A PLEAsA>r AfPAiR-About sixty
friends, from Middebury and Weybridge
visited the residence of Jehial Wrigh,
Esq. at PaperInill village last Friday
evening, and surprised the occupants who
surrendered at discretion. A pleasant
visit ensued, interspersed with music al
the piano, and the "surprisists" who
had not forgotten the important item OF
human necessities, opened their baskets
and the company devoted a season to the
study Of the gustatory sciences. Judging
from the dozen or more specimens Of rich
deicacies which fell to our portion We
conclude that the opportunity for such
studies was an extraordinary one and pro
ba bly, well improved
We understand there is paper il
circulation for the purpose of raising
money 10 purchase INSTRUMENTS LOT
Band in Middlebury, and it is hoped al
those interested in having good Ban'
here, will stand ready to subscribe liber
ally and cheerfully towards purchasing
said instruments, when called upon w
have been informed that twelve youn
men, several Of whom have had eXperienc
in playing are ready to take up the in
struments as soon as they are purchased
and commence their practice, and We d
not see why we may not have as good
band if not better than there is in tn
state Let all lovers of music VIII
feel an interest in seeing the movemer
succeed, put their shoulders to the vince
and help these young men to purchas
the instruments, and next summer we sha
be well rewarded by music in our Park /
they propose.
