is out OF the ground; and that details, as to
line OF manufacture, are yet to be decided

to men will be a genuine blessing to our town
The oft-told tale of variable weather this
winter must be repeated in chroniclipp iast
weeks temperature Tuesday gave an over
cast morning, clear midday and snow late in
the afternoon. Wednesday opened with
snowstorm; but cleared in the middle of the
day, bringing a rousing northwest wind and
colder atmosphere. Thursday and Friday were
bright, beautiful days, with an ordinary win
ter temperature. Saturday dawned mild and
pleasant but furries of snow fell toward night
changing to rain during the evening The
present week opened with dull Sunday
drilling rain and fog-and warm, foggy
Monday. The winter must be recorded as an
unusually mild season, having but few Sc
verely cold days.
The farce, "How the Story Crew. given
under the auspices of the Young Peoples
Guild in Denslow Hall on the evening of Feb
ruary 22nd, proved most laughable from begin
ming to end. The situations were highly ludi
crous, and the costumes grotesque in the ex-
IRENE. Every old chest, bandbox and trunk
in the village had apparently been ransacked
for gowns, bonnets and "false fronts to fur
nish the make ups for the following eight
young ladies' appearing in the cast Mrs. Maud
Clifford, Miss Sadie Merrithew Miss Maud
Merrithew, Miss Edna Grant, Miss Bertha
Hutchings, Mrs. Cassie Grant, Miss Effie Cur
It's and Miss Clara Mixer. Between the acts
instrumental music was furnished by Miss
Laura Blanchard; and, on one occasion, duet
meet Me Tonight in Dreamland," was very
pleasingly rendered by the Misses Beulah
Cousens and Bertha Hutchings, hearty en-
core calling forth a response. Owing to the
inclement weather, snowstorm, the audience
was comparatively small; yet SO favorable
report was given by those present, that many,
desiring to see, "laugh and grow fat" request
ed repetition of the performance, and it was
repeated Tuesday evening Of this week, fol-
lowed by social dance. Particulars will APP
pear next week, of the financial features of
"How the Story Crew." on the Stockton
boards.
