Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1870-08-25

the Keene Sentinel which we think will
be OF interest TO singers: "Mr. @. M. wy
man is without doubt the most popular
conductor of musical conventions in the
country at the present time. He already
has engaged to conduct twenty seven con-
ventions in twelve different States during
the coming season. He had five appllca-
lions to hold conventions during the week
Immediately following our Keene conven-
ton. That his success is the result of
genuine talent aided by untiring applica-
ton none who know the gentleman will
doubt" We are further informed that
so great was the desire to obtain his SER
vices for that week-next week-that he
received an offer of two hundred dollars.
We congratulate ourselves on having
been the lucky winner of his presence for
that time. Prof. Wyman comes from
Keene to this place
The Altimont Cornet Band has been
giving some very pleasant street concerts
of late The band plays well, we think it
was never in better training than at the
present time. We hope to see it receive
sufficient patronage to warrant it in main
tanning its proper proficiency of drill.
CAvENDIsH.-Fen, field and forest all
show the need of rain, and should the
parohed earth remain much longer with
out the "copious shower" very serious
CONSEQUENCES will result therefrom, espe-
cially to the potato crop, and even to the
fruit orchards. Cornfelds have ripened
in many places prematurely, and there is
danger from combustible matter in the
forests that some careless fire may be
kindled, and much property be destroyed.
-Messrs. johnson & Gay having closed
their store at North Chester, both part
ners are now devoting their whole time
and talents to the business here. A store
full of goods, new and nice, with clean
shelves and fixings, with civil and accom-
modating proprieters and clerks to wait
on customers, with moderate and reasona'
BILE prices-al tend to bring custom, and
add materially to the business prosperity
of the place.
-Messrs. Robbins & White, at theil
old stand, where they have been in trade
SO long that the memory of the present
generation cannot tell the day of theiI
beginning, continue to entice the trading
public by display of very large assort
ment of goods of all kinds and assert
ments The long and short of the con
Germ together shows that one can fine
their fancy suited at this old brick stor
in all things, from a barrel of flour or
hog shead Of meal or molasses down to
potion of jalap or a paper of pins-frOn
Goldfish and crackers TO the greatest varie
ty of stoves and iron ware, from coats 0
many colors worn by gents to the mos
delicately trimmed article Of ladies wear
This firm was never known to put them
selves in the papers, or seldom adverti-
their business except oy their business
but 10 their trade there seems no end
By their fruits are they known, and every
where appreciated.
Two other stores are in full tide @
= prosperity here. \. B. Pierce manage
the one, and II S. Pierce directs tn
other, each in his turn inviting the read
ors of the HERALD not to pass them by
but 10 call and of them buy at their ow
prices such goods as may be needed an

grounds and tcrraced walks and drives i
a neat and becoming manner; and wher

thrift, industry and cultivated taste
There grounds are at the head Of the fall
which were never more frequented b
picnic parties and joyous visitors than a
this time.
