loon on the South Barton ROAD, MS
horse became frightened by the pas
senger train and made sudden leap
over the bank upon the rocks and In
to the pond, throwing Mr.. and Mrs.
Tabor into the water, smashing the
carriage and drowning himself. We
believe no other injury was done them
than giving them good wetting down.
CovENTRY.-We learn from the Elk
press that twenty nine persons united
with the congregational church in Gov
entry last Sabbath, twenty two OF
whom were baptized.
LADIES GooDs.-Miss Cutler has
returned from New York with nice
assortment of millinery goods and
dress trimmings, childrens' hats, &c.
Her stock of feathers, plumes, ribbons,
&C., are extra fine.
LEAvITT's CoNCERTs.-Leavitt is
making a decided sensation wherever
he goes. He has the best troupe that
has ever visited these parts. There
is no sham about it. He has the best
team we have seen for many day
far excelling any we ever saw herald
ing the big caravans or circuses that
occasionally visit our state. His band
wagon is superb-voted by everybody
to be the best they ever saw. They
sang at Glover on last Friday evening
to an overcrowded house. We ap-
pend the following notice of the con-
cert from a correspondent who is mu-
sicalIy inclined:
Mr.. Earle-Dear Sir: Iwish thro'
the columns of your paper to say q
word in reference to the concert given
by Mr.. n. w. Leavitt's troupe, in this
village, on Friday evening, Nov. LIST.
The troupe is composed of twelve first
class performers and their concert
here was perfect success. The town
hall was literally packed and all were
highly pleased. The opening piece by
the orchestra was exceedingly vel
performed, and the music was not as
simple" as the critic in the Lyndon
Union would represent. Of the in
strumentalists where all did so well
it would perhaps seem invidious to in
stitute comparisons, but | must speal
particularly of the violin Duet, emit
tied the Bird of Paradise" by Mr.
Henry Blaisdell and sister, which was
performed in very beautiful and ar
tistic manner; in fact | have heard NJ
violin playing that equaled it since
heard Ole Bull many years ago. Oh
singing we had a good variety an
very fine selections, sentimental, pa
thetic, humorous and strictly comic
in this last department Little Ed
the funny Boy" brought down tn
house repeatedly. Mrs. Emma Beedl
sang charmingly as usual. The stor
entitled "this is the happiest time,
was rendered by her in a very bear
tiful and effective manner, and wa
alone well worth the price Of admit
sion. | think the. criticism in the Lyl
don Union in reference to her " arti
ulation"* was wholly uncalled for an
did the lady great injustice. Takin
the concert all in all, it was every wa
highly worthy the patronage of thos
who enjoy music of a high ORDER
Mr.. Leavitt has spared no pains M
expense in getting up his truly sple
did outfit, and in organizing his troup
and | sincerely hope he will receiy
as he most certainly merits, the pa
ronage of generous public.
Glover, Nov. 4.
ave disagree with our Glover &C
respondent and agree with the Uni
that Mrs. Beedle's articulation"
decidedly bad. Correct this and s
is almost perfect.
CASE OF PROvIDENCE.-During t
very high wind aud storm of rain tt
occurred on last Saturday, the ba
belonging to the congregational soc
ty in this village blew down. T
reminds US of the man mentioned
Luke 6: 40, who without foundati
built barn upon the earth; agail
which the stream did beat veheme
ly, and Immediately it fell; and
ruin of that barn was great"
