The cast was well balanced, each member equally well presenting his part. There wus not ft dry spot in the play and we hope several more local talents will be a part of our amusements this spring.

They have out down a carpet of excellent de sign and of a quality equal to any outside of Portland. Their hall room is papered with a beautiful design, which is in harmony with the other furnishings. They are supplied with modern conveniences, a mechanical device for the con trolling of the lights in the hall and many other little conveni ences.

The brothers leel justly proud of what they have accom pHshed and take great pleasure in shewing thoir friends their new quarters. Valley Lodge, No. 42. 1. 0. O. F., was organized April 21, 1873.
