That play of little Buckshot,
which came off in Chadwick Hall las
Wednesday evening, was a scream
from start to finish, and the audi
ence which packed Chadwick Hall t.
witness these amateurs perform seem
ed to feel that they got thei-
moneys worth. The william was
william indeed, while the hero ant
heroine seemed to relish their part
and gave the onlookers an impression
that they had practiced a part OF the
play in private, but then it takes
practice to make perfect, and they
did it well. The proceeds went fol
the piano fund for the school, most
worthy object, and they realized
about twenty-five dollars.
If any. one has a good family horse
about twenty-five years old that is
not afraid of the whip and will
stand without hitching, they can
find a customer in Harry Hinman, as
the horse which his five year old boy
drives has no respect for Harry, the
Town Clerk and crinoline. Harry ex-
plains the antics of the beast this
way: "He was so busy talking he did
not notice which way the horse was
going but it proved to be backing,
and the runners dug in and then the
sleigh reared up in front and the
ladies on the back seat got out back
wards without any regard to the
order of their going, and it was rain
ing lust like the D-l and they sat
right down in the water, and spoil
ed all their best buds and they blam-
ed him, when it wasn't him but the
blame old horse" Parts of the sleigh
were found in the morning by the
Wavside, and as soon as the women
folks get their clothing dry we ex-
pect to hear their side of the story.
Nevertheless Harry is in the market
for a safe horse.
Mrs Milo A Jewett, widow of the
late Doctor Milo A Jewett, U. S. Con-
sui to Norway, is the guest Of Miss
Keyes.

Much sympathy is felt by the many |
friends of Mrs Ida V Folsom in her
sorrow over the sudden death of her
brother, George Albert Hamilton,
whose death occurred at Woodsville,
N. H. early Sunday morning.
At the last annual meeting OF the
Congregational church and society
there was a committee elected to
consider the feasibility Of having the
history of the church compiled and
printed. Several non-residents, who
are deeply interested in the church,
have manifested an interest, even 60
ing so far as be willing to give the
project financial support. If we are
going to have this history written up,
t seems that now is the time while
he material, historian and funds are
N sight. Would it not be we'll to
,all a meeting of the committee
