To say that the concert was perfect sue
cess is but a feeble expression Of the entire
satisfaction that was given to the large com
pany present, by every one who had a part to
perform in the Programme Where every
one sustained his part perfectly, it might
seem invidous in us to specify individual in
stances, but we were particularly pleased with
the " Solo and chorus, - Beautiful Star = as
also with "The Shepherd Pipe with Flute
Obligato,' by the Nocalists, under the direc-
ton Of Mr.. II. D. Hopkins, which was rap
turously encored, and repeated with renewed
applause from the audience. The playing by
the Band took us all by surprise for where
we had expected the mere Introductory les
sons from school boys Of six months prac-
tcc, we found the skill and harmony Of a
thoroughly drilled company. The Cornet
Solo, -- Introducing Mountain Echoes by
Mr. J. Rice the popular director Of the Band,
was capital thing Of itself most copitady
executed but we are quite sure it would
have sounded much better had it been played
in the open air, where the echoes would have
had more the effect of reality.
Now that our citizens have had a ioretaste
Of the musical skill that exists in our midst,
we trust they will not allow it to droop and
die from the want Of that support which it
really ought to have from them, but that they
will demand repetition of the good things
served up for them on Monday evening last
by the Montpelier Comets.
In this connection we wish to suggest the
real pleasure that our citizens would derive
from a series of outdoor concerts by the
Band. 1t would be a pleasure not only to
themselves but to the many strangers tempo
rarily stopping with us. and would add new
attraction to our town, which, when once re-
Allied would not soon be dispensed WITH
Who will head the list for such an enterprise
For THE LITTLE FoLKs-We are request.

dience but it was reserved for Miss Scott
with her clear, meodious voice, to draw on

Mr.. Moore will favor us with another visit.
LOST MAN RETURNED. - Thomas Carr
whom we noticed as missing from Berlin col
ncr last week. returned to his home on Sunda
morning last. He had wandered about upo
the mountain in state of partial derang,
ment, for nearly nine days, and when h
reached home was conscious of having bee
absent only one night. The most laughabl
incident connected with his disappearance an
the search for him, is the part that the SC
