BELLOWS FALLS LIBRARY AsSoCIA-
T1oN.-We learn that at the last meeting
Of the Library Association it was voted to
have the library removed to the store of
John W. Moore and an assessment of 30
cents on each share was also voted, for the
purpose of replenishing the library with
new books. There are some further ar
rangements 10 be made not yet completed
by the directors.
Rev c. B. Smith of Townshend, for the
Baptist Church in this village will preach at
Whitman's Hall next Sabbath.
The Brattleboro Phenir says the liquor
agency there has netted the town in four
and three-fourths years, the sum of S6ol 10.
SLEIGH RIDING.-The sleighing is now
tip top" and is being improved thorough
ly. Several parties from this village have
taken trip. Last Saturday, the children
and teachers of the Sabbath School connect
ed with the Congregational church, took an
excursion to Cambridgeport, and returning,
took supper at Scolley's, at Saxton'I River,
where they had very pleasant time. A
few evenings previous party OF sixty, Wis
tied Walpole On Tuesday last, party
from Walpole, 1.-THE school we beieve,)
passed through this village. numbering more
than one hundred. These parties are ex-
ceedingly pleasant and proper, and we
think, profitable. The rosy little faces as
they get about fifteen or twenty in load,
with their childish excitement, are truly
beautiful to behold. May there be more of
them
THE BAND LEvEE.-The Levee by the
Band, last week Thursday evening, at Is
land Hall, was brilliant success, and as it
was so well deserved, it gives us pleasure
to make the record. The playing of the
Band was better, we thought, than on any
former occasion. The pieces were fine and
the time admirable. The +" snatch bag {" on
this occasion, was an institution, and proved
a fruitful source of revenue. But the cred
ii Of it belongs not so much TO the bag
as to the two young ladies who had 1t II
charge; and the young men, Cts no use fol
older ones we suppose } who can induce
them to put off the state of singuiarttg fol
that of double blessedness," win be lucky
Whether any young man actually got thu
bag that evening, we are not informed, bu
they do say that many "snatches were
made after it was empty To be more
serious this bag alone yielded $50. The
grab tree-a new shrub-yielded well, anC
was the most amusing feature OF the eve
ming. The total receipts were about $40
of which 1920 will be realized above al
expenses Our citizens were liberal, a
were also many from out of town. '"
must not forget to mention the exceedingl,
neat and tasty manner in which the bal
was decorated. The pictures and painting
were profuse and gave it the appearance
a picture gallery, and the tables abundant
showed the work and gifts of fair hand
The whole affair was exceedingly pleasar
and satisfactory.
CHEsrER.-On the fourth of March th
citizens of Chester give H. H. Ingrahan
the popular landlord of the America
House, farewell benefit, in the shape OF
grand Ball. The occasion, from reason
unusual effort in way of decorations al
furnishings viii be decidedly THE hop
the season. All hands are in anticipate
of crack time of it, and it is hoped tn
al will cheerfully join hands in this partiI
bumper to '.mine host" Mr. Ingraha
will resign his long and well appointed co
nection with this house on the first Of Ap
