OLD Folks CONCERT.-The people
Of Craftsbury entertained themselve
on the oath September, with voca
concert by volunteer choir led by
d. r. Collins and assisted by amateur
who represented choirS Of forty years
ago. In building the new academy {
debt Of few hundred dollars was in
Cured, and concert was devised a
pleasurable means OF paying par
Of it, which might be participated il
by all the inhabitants Of the town ant
other friends and patrons Of the acad
envy. 1t was the aim of the choir t.
sing such tunes as were In common
use in the churches of New Englan,
in the early part of the present cen
fury, and to exhibit the costumes O
different periods back to the time OIL
the revolution. Interspersed with tn
sacred music were few suitable SCI
ular pieces with instrumental accom-
paniment. 1t was a special pleasur
to elderly persons to hear such tune
as Ocean, Turner" Mortality,
Coronation" and others perlorme
in the olden style, and without buI
lesque; and of the secular piece s
Sweet Vale of Avoca" was sweet
and admirably sung by Mrs. DR.. Du
tin. The preparatory rehearsals wer
few and brief, and the performance Q
the evening was entirely satisfactor
to an audience capable Of Judging o
its merits. The house was we'll file
and but for the rain and two genert
gatherings III adjoining towns, woul
have been crowded. The sum recei
ed was forty six dollars.
There is lately unmeasured int
estin the literary exercises of Star
Hope Lodge. 1t is heartily hope
that the young people will impro'
this excellent opportunity of impro
ing their one talent.
