In justice to the poets it may be
well to assert that the rhyme
Sheridan Twenty Miles Away" did
more to make the hero of Winches-
ter celebrated than all the news
paper reports of the affair.-Scran-
ton Tribune-Republican
Every growing, ambitious town
is composed of three elements:
Those who work patriotically, Wig
orously and intelligently for its ad-
vancement; those who are in state
of apathy or Indifference; and those
who take a curious delight in dis
couraging the efforts of others by
ridicule, and by a persistent denial
that any progress can or has been
accomplished, and by boasts of every
other town besides their own. The
last class are called croakers, but
they are really something worse,
for their opposition does not arise
simply from dependency, but from
that unenviable spirit that will
neither act itself nor suffer Others
to act.--Bellefonte Watchman.

Last Tuesday Norre Dame Academy
celebrated the day OF ali days.in the
year agreeable and most festive to In
mates and friends of the school. The
solemnities began with high mass dur
ing which the Congregational singing
specially prepared for the occasion
was tremendously rendered, the offer
tory selection, Quid Retribuam, being
particularly fine.
After breakfast informal greetings
were extended to the beloved Superior
by the pupils and friends, who at the
same time presented her with many
substantial tokens Of affection. A long
promenade around Putnam Heights
proved a very pleasant diversion from
the ordinary daily walk and an eiiec-
tive appetizer for the snmptuous ban
quet which awaited the young ladies'
return.
The afternoon was marked by "A joy
BUSINESS characteristic OF tha occasion
aud the general merriment did mol
abate but was rather increased by the
presentation OF the evenings program.
Each number, both musical and litef-
airy, was exceptionally we'll executed
and heartily commended by all pres
ent, but the Juniors fluctuations
seemed to appeal most directly To the
heart OF 5r. Paula, whose love for "the
little ones" Is proverbiai. At the close
of the entertainment the Rev. FIR.
Dykemann gave pleasing talk on the
conspicuous virtues and arduous la.
bors OF the great Apostle OF the Cen

There were two weddings In 1t.

first wedding was at seven o'clock,
when Rufus Lapalme and Miss Berna-
dotte Jones were made man and wilc
by Rev. John Dykeman, who also
sang the nuptial high mass assisted by
the nine o'clock choir. This wedding
was TO have taken place on Tuesday
but was performed ON Monday ON ac-
count Of the serious Illness OF tho
groom's mother. For this reason slsa
affair, which had been more elaborate
~ planned, was quietly carried out.
The second ceremony was ut eight
o'clock when Miss Cecil Magnan.
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Pierre Mag
nan, Elm street, became the wife Of
Edward J. Lizotte. As the wedding
march was played the bridal party
marched down the center aisle TO the
altar. The groom, with Miss Maria
Robillard, who acted as bridesma aid.
came first and were followed by tho
bride and the sroomsman, Isaac
ldzotte. They were met at the altar
by Rev. John Dykeman, who PERFORM
ed the nuptial ceremony. A nuptial
high mass WAS then sang by Rev. FIR.
Dolab. solo was sung by Armand
Magnan. Following the ceremony 4
reception was held ut the home Of the
brides parents. Mr.. aud Mrs. Lizottc
left on the 1890 train for Boston.
After their wedding trip they will re-

