lows Falls Cornet Band will give prom
enade concert and Levee, at Island Hall,
on Thursday evening of next week. The
ladies of the village will furnish variety
of refreshments ON the occasion, and we
have no doubt it will be festival of much
interest. The Band have to bear heavy
expenses, and are now much in debt, to
which the proceeds of the Levee will be
applied in liquidation. On many occasions
they have given their services freely, and
last July were duly engaged for the day,
but never received dollar. Their neat
and handsome uniforms, too, have been
heavy expense. There is general good
feeling between our Band and citizens, and
we are confident there will be a handsome I
response. In many places, the instruments
for bands have been furnished by the eiti-
zens, but here it has been otherwise, and
since their organization they have paid over
$4,000 out of their own pockets, to defray
expenses, and there are, therefore, good
reasons why they should receive gener-
Gus patronage.
EARLY VEGETABLEs.-Early lettuce,
cucumbers, tomatoes, &c, are obtained by
starting the plants in the winter, or early
spring. Seed plantedin February or March,
will be found in May, when the frosts are
out of the way, quite thrifty plants, which,
set out in the garden, will be some three or
four weeks in advance of those sown after
frosts have disappeared. The best way to
SOW the seed is in the :" Green House Pots,
manufactured by 0. n. Russell, at Pat
torsvilIe, N. H., and kept for sale in this
village by Russell Hyde. These pots are
made so that the plants can be transferred
to the garden, without disturbing the earth
around them and thus their growth is not
retarded by transplanting. Those who de-
sire early vegetables, should now make
these arrangements.
On Thursday of last week a robin

gave very satisfactory evidence of life and
animation. Its visit, however, was very
cordially received.

A. NJ, and close in the evening with a
grand concert. We have no doubt it will
be an occasion of much interest.

pockets.
