to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
their organization, which occurs the
twelfth of July-the present year.
HOTEL CHANGE.-John Jenness of
Glover has sold his hotel to Leonard
Foster of this town, who takes pos.
session the first of May. John has
been rather popular landlord, is
clever fellow, and we shall be sorry to
have him leave. But we presume Mr..
Foster will make his place good; we
hear him well spoken of.
WELL SoLD.-Wm. Pitcher of AL
bany last week sold to a gentleman
in Brattleboro, pair of horses be-
longing to the Nutters in this town.
for the nice little sum of $1,000, which
is about 5000 more than the owners
ever asked for them; but Pitcher can
get as big a price for anything that
looks like horse, as any man we
know of. But it was a splendid span.
JAMES WHITNEY.-The Worcester
Mass Evening Gazette speaks thus
ly of James Whitney, whose reputa-
ton as singer is becoming national.
We suppose he is the best tenor in
the country. But, Jim, chow came
your eye out ?"
"This gentleman, who is to assume
the role of david" in the great dra-
matte composition by Beethoven, " En-
gedi," or David in the Wilderness"
to be performed in this city on Fast
Day evening, undoubtedly stands at
the head of our New England tenors.
His beautiful voice and excellent me-
thod were much applauded upon his
effective rendering of the "role" of
"Judas Maccabeus" in this city last
October, before the Worcester County
Musical Convention. Not every one
who listened to his pleasing and bril-
liant rendering of this extremely diff
cult role were aware of the amount
of positive physical courage, or great
heartedness," so to speak, necessary
to carry him through the labors of
that evening. He had received some
weeks previous serious injury to an
eye, and on the occasion to which we
refer-which was his last appearance
but one in public-every movement
occasioned exquisite agony. Since
then, Mr.. Whitney has refrained from
active service; his eye has been re-
covered, though without the sight; he
has also recovered his health, and now
comes again before our citizens who.
we doubt not, will receive him with
sincere sympathy and hearty well
come"
We are happy to hear of friend
Whitney's success.

ment of DR.. Miles and see what he
