twenty-five members OF the high
school freshman class had a ride TO East
Braintree last night, chsperoned by Miss
Olive II. Moulton, one Of their teachers.
Upon their return, they we're refreshed
with cocoa, sandwiches, olives, waters

good time, to which a crowd OF sopho-
mores and juniors contributed what they
could from the outside.
The concert by the musical clubs Of
Norwich university ut Chandler Music
hall last Friday evening was well attend
ed and thoroughly enjoyed. The cadets
appeared in gtees, instrumental solos,
mandolin club, string quartet and orches-
ira, and their fine work in all parts re-
ceived hearty applause and encore. Cadet
Colburn as reader produced a most favor
able impression. The concert was fol
lowed by a dance at Grange hail for
which the Cadet orchestra furnished
music.
The thaw, which began Friday n has
lowered the snow some two or three feet,
flooded the road near the Charles Lamson

the track, going into the water all over,
while the sleigh sank down until only
the DOCTORS bead appeared above the
flood. He was immersed in the icy water
for ten minutes before Mrs. 2. G. Smith
OF the L-amson farm, whose attention lie
succeeded in attracting, could rally help
enough to rescue him from his dangerous
situation. He was taken to the house
wet to the skin, although he had on a
heavy fur coat, and was so numb from
the cold that ne could not walk. Vigor-
GUS restorative measures we're instantly
applied and under the care OF DR.. l.. w.
Clough OF Bethel, who happened to be in
that vicinity, he rsgained bis normal con-
dition and seemed to experience no i'll re-
suits from the mishap in spite OF the fact
that he will be 81 years old this coming
April. He stayed at Mr.. Smiths that
night and rode home in the morning in
the company of DR.. Clough.
Two Randolph boys, Jackson Vail and
Lloyd Riford, had 20 in the Fayer-
weather hall at Dartmouth college which
was burned Friday night, the fire not be-
ing discovered until under such Roadway
that the inmates had barely time to es-
cape with their lives. Some of them slid
down w~aterpipes on the outside of the
building until the pipes broke and others
we're forced to jump into the snow from
third and fourth story windows. Vail,
who roomed on the ground floor, had
been to Boston 10 attend a fraternity BAN
quet and reached Hanover on a night
train. When be and another fellow en-
tered the hall together there was not a
suspicion OF the fire which started just
across the hall from Wallis room in the
apartment, where all the trunks
of the boys were stored. At 2 O'Clock in
the morning the sleepeTs we're aroused
and, without waiting to make a grande
sought any available exit from
the building, through whose halls and
the flames were in full riot.
Vail and his roommate managed to save
some things from their room but most
Of the boys lost their furniture and what
they did not put on. Riford
was on one of the upper floors. Saturday
Vail came home from Hanover but went
back again yesterday.
