The deepest sympathy of the village resi-
dents is offered to Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Grant
in the terrible accident which befell Mr.
Grant while employed on steamer in New
port, R. l. A heavy ash bucket fell upon his
head, injuring the skull and producing cor
cussion of the brain, from which at this writ
ing, Monday evening, recovery is considered
doubtful The patient arrived Saturday by
boat and was taken to the home of his father
in-law, Mr.. Frank V. Davis, School street.
DR.. Tapey of Belfast was called Immediately
and pronounced the case most critical, offer
ing but slight hope only in case of reducing
the fever sufficiently to allow surgical opera
ton upon the head. The invalid is suffering
greatly, and is partially paralyzed. We hope
favorable symptoms may appear to re-
lieve the anxious wife and other relatives.
The "Sale and Entertainment" under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society of the
Universalst church last Thursday afternoon
and evening, was a grand success in every
feature. The extensive and beautiful decora-
tions of the hall, fashioned by Misses Pauline
and Louise Griffin, Ruth Robinson ard Mr.
George Hopkins, assisted by Mrs. Percie
Merry, were greatly admired by all entering
the large room. The fancy work, apron, cake
and home made candy tables were well pat
roniZed, and the Goose Exchange" brought
good remuneration to the proficient manager,
Mrs. Elmer E. Thompson The Gypsy Queen,
Yulancie, was an especial hit of the evening,
embellishments, and the stained face and hands
so closely resembling the genuine queen
Gypsy that in passing into the hall someone
exclaimed: "That is real Gipsy' Her for
tunes were particularly apt and curiously
witty, establishing Mrs. Maria (Thompson)
Blanchard's reputation as cute, impressive
teller of impromptu forecasts of the coming
events in the lives of her friends. To laugh
gives one new lease of life" It's said by one
we'll man. The evening program consisting If
recitations by Miss Mary Calkn, solos by Miss
Lucretia Flanders and Miss Josephine Davis,
accompanied by Miss Susie A. Cousens, and
violin solos rendered by young Mr.. Caytinr,
accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Park, gave
great satisfaction to all listeners, as did the |
full receipts of the occasion-over $l21-to
the "willing workers" constituting the Ladies
Aid Society. Thanks are extended to the
many friends who SO kindly assisted these la
dies in various directions, contributing SO es-
sentially to the pleasure and profits of the
affair.
