The following exhibit of statistics, of
School District No. 4, in Middlebury was

Miss Nina Gregory, who was an.
nounced to i've one of her popular read
ings at School House Hall on the 9th in
slant, will not be here on the 9th but on
the evening of Thursday the 10Th in
slant. The announcement made last
week was a mistake. In addition to the
aattering notices which we clipped from
our exchanges and published last week
we find many others of similar tone in
dicating great enthusiasm wherever she
has been. 1t will undoubtedly be rare
treat and our citizens will appreciate it
and give her full house.
We clip the following from the
Montpelier Waterman We think the
warmest admirers Of this young lady must
have been more than satisfied with the
overlooking house which attended her
readings last Wednesday evening and the
audience in turn gave unmistakable proof
Of their appreciation as she went through
the attractive programme. Where all
were so well rendered, it is hard to
particularize-for, las in gallery of chsice
paintings, the last always seemed the best
but to us, the Creeds Of the Bells
seemed best to develope her deep, rich
and we'll moduated voice Indeed sc
fine was the rendering, that portion Of
the audience seemed determined, after she
had exhausted both her programme and
herself, to call her out to recite "The Bells
without the "creeds."
MIR. j. l.. Buttolph has sold his farm
on Munger Street, in the East part O
this town, to Orrin Phelps of New Yorl
state, for $4,000. Possession was giver
on Wednesday. Mr.. Buttolph has pur
chased Mr.. Milton Brooks interest il
the hardware store of Twitchell & Brook,
on Merchants Row, and taken up his re-
sidence in this village. The hardware
business under the late firm has beer
reasonably good from the commencement
and constantly increasing; and we hav,
no doubt the prosperity of the new firm
will begin where the old one left it, ant
make equal progress. Mr. Buttolph wa
successful farmer, accommodating hand
some property, and he will put the sam,
tact and energy into the new business
