DEhCoNS FOR rs YEARS.
Alexander Gordon and Charles S. Wal
lace HonOred Last Evening.

Adherents of the Barre Congregation
al church and the members OF other
religious congregations in the city gath
cred in the Congregational church last
evening at o'clock to recognize IN y
small way the fact that Charles >.
Wallace and Alexander Gordon this year
complete a quarter of a century OF sery-
ice as deacons in the church. The at
fair continued from eight until ten
O'Clock and was in the nature of an
informal reception to Deaeons Wallace
and Gordon. One of the unpleasant cir
cunfstances of the evening. however, was
the absence of Deacon Wallace, whose
illness of several days past made it inn
possible for him to be present. Other
wise the observance was carried out
as planned and the occasion was one to
remember as a noteworthy event in the
history of the church.
The pastor, Rev. J. w. Barnett had
charge Of the reception. 1t was quite
fitting that the appreciation felt by the
church members for the devoted scrv
ices of the two deacons should find eX-
preston in the words of two or three.
Superintendent O. ID. Mathewson Of tile
city schools, II. G.. Woodruff and Deacon
John Mcdonald were chosen to make re-
marks of felcitatiOn Although of a
brief nature. the sentiments expressed
by each, happily reflected the apprecia-
tioH of the company. Later in the ayen-
ing Deacon Gordon was called upon for
remarks and in response, he gave a
aumber of "reminiscences bearing on
the life of the church twenty-five years
ago and touching upon some Of the
things that have helped to establish
lis healthy growth. Deacon Gordon's
descriptions of this character We're not
the least interesting of the evening.
Frequent references TO the unfortunate
absence OF Deacon Wallace were made
by each speaker and each mention
seemed to voice a general feeling Of
regret that the worthy deacon should be
toforced to forego the pleasure Of partici-
patjug in the observance. Adelightful A fea
ture of the social hour that followed
the remarks, was the rendering of two
double vocal solos by Miss Virginia Pet
er OF Montpelier Miss Peter sang in
her usual pleasing voice and the ac-
were skillfully rendered
BY Miss Gladys Gale
The affair was brought to a delight
full close when several members Of the
ladies aid society served dainty refresh
nents of punch and waters.

A Spectacular Dash Through City.

Crowded Main street witnessed A
somewhat spectacular runaway yester-
day, when a lone horse with a pair of
thlls dangling in its rear came dashiny
down Washington street and continued
on to North Barre before reaching a
stGndstill. The errant steed drove every
thing before it and once on its career
threatened to upset an express team
standing opposite Depot square Like a
magnet. the horses maddened flight drew
shopkeepers clerks and white-coated ton
sorial men out from every place of bust
ness and full-grown circus day crowd
presently gathered in the wake of the
fleeing equine. The usual contingent of
small boys gave chase but soon gave up
for lack of breath No one seemed to
know the owner of the horse, and few
could tell whence it came.
A South Main street blacksmith. how
ever, threw a little light on the mystery
when he told of seeing the runaway
charge suddenly out of the covered bridge
near the Straiton shed. He saw it dis
appear up Hill street. last night it was
reported that the horse belonged to R.
Calderara, Center street merchant, who
hitched him to a delivery wagon and sent
the outfit to Quarry street.
