 The music appropriate to Thanks giving rendered at the morning ser vice at the Universalist church, un- der the direction of Mrs. Moore, was of exceptional merit and was received with much appreciation. Next Sun day the service and sermon will be appropriate to the first Sunday in EAdvent. .-
 The entertainment given in the vestry of the Universalist church last Thursday evening was greatly enjoyed by the good number present. Charles Holden of Palmer held the close at- tention of all with his sleight-of- hand tricks. He professed to be quite con- cerned lest the small boys present get possession of the secrets, but none of them have been noticed exhibiting their skill along this line. ..tt A brief memorial service was held at the Baptist Sunday school last Sun day as loving tribute to Miss Susan Potter Carpenter, who had so long been a valued member of the school, and who is sadly missed by many.
