The Cholr Committee's Gordian Knot.

With haggard look and tearful eye, The choir committee vainly try An ancient maxim to refnte, An entire church at once to suit. Raeli men, they did but tempt their fate, Nur saw their error till ton late; Now, with their cup of sorrow full, They'll ne'er attempt the Impossible.

Their duty this: A church quartette, l'o suit the varylug tastes, to get. They listen long to candidates, Discuss their manners, tones and rates.

A basso comes, robust and strong, And tells the tale of Christ in song. His range-the lowest tones be hit; Hix price-'twas quite the opposite.

And thus they come in endless throng, With volces weak and voices strong. Some sing too fast and some too slow, Too mild, too rough, too high, too low, To thick of speech, a nasal twang. "Iwas thus the various singers sang.

Then with determination grim, Regardless uow of wish or whim, They finally select a choir And brave the congregation'e ire. Let the dissatisfied rebel The die Is cast-for truth to tell, Who fails to suit the tastes of all Should snit himself and eud the thrall.

Ibe Fences.

The SENTINEL has for years advocated the removal of front fences, especially the old dilapidated vues, and the result has been, where they have been takeu down, most satisfactory, so far as the This has heeu noted and commented upon quite frequently. In many cases, however, the practical results have not been favorable in view of the fact that pedestrians have selfishly considered these private lands as public high waye. resulting in the destructiun nf the grass and quite often pretty flower beds. If a little more consideration could be exer- cised in this direction the people who have removed their fences would be more reconciled to having contributed something towards making their homes more attractive.

Memorial Day Resolution.

The nineteenth annual encampment of the Graud Army of the Republic, held at Portland, Me., in 1885, adopted the fol- lowing:

"Memorial day is the choicest in the calendar of the Grand Army-a day of sweet remembrances, dear to every loyal heart, and any violation of its sacredness by making It the occasion for frivolity and amusement, such as characterizes the Fourth of July, should be treated as an indignity to the comrades who died that their country might live."

This protest against the desecration of Memorial day, uttered so many years ago by the order, should not be forgotten.

The surveyor has found a good deal of trouble in finding bounds at Hoag's pearl, no far as the old deeds give any direc tions. The old stumps and stakes and stones bave disappeared or changed xo they are no longer recognized. The pro- posed location of a summer resort there

has caused an attempt to locate the right land divisions by the parties interested. The pleasure boats at Highland lake have been bought for service at Hoag'a pond and the turuout on the rallway at that point is being made louger, so as to accommodate several cars at the same

time. Over 100 men are at work on the liue from Bellingham Four Corners to Milford.

The fire alarm is now in working order again. Last Tbureday evening it was The Norfolk County commissioners having completed their apportionment of the county tax of $165,000 for the tested by sounding the number of each box.

Milford base ball looks a trifle doubt- ful, as the directora of the M., H. & F. street railway company could not see their way clear to fence the old athletic grounds ou East Main street and erect bleachers and a grand stand for the base ball association. They offer a douation of $150 toward supporting a team. The

only remaining hope of the association is the Milford, Attleboro & Woonsocket company and unless they provide grounds Milford will have no base ball worthy of the name this year.

For the first time a smoke was seen to ixNhe yesterday from the huge smoke. stack at the Unionville power house, in dicating that the fire had been started in the big boilers, and that the 250 hvise- power engine would soon be ready to force the electric fluid as far out into the surrounding towns as should be required. The battery of two boilers is already in position, one engine is up and the big 650 horse power Is already being set up.

Laying Ralls to Milford.

With fine weather this force sbould bave the road com- pleted as far as the green store in South Milford by Saturday, and by June 1 the tracks will be laid into Milford. Fifteeu days later cars will leave Main street for Milford, Woonsocket, Attleboro, Wren- tbam and Foxboro.
