The report that VIM, J. Fuller of
Mddlebury had been displaced by Sidney
NJ. Southland of Vergennes, as Route
Agent on the mail line between Boston
and Burlington proves to be true. The
early reports were conflicting and we wal
ted for developments before making the
announcement. The government has lost
an efficient and faithful officer, and the
public an honest and attentive servant, in
Mr.. Fuller, though we presume the "Cap-
tain will aIsoprove to be well fitted for the
position. If q change was to have
been made, it was proper that military SER
vice and the honorable scar" should be
taken into consideration

the subject of temperance, Friday evening,

and occasionally excited the emotions of
the audience to a high pitch; but on the
whole did not rise to the dignity demand
ed 10y the subject. He is an earnest adj
vocate Of the cause, however, and his Illus
trations drawn from his own experience,
must make an impression upon his hearers
which will prove useful. Success to him
in his efforts to save others from the ter
rible ruin from which he barely escaped.

Poppy raising and opium manulac.
ture is quite likely TO become an important
branch of industry in this county Last

The CoNCERr-The audience was
not large, at the Court House. last Thurs
day Evening, to greet "IIall's Boston
Concert" organization, but il made up in
enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers.
The "bright particular star" of this con,
stellation, of course, was the great lady
Niolinist, Camilla Urso, who made her
violin talk as we never heard one talk before.
There was grace in every movement, sweet
ness in every tone, fascination and magical
power in every touch. The applause that
followed seemed harsh and unwelcomC
while those bewitching notes were ringing
IN our ears. Miss Graziella Ridgway is .
promising young songstress, in her "teens'
who has sweet voice and great deal o
power; though, we think, il is a perverted
taste which calls for the 'trill'' in every
note. Mr.. Rhololph Halls Magic Echo
