LOCAL INTELLICENCE.

The LEcTuEEs.- Mr.. Southgate delivered
day evening of last week. 1t was an able perfor-
nance and gave full satisfaction to the auditors.
We'learn that the net proceeds of the course was
$50, which was equally divided between the cler-
gymen of the village. The amount ofbeneft these
several lectures have been to those who have heard
them cannot be so readily nor exactly estimated
In the way Of conveying information and suggest
ing matters for thought they cannot have failed of
haing prndnGtive of beneficial results.
Great credit is due to the young men who have
had this matter in charge. Their berth was no sim
ecure. The emOluments of such stations more
nearly resemble kicks than coppers, and are gen
orally anything but agreeable.
1t is understood that John G. SAKE will deliver
one of his Poems in this village sometime in April.
His health is fully established that he is able to
fulfil his numerous engagements.
REVERE House This hotel has been leased to
Mr.. L. v. H. Crosby, the well known humorous
and comic singer Of New England He is to take
possession on the first of April. In the mean time
the building has been altered, and thoroughly re-
paired. Mr.. James Fisk. the owner thereof, has
done much for the village in building and keeping
up this establishment If the lessee shows as much
enterprise in mnstering to the requirements of his
guests it will not suffer from lack of patronage
The rooms in that Hotel are among the most desi-
rable in the place for those who wish to spend
few weeks in our pleasant village.
The east room on the lower floor, with the base
ment underneath, has been taken by the officers of
the Bank of Brattleboro, and preparations are now
in progress for the removal oftheir Banking House

rolese Bandit; Sailor; Yankee; Teamster; and "a
fine old cciored gentleman, of the blacklist of
his kinds Several gentlemen appeared in the
uniform OIL officers Of the United States Army, and
others in the costume Of 70 OF the appearance
of the ladies it is sufficient to say that their modes
and manners would grace the saloons of Newport
or Saratoga. They all looked 50 beautiful and APP
peared So fascinating that we throw down the pen
in attempting to portray their charms. This was
the sequel to series of social hops.
HIRAM ATKINS, editor and publisher Of the Bel
iolcs Falls Argus, has, we learn, been appointed
Postmaster at Bellows Falls Seeing these things

ing ''minssrels' came to our village this week and
posted few hand-bills announcing that they would
give concert on Tuesday evening. At the ap-
pointed time they went to the Town Hall expecting
to soc II filled to its utmost capacity. Judge Of
their surprise when they found scarcely bakers
dozen present They postponed their entertain
ment and quietly left town tie next day, probably
not quite 50 well satisfied as they were yerdant,