such. in rough outlines, was Putnam
up TO about twenty years age, Only
those who were familiar with its con.
dition then can begin TO estimate the
great transformation that has been GO
ing on from the time mentioned, and
has wrought such remarkable change
in the general appearance OF the place.
Among those who have not visited
Putnam, was Mr.. George Tillotson, the
son of Rev. George J. Tillotson, who
built the house at the head of the street
named for him. The young man was
taken around the city, and expressed
surprise at the improved appearance
at every point. When he passed the
High School building, which he had
never seen, he expressed admiration
at its appearance even for such large
place as Putnam had grown. He was
still more surprised when told that the
town was to build High School cost
present requirements of the school.
\ spirit of improvement was evoked
at the time mentioned, that has gone
increasing in force, not only publicly
but individually. The drainage of the
pond was the first step in the move
ment: then the agitation for new
common school building, a new rail
road station and other needed improve
ments. II was found necessary To have
a city charter To accomplish all the viii
lage needed to have done. 1t was done,
and the various Improvements were
undertaken citywise and townwise I'M
til new and improved phase has been
placed upon the entire aspect of the
city.
When Governor Weeks visits the
city he will see many indications of
recent excellent Improvements, but
will not know the contrasting ugliness
they have displaced. If he were made
acquainted with the facts and the hear
tiness with which our citizens brought
about the great changes TO make the
city attractive and desirable for homes
for a worthy class Of people, 1t would
greatly rebound to their credit for public
spirit, enterprise and self.saeritice. 1t
would be no easy task, but the recep-
ton committee might do something
towards it, so that the distinguished
visitor could bear away with him a
better conception of our city and people
than what mere sight of what has
been done could afford him.
Governor Weeks has consented TO
change the date he firstlanEounced to
come to Putnam, Wednesday, Feb. 8,
to Tuesday, February sth--as was re-
quested by f.. NJ. Wheaton, President
of the Business Mems Association. II
is therefore settled that the Governor
will come to Putnam and address the
citizens, not only of this city but from
all this section of the State-which Is
his expressed desire.
Next week more special announce
ment of the meeting will be made. IL
will be held in Hammond Hall.
In the meantime let every citizen of
this and surrounding towns arrange TO
be- present at this meeting and hear
the Governor. He has not made known
the subject, but no doubt 1t will be pre-
pared for the people of this part of the
State and will be of much interest To
them

day afternoon, because he did not take
out his peddler's license when he ought
TO have done SO.
There have been repeated warnings
given the peddlers that they must pay
their license fee or pay the penalty.
Notwithstanding there are anumber Of
men who have failed to come forward
and renew their licenses, and il has
been the theory Of the police that they
have talked the matter over among
themselves, and decided TO wait and
see what would happen II they did not
comply with the ordinance.
The Mayor ordered the Captain of
Police To enforce the ordinance. lie
has therefore been on the lookout for
The dellnquents. Going up Providence
street Monday afternoon Goldman was
seen driving up Church street. As he
was known as one of the peddlers that
had not renewed his license, he was
followed As he drove up Church street,
and turned into Ballou street, where
Goldman entered house, and the Cap
tain waited for his return. When he
came out he was arrested. Then he
was more than willing TO pay his IL
cense money now that he was corner
ed, but il was too late. He was ordered
to drive to the police headquarters and
upon his own request he was brought
before the court at $50, pleaded guilty,
and paid the above fine and costs and
also his license money.

MEETS IN A BUSY SESSION
tContinued FROM page one. /

The'new feature of our school work
this year is sewing in the sixth, sew
enth and eighth grades. The girls of
these grades take their lesson in sew
ing in their respective rooms while
the boys are doing shop work in man
ual- training. Many short visits to
this work show that the, pupils are
enjoying II and are making excellent
progress. They appreciate the prac-
tieal value of learning to sew. We
believe the patrons of the school will
be interested in n little outline of in
struction In this branch. Miss Nissen
reports that her pupils have thus far
given close attention to the proper
use of the tools used in sewing. The
correct position OF holding the needle
and the application of various stitch
es. The proper use of the thimble on
the right hand and finger, and the
proper position of holding scissors
while cutting. The strength of var
.ious stitches. The application and
neafness OF various seams In gar
ments. Now the classes are taking
up drafting and garment-cutting.
They will also later on give attention
to the mending and darning of worn
garments. So far the sewing has been
done by hand. but the pupils and
teacher are looking forward with
great anticipation to the sewing ma
chine and the instructions for using
its various attachments. Arn1
