t. The Board of Medical Examiners
will hold meetings at times and places indicat-
ed IN an advertisement printed in another COL
ann. to which we would call the attention of
our readers. It is hoped that all who may be
entitled to exemption certificates, will present
themselves for examination, as it is for the in
terest of all concerned that those who are re-
ally unfit for military duty should be so re-
turned-as in case further draft should be
made upon our militia, the number drafted
will be according to the number of ablebodied
men returned from each town, and not accord
ing to the population as heretofore supposed.
3 Several of our citizens last week had
their clothes lines robbed of their contents,
embracing shirts and other articles of apparel,
causing considerable annoyance to the owners !;
but we understand that most of the articles
have been recovered. They were found in
barn in the southwest part of the town The
perpetrators have not yet been detected, and
no clue to their thieving majesties has been
obtained but sharp lookout will be kept
for them in future.

MUSICAL FESTIVAL AT BRANDoN.-PRoF
RHoDoLpH HALL, of Boston, has recently re-
turned from musical tour in England. We
| think he will be the "bright, particular star"
in the musical galaxy, at the Musical Festival
at Brandon, next week. We publish the fol-
loving from a London paper, showing how he
was received in England
Mr. Rhodolph Hall has, by his inimitable
| performances, achieved for himself a European
| reputation. The echo bugle, on which he dis
| plays his unsurpassed talent, he is perfect
| master of, and all who have heard his skilful
| performances must admit that for beauty and
| accuracy none have ever equalled him in bugle
| Instrumentation. In the beautiful pieces of
| ssHome, Sweet Home" EThe Light of other
! Days." "Lo Here the Gentle Lark" ''The
| Last Rose of Summer" and other similar
| pieces. none who have heard them can forget
| the pathetic beauty which shines throughout
the whole of Mr.. Halls performances. We
are confident that the talent which Mr.. Hall
has displayed In all his pieces, however diff
cult of execution they may be. that he stands
unsurpassed, and is truly deserving of his we'll
earned triumps.-7he Court Circular, Ion
don, Eng, Feb. %, 1862

advertising columns.
