The company formed in procession at the de-

Hines Of this village, marched to the grove, where
tables and seats had been prepared by Mr.. Bclden
Of West Mortified, TO whom much praise Is due
for his kindness and for the interest he manifested
In the matter. The Rand entertained the willing
listeners while the ladies prepared the tables and
loaded them with bountiful supply Of such things
as materially contribute to the health and comfort
OF the outer man. A fine swing in the grove
claimed goOily share Of attention from the la
dies and misses
Refreshments were served up at II o'clock, after
which the President Of the day. Rev. Mr.. Davis Of
Hinsdale, called out various speakers. Among
them We noticed Rev's. Mr.. McCollester of Swan
rey, Mr. Perkins Of Winchester, Mr. Webster Of
Chcopee, Mr. Deere Of Brattlehoro, and A. Doc
little Esq, of Winchester, and others whose names
we have not in mind The intervals between the
speeches were filled by the Band, which discoursed
appropriate music very beautifully, by Mr.. Bennett
OF Swanzey, who sung several familiar songs with
good effect, aud with singing from the company
generally. The Bcrnardston ladies presented the
Band with magnificent loaf of cake; but the lat
ter with all their gallantry had not bra. enough
to return their thanks for the compliment. Rev.
Mr.. Deere came to their rescue and performed the
task in a felicitous manner.
The day was fine, and all present seemed deter
mined to enjoy themselves in the best manner
We have their word for it that they were eminent

course. composed largely of children, we noticed
humanity of all ages, from the little thing in
tucker and bib, to the man Of four score years
and ten. The several Railroad companies carried
the participants at half fare, for which, as well as
for their other courtesies, the managers deserve
and received the thanks Of those who were thus
accommodated.

Of last week. The representation was preceded by
tableur pipaafs Of Uncle Tom and little Eva,
othello relating his adventures, Mrs Squeer's

part of the entertainment was highly successful.
The farce Of Shoots at the SWAMI concluded
the entertainment. The principal parts were well
sustained, as all those who had previously wit
messed the capabilities Of Mr.. Bawtree and Mrs.
Van Bibber, were fully assured would be the case.
The remaining characters found approaching rep
resentatves in those who severally personated them
on this occasion.
