MIDDLEBURY A HUNDRED Years OLD
Tho Address by Prof. b. Kellogg of
Middlcbury College, and Poem by Mrs.
J. c. II. Dorr of Rutland, delivered at
the Pioneer Centennial Celebration of
Middlebury, July 4, 1866, is about ready
for delivery. The Address is historical
and should be preserved in every family
of the town. Aside from its historic, II
merit it is one of the Professors finest
literary productions, and cannot fail of
affording vast amount Of pleasure to the
reader. Mrs. DORIS reputation as a poet
gives ample security for the merit of the
Poem; and we assure our readers that
this is one of her most successful efforts
The Poem alone is worth the price CT the
book even if we do not consider the local
relations of the subject
Those who have subscribed for it will
