A large party from Island Pond attended the masquerade promenade at East Charleston last Friday, one four-hoise team carrying 29 persons, and there were several other teams, besides others on horseback. They had an en-joyable time ar.d helped to make things merry. On another page will be found a very interesting and newsy letter from the pen of Mrs. John W. Thurston, describing a trip to Cuba and what she and her friend witnessed in Havana.

The' party left Florida Tuesday on their return home, and expect to be in Portland, Sunday, Mrs. Thurstoa returning to Island Pond next week. 'Who were the Puritans" was the subject of au earnest and entertaining address, delivered by the Rev. A. M-Dunstan at Christ Church Tuesday evening.

It was a fine presentation of a most interesting subject, and he was listened to with evident attention and enjoyment by a large congregation. Next Tuesday evening his subject will be "Are Sacraments Necessary?" Service to commence at 7.30. The closing of the membership and the bowling contests of the Y. M. C.

Morse, their total score being 3872. The highest individual string was 110 and made by Mr. J. Gowan. The only thing to mar the eveut was the conspicuous absence of the winning team which made evident the fact, that their "honors" were too easily crushed by "stage fright." The friends of T.

F. Butler will be sorry to hear of the death of his father, Thomas Butler, who died at the home of his son, Johu E. Butler, at St. Itemi, Tingwick, March 18, of cancer of the bladder. Deceased was born in County Tipperary, Ireland, in 1837.

He went to Cauada in 1852 and settled iu Tingwick in 1802, aud for 47 years lived on the fine farm now owned by his son, John where he died. He leaves six children, all present at his death, twenty grand children aud two great grand children. His wife died March 24, 1894. A pleasant evening was enjoyed by those of our townspeople who attended the school entertainment given at the opera hall by the first eight grades, Wednesday evening last. All parts of the program showed the marks of faithful and sympathetic work on the part of teachers and scholars, and the audi, euce signified their appreciation by encoring several of the productions.

Much credit should be given to the teachers for their pains-taking work, and much thanks to the public for their liberal patronage from which over 840 was realized. The money will be used toward furnishing the respective school rooms with articles of beauty and utility. Shocking Accident. Probably the worst railway accident that has happened in the East for several years was at Montreal, last week Wednesday morning, when the Boston express due to arrive at 8.20 a. came into Windsor station at45 miles an hour, crashing into the waiting room, injuring twenty-three persons and killing five.

The accident wasjindoubtedly due to the Mowing out of a plug in the engine just after the train left Westmount station. The engineer was blow 11 from his cab and the fireman so ii'jured that he either fell from his cab or jumped. Mark Cunningham of Montreal West, was the engineer. He was carried to the Geueral Hospital and his sufferings home were 80 that he never rallied. leople in the neighborhood of the station, when they saw the train rushing madly oil to chaos, knew that something was wrong in the cab of the engine ns no sane employe would have a'lowed the train to run at such a break-ueok speed, if within his control.

When the train struck the massive walls of Windsor station ami sent its message of horror thundering around, the engine, with almost human madness leaped upon the debris of wood aud stone, theu stood still like a gladiator in tne arena over Ins defeated victim, seemingly conscious of its destructive-ness. Probably the saddest incident in connection with the accident was the death of Mrs. W. J. Nixon and two children who had come to greet the husband and father, a dispatcher on the C.

P. R. The accident was one of the wildest scenes of death anil confusion that has startled Montreal in man) years. None of its victims had the least forewarning of what was iu store for them and the sight of the engine crashing into the station must have been so appaling that it seemed unreal beyond the power of description. This accident is peculiarly sad to the people of Island Pond, inasmuch as lour 01 tne live killed were lonner residents.

It was here that Mark Cunningham, the driver, spent his boyhood days and drew up to a young man. He left town in the early eighties. Mr. Nixon was a train dispatcher here a few years since, and with his wife and children occupied the tenement over O. L.

J. H. LaRoche Special Agent. Forestry. Dear Herald, In these days when forestry is claiming so large a share of public attention.

I thought perhaps a chapter from my own experience might be interesting to your readers. In the fall of 1870 I bought one pound of white pine seed for which I paid $1.75, and had it planted on about eight acres of laud, where the wood had been cut otf and fire had run. 1 had it planted eight feet apart way. Owing to poor seed or improper planting but few trees came up; some, however, did come up and grew wouder-fully. This was at East Brighton.

The property now belongs to C. O. Stevens of Colebrook, X. H. I got permission of him and last fall cut the best tree of that planting.

It was fourteen inches in diameter on the stump and showed thirty two grains in the wood. It was twelve inches in diameter up twelve feet and showed twenty-five grains there, showing that it grew twelve feet iu height, in seven years. At twenty-four feet in height it was seven inches iu diameter and showed fifteen grains, or that it took seventeen years to reach a height of twenty-four feet. The first log scaled 78 feet, the second log 23 feet, making 111 feet by the Bangor rule. I took the two logs to the saw mill and had it sawed out iu inch boards a few feet more than the scale.

I found by actual measurement that if this tree had continued to grow in the future as in the past, it would have doubled in scale in less than ten years. We have a law which exempts from taxatiou for 10 years land that is fenced aud devoted entirely to tree growing, The State also makes an annualp-propriation of 500 to the Experiment Station at Burlington for lorest seeds and experiment in planting and issuing bulletins for the information of the public, free. Anyone intending to do anything in this line will do well to order from the Experiment Station at Burlington, Bulletins No. 120, Xo. 127 and No.

132. They can be had for the asking and coutain much valuable information the result of actual experiment. They recommend in setting out a pine plantation to set the trees six feet apart each way that gives 1210 to an acre. Suppose 1000 of these live and GUILDHALL Miss Alice Bailey spent Sunday it Lunenburg the guest of Miss Lilian Euright. Charles Stevens has returned fmn, West Paris, where he has the winter.
