The third day develops a largely IN
creased attendance, deeper interest and
better music as results. Mr.. Perkins Is
a workman possessing the rare quality
of accomplishing marked results in a
quiet and unobtrusve way before you
are aware of 1t, his work is done and
thoroughly done. Halls Cornet and
String Band are here, as also the Albany
Quartette. This afternoon Mrs. Hall
sang sweetly "Brdle's looking out for
Me-" bringing tears to many any eye.
Messrs. Whitney and Mclean rendered
finely duett frpm the opera of "Mar-
tina Miss Hoag presiding at the piano,
Miss Weeks sang "Maggie's Secret, !"
and so introduced herself most favorab-
~ to the convention. Mr.. j. E. Perkins
sang the "0ld Sexton" and we thought
that the sepulchral old fellow was really
around. Real solid work is doing on
Memberships 42d Psalm. This grand
production is to be given by the conyen-
ton tomorrow friday night. As l
close the first concert is passing, with q
full house. 1t is worthy Of more con-
sideration than am at liberty to give it
now. l will reserve my remarks for this
for your next issue, With this last line
Halls Band are playing a selection from
the opera of Martha" and how can |
write. What with choruses, solos,
quartettes, band and the 42d Psalm a
rich entertainment is in store for those
who are so fortunate as to be present at
the closing concert on Friday night
Those coming from the north and south
will be able to take the midnight trains
and return home after the concert.

Tuesday and Wednesday of last week,
the particulars Of which as given by an

A man by the name Of Stiles, who resides
In Stratton, came to the village Oh me

remained five days, taking Gaze Of things
in the absence of Mr.. b. As there was

They ordered Stiles 10 leave, hut - ne
rather hesitated he was takeu cut and
ordered to depart for his hone, which
he promised to do Instead, however,
of going home he took a circuitOIs route
and returned to Braybrook's where he
was seen next morning. Whereupon =
company Of men and boys assembled
and after procuring suitable pole
Stiles was placed upon it aud held there
while the procession marched down the

washington News.

The ways and means committee are
hard at work upon the tariff bill, and are
generally raising the rates.
An impression prevails that the
fortleth Congress will remain In session
two or three months, which indicates
work ahead.
The detectives of the treasury de-
partment have discovered new coun-
terfeit on the ten dollar notes Of the
Flour City National Bank Of Rochester,
NY.
Its deemed not improbable that
separate bills applicable to the several
States, as in the case of Louisiana, will
take the place Of any general reconstruc-
tion bill. 1t is known that bills for the
States separately are in the course Of
preparation by competent hands,
-Rumors are rife ofimportant cabinet
changes, and it is said that Seward,
Stanton and Randall will resign, and
for their successors men will be nomin-
ated who are more popular. The rumor
certainly is Il mistake. So far as MIR.
Stanton is concerned, the President de-
clared recently that he should insist
upon his remaining to the end of the
Presidential term.
There was an unusually large at.
tendance of members in the House to
hear Mr.. Morrill's able speech on taxa
ton, which inaugurated the considera-
ton of the tax bill. The committee of
ways and means will not probably re-
port an amendatory tariff bill for a week
to come. They have raised the duty on
jute, hemp, fax, wool and iron above the
rates in the Senate's substitute, and so
of other articles. The Presidents friends
assert positively that he will not veto the
tax, tariff, or finance bills.
TO facilitate the conversion Of 7-30
bonds, due in August 1867, the Secretary
of the Treasury has decided to pay the
express charges until March 81 on the
bonds transmitted to Washington for
conversion, and also the express charges
on bonds sent in return. Holders OF
7-30 bonds falling due in August, and
forwarding the same before March 81,
can feel certain of getting prompt return
of bonds, while, if conversion is delayed
until nearer August, the pressure will be
so great as to prevent prompt return.

HUBBARDToN.-The singing class I'M
der the direction of Prof. D. B. Worley,
gave their first concert on Wednesday
evening last, and it proved:a success in
every respect. The class was organized
about January 1st, 1866, and with two
or three exceptions, were all beginners,
and at the close of the school they could
render only few pieces acceptably,
This winter they came together with the
determination to excel, which they have
done, as their concert fully proved. The
programme consisted of songs, solos,
Duets, quartetts and choruses. Time
and space will not allow of a mention o:
all the pieces performed, and it would be
unjust to specify where all was excel
lent. The music was Of a high order
and rendered with an evenness and pur-
ity Of tone that would compare favor
ably with advanced singers, showing
their appreciation of delicate passages,
all showing that Prof. Worley is a
teacher of rare ability, and, as shown on
this occasion, director second to none.

