If the person who lost a soft hat at
the late anniversary of Concord Divis-
ion will inquire at the GAZETTE office,
he can recover the tile from a resident
of this city, who took it under tlievim-

his new hat which was taken by some
light-fingered individual.
There was a somewhat detailed state-
ment in the Sentinel recently to the ef-
fect that the owners of the yachts con-
stituting the “Mosquito Fleet” had re-
painted their boats, etc. , preparatory to
the coming sailing season, while the
fact is that nothing of the kind had
been done, and “ Mr. Brotherton’s”
boat belongs to Mr. Priest.
If the bear at the “ Frog-Chik ” ex-
hibition is of the “ cinnamon ” kind
its hirsute covering should be dyed to
suit the name. The writer has many
times seen such animals in their wild
state, but never yet saw one that was
not” cinnamon-colored—from whence
the name was probably derived. The
brute is semi-trepical, a native of the
mountains of New Mexico and Arizona
and is seldom met in higher latitudes.

As C. L. Hubbard was 011 his way to
the fire, Wednesday, he was attracted
by cries proceeding from the vicinity
of the old church. Investigating, he
found a youngster had fallen into apost
hole in such a manner as to be unable
to extricate himself. Mr. H. succeed-
ed in relieving the little fellow from his
unpleasant predicament, after which
he proceeded to the fire none the worse
for the tumble.
A carpet-rag party was held at the
residence of Mr. Arthur \Valdron one
evening this week, which is reported as
being one of the most-enjoyable affairs
ever held in this section. Early in the
evening Mr. Waldron hitched up his
carryall and conveyed to goodly num—
ber of the guests to his home. The com-
pany was augmented by other arrivals
in coaches, carriages, and on foot, un-
til his hospitable home was crowded
with people almost to the rafters. It
was noticed that several of them who
came on foot, found much difficulty in
a search for a blacking brush, which,
however, they seemed to have at last
located in the cellar. Several thousand
yards of carpet rags were sewed—the
prize, a Hubbard squash, for the best
and largest ball, being awarded to Platt
Beers. A dinner that was heartily on-
j oycd was served, and all spent one of
the happiest evenings they had ever
known. Among those present were
Charles Anthorpe and wife, J. A. Mc-
Ginnis and wife, Platt Beers and fam-
ily, Fred. Boerum and wife, Lontte
Smith and wife, and—well, space for-
bids trying to mention the’many others,
all of whom hope .to be present at the
