NE1GHBoR jAcKwooD.-The exhibition Of
the Dramatic Lyceum at Williamstown for
the benefit Of the Willamstown Cornet
Band, was attended by house filled to over
flowing, as long before commencing unable to
accommodate more, tickets were refused to be
sold, and crowds thus turned away The
Drama Of Neighbor lakewood was presented
in splendid style, the characters being we'll
adapted to the parts and with the aid Of new
aud original scenery combined to render it
both interesting and instructive. as it was
void Of anything immoral or distasteful to
the most fastidous. From the hospitable
Neighbor down to the less prominent charac-
tiers, all we're performed in manner credita-
Die to more aspiring arustees, and the marked
attention and applause which greeted many o.
the scenes was very aat;ering commentator
As diversity good music was in attendance
and the Band at the opening and close Of the
exercises performed some soul-surring airs
The Farce "of to the War " was also given
The people Of Wlliamstown may well fee
proud Of the talent this exhibition has brougb
out and to those who desire to visit Tab
leau Exhibitions " there is no need Of de
pending upon city genius when such talen
and skill is so near at hand. In order to giy'
all an opportunity Of attending this enter
tainment two more evenings are set apart
this Wednesday, and tomorrow Thursday
evenings, which will richly repay visit.
The Burlington Times says that a conf
dcnce man calling himself Clark who ha
been figuring in Bellows Falls, Rutland
Brandon, Middlebury and Vergennes, for
few days past, pretending to be engaged il
buying sheep, has swindlcd the banks in thos
places out of more than $4,000 in the az
eregate. The swindle was cfIec,ed by mean
of forged checks and drafts on New York
The several banks have been multched in near
ly equal amounts.