Editor Rutland Herald Surprising you
might wish to have little account Of
the meeting at Chester, on the 18th inst,
and not knowing that yon had any re-
porter there, l send you a short account
which you will use at your discretion.
The meeting was called to order at
about o'clock P. NJ, in the hall Of the
Ingraham House by the President, Gen.
Davis, of Cavendish. In the absence of
the former Secretary, J. W. Pierce ESQ,
of Springfield Col, Seaver of Cavendish
was chosen, and read the proceedings of
the last meeting.
Mai. Rounds of Chester, in behalf Of a
committee appointed at the former
meeting, read report containing the
population, valuation and the distance of
each of the towns in the proposed new
county from Chester and from Wood
stock. BY subsequent vote of the
meeting, it was ordered that the COM
mittee prepare pamphlets embodying
the facts contained in the report in sea-
son Tor the March meetings of the towns
interested. We will barely state at
present that the town of Weston which
is about forty miles from Woodstock, is
about ten miles from Chester, and the
average distance of the several towns
would be only nine miles from the pro-
posed shire town. 1t was thought that
| all necessary and suitable buildings
could be built for $25, 900, of which Ches-
! ter might be expected to furnish $40 600,
besides her proportion on the grand list,
Mr.. Henry and others went into certain
calculations going to show that the
time and money spent in attending court
at Woodstock amounted to more in two
or three years than would be expended
by each citizen ID erecting the new
buildings in Cavendish or Chester. Mr.
Henry finally moved an amendment tc
the report TO the effect that the commit
tee prepare careful estimate of the prob
able cost of the necessary buildings
which was adopted, and as thus amended
the report was adopted
Mr.. Henry of Chester, Judge Wilder o
Weston, Judge Arnold Of Londonderry
Mr.. Daniels of Grafton, Mr.. Chapman o
Proctorsville, Mr.. Walker of Ludlow
and others addressed the meeting. Mos
Of the speakers were in favor of new
county; whatever difference of opinion
there was appeared to be one of time.
Mr.. Henry said that he had no doub
that when the people saw the matter il
its true light, they would all be in favo
of the proposed change. He felt conf
dent also that other changes would b
made in the different counties of tn
state. It would not answer 10 hurr
this thing but see to it that the peopl
had all the facts.
The committee were instructed to ca
| future meeting at such time aud plac
= as they might see IT. and the conventio
adjourned sine die. Mr..

In HASTE FoR THE FUNBRAL.-The Gin
cinnati Enquirer says:
"On Thursday last msu in apparent
haste entered one Of the express offices
on Fourth street, and inquired of the
agent how long it would take to express
a corpse to Bennington, Vt. Two days
and half or three days. Gould you
positively assure me that it could be
done by Sunday next, as it is desirable
that the funeral should take place on

Sketches Of Cssti~ton Musical Coa-
yentious.

Editors Ratlasa Herald '-Castleten has
been somewhat famous for its musical
taste and conventions. The ntth con-
vention for the promotion of music Is
now in successful progress under the
direction OF one OF New highlands most
skillful musical conductors.
The first convention was held here In
the summer of lS48 under the direction
of Messrs. W. G, Benton and Rust who
We're then the principal teachers OF vocal
music in this vicinity, or county. No
expenses then attended cOnvention,now
it requires from five hundred to thou
sand dollars. At that period they were
home institutions but in this day they
are composed, in large degree, of lead
ing musical talent from the cities. They
were OF two days duration and no con-
certs, now they continue four days and
two grand concerts. The convention
the first day was devoted to Choruses,
the second, each choir sang by them
selves directed by their respective leaders.
The Rev. Z. W. Hooker, D. D., of Ben
nington delivered an able address on
music.
The second convention was held in the
Spring of 1850, and was principally in
stigated and carried forward by Mr.. D..
B. Worley, and at that day was no light
task. The lamented, accomplished
teacher and composer, |. B. Woodbury. of
New York was the conductor. The
thrilling eject with which his sang, "The
Gamblers Wife" and other songs Of like
character, of his own composition, are
well remembered. The expenses were
defrayed by subscription from the citi-
zens, contributions at the convention,
and sale of Woodbury's book entitled
"The Dulcimer.. and "Chorus Glee
B oOk" then just published.
The third convention took place in
July, 1852, under the leadership Of that
eminent musician and author VIM. B.
Bradbury of New York. Mr. John
Hawkins, q leading teacher of music,
was instrumental in calling the conven-
ton. The proceeds amounted to about
SIS, which was given to Mr.. Bradbury
for two days and evenings with class
of about one hundred,
The fourth convention was held under
the auspicies of the Union Musical AS
ISOLATION in June, 1862, continuing three
days, closing with a concert, under the
direction Of J. f. Perkins of New York
assisted by Mrs. Perkins and Miss Ster-
ling, and was q complete success.
On Friday evening last, Moses Cheney
ESQ, delivered his instructive and hu
morous lecture on music, at the Towr
Hall before an audience Of one hundred
who were well pleased. At the concIu
sion of the address, at the request o
Chester Spencer, Esq, Mr.. Cheney sans
the "Old Arm Chair" which was received
