Threshing Old Straw.

There was a large audience at the Methodist church on Sunday evening to listen to a temperance address by Rev. L. W. Lockwood of Boston. He proved a very interesting speaker, showing that there sre still a great many interesting things that still remain to be said on this much-discussed subject. He took bis text from the thought, "Come ye up to the help of the Lord agajust the mighty." His method of dealing with the traffic appeared to be through the cburch, since it was a fight for God and home and native land. To the church members the duty appears to be dele- gated, and a firm and consistent fight must be maintained if victory is to be won. W. C. Sherman aud Mrs. C. L. Stewart rendered vocal selections, and the exercises were further enlivened hy organ and violin selections.

Arbor Day Exercises.

At 9 o'clock Saturday morning our trea warden, Dr. D. M. Hodge, in the

presence of many pupils and friends of the public schools, set out three trees upon the lawn of the Horace Mann school. The trees were two maguoliss, stellata and sonlangenena, and a catalpa

with the singing of "America." Dr. Hodge then made a short address, speak- ing of the appropriateness of the loca- tion for his first work as tree warden. He leaves the trees in the care of the Horace Mann students, and suggests that the best way to care for them is to leave them alone.

Rev. I. W. Sneath offered prayer for the welfare of the schools and gave thanks for lessons taught by Nature.

Norfolk Counly Home for the Aged. The King's Daughters' circles of Nor folk county have formed themselves into a corporation, with a charter, for the purpose of establishing a home for the aged. On Satmday, April 21, at the 1u vitation of V. s, Pond, the board of trus- tees, with other friends, visited the old Pood homestead nt Pundville, near Fox- boro, which the owner proposed to give them if found suitable for their purpose. The tristees were so well satisfied that the place could be made into a de sirable and restful "home" that they voted to accept Mr. Poud's generous of fer. It is believed that those who have happy homes of their owu will be mier ested in giving toward needed rejans .. the "Nurfolk County Pond Home," flott it may soon be opened for the worthy, bomeless ones of the conoty, and that by gifts and bequests many will wish to help sustain this much . eeded charity. For further particulars address the clerk of the board, Mrs. H. M. Deau, Kead- ville, Masa.
