reservoir looks pretty
good so far, and there would seem to be
no reason why it should need tinkering
after it is nominally complete. 1t is cir
cular in form, 10 feet in diameter and IA
feet deep, built of REINFORCED concrete,
and will have concrete roof. It's ca
pacity is half a million gallons.
Many instances have been noted this
fall, where an apple tree from which the
worms have stripped the foliage has put
out new buds aud blossoms along with
the ripening fruit. Another peculiar
effect of the invasion may now be &C.
casionally seen. Rock naples which
have been stripped by the worms have
put out a new crop Of leaves, which have
grown to about one-third size. These
leaves, not having matured, have not
colored as they do in the natural course
of events, but though they have dried
and shriveled, and some Of them have
fallen off, they still retain most of their
green color. So one may occasionally
see a clump of rock naples presenting
at little distance almost the appear
ance of spring.
Last wear the Seneca Club inaugurated
the observance of an annual gentlemen's
night by Halloween party which was
so successful an affair that it was thought
it could hardly be equaled another year.
This seasons gentlemen's night was OBJ
served last Friday evening, and it was
demonstrated that it could be made as
enjoyable as last year. The party was
held in Grand Army Hall, and was not
Halloween party. 1t was informal. a
few tables of finch and whist being fill
ed for the early part of the evening.
Very toothsome refreshments were serv.
ed, and then the party limbered up, and
proceeded to march and play Tucker
and other allied games with all the en-
thusiasm and spirit of high school
