MANCHESTER. of the Priest school had a jolly time at 
school yesterday morning in celebra- 
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones of tionof Christmas. During the past 
few weeks the children of the school 
have been making lots of pretty 
things, such as calendars, booklets, 
sachet bags, and the like, for Christ- 
mas, in connection with the school 
work, and these have been displayed 
during the week, making a very 
pretty showing. 
Passengers on the 9 o’clock train on 
the Gloucester branch toward Boston, 
Monday morning, wondered why the 
train came to a standstill just before 
going onto the main line at Beverly. 
A runaway horse was galloping wildly 
toward the Gloucester crossing, and 
the engineer of the train, regardless 
of the gates, brought his train to a 
standstill, effectually blocking the 
crossing, and the horse turned intoza 
side street, where it was captured. 
Few people on the train realized what 
the stop was made for, but the work 
of the engineer resulted in saving 
what would no doubt have been a bad 
smash-up.
