y
Cheney q Clapp are removing their
goods to their new rooms in Crosby block,
and will be in readiness for customers the
first of next week.
The musical festival, under tho charge
of Prof. l.. o. Emerson of Boston, opened
on Tuesday evening with good attendance
from this and adjoining towns.
Frank Pardis, French wood-chopper,
who stole couple of watches from his fell
low-workmen, at Rockingham, not long
since, was arrested here last Saturday and
taken to Newiane Jail in default of bonds.
The watches had been disposed of to par
ties in this vicinity.
The combination concert given on
Wednesday evening, by Springfield ar
lists, was of a first-class order but unfort-
uuately events onspired to render the at
tendance anything but complimentary. The
audience, however, the ugh small, did not
lack in appreciation as testified by frequent
cncorcs
We understand that DR.. C. S. Clark is
intending TO open dental Office, over the
bank, i'm Crosby's block, about the middle
of next week. DR.. Clark will be remem-
bered by many as q student Of DIR. o. II.
Post, and comes very highly rocommoRdSd
from Woodstock, where he has for solno>
time been practising.
The unpleasant state of the weather last
Sunday evening did not prevent fair at
tendance at the temperance meeting, which
was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Mat
teson, followed by remarks from Rev. n.
Mighll, L. II. Davenport, +. Tyler, II.
Grogan, and some others. Several addi-
tional names were obtained for the pledge.
The ladies will be interested to learn
that Mrs. l.. A. Alexander late of Keene,
n. H., has taken the rooms over Wilkins's
store, lately occupied by DR.. Dearborn
where, in a few days, she will be prepared
| to do hair work of all kinds. Mrs. Alex
andcr is well known as an artist in her pro-
fession, and we doubt not will receive from
the ladies of this vicinity generous pat
ronage.
We are indebted TO our young friend,
Eben +. Wells, member of Cornell Uni
versity, for the register of that institution
for 1901 which gives such full and par
ticular information respecting it as one de-
| sires to have who is interested in its pros
perity, and which shows the University to
be in prosperous condition. There are
nine students at the University from Yer
mont, four of whom are from Brattleboro.
The sugar season has got along so much
earlier than usual this year, that many far
mers were unprepared, and lost the first
flow of sap; and as the frost is already
nearly out of the ground, the amount OF
sugar made cannot be large. Farmers are
receiving from Is to Is cents per pound.
Ten thousand eight hundred pounds were
received at the express Office in this village
on Wednesday last, making with that re-
ccived during the three days previous a
total of l5t tons forwarded to the city mar
kets.
The high school exhibition on Friday
evening of last week, drew out one of the
largest audiences that has assembled in the
town hall this winter,-probably not less
than 500 persons being present. The excr-
cises were of such high order throughout
that no opportunity was offered for criti-
cism,-the apparent fault of indistinct ara
ticulation in some instances being, we pre-
OF the rotations, essays, declamations
etc., it would be useless to particularize
but if ever scholars exhibited in higher
degree that perfection in discipline and in
telligent comprehension of the objects OF
their study which is evidence of thorough
and faithful tutorship, we have failed to
witness it. The comedy of "rhe Green
Mountain Boy" which formed prominent
feature of the entertainment, was brought
out in surprisingly good shape, and elected
great applause; indeed, Joseph Chandler
as Tomkins, and w. A. Pellet as Jededal
Homebred, it would have been difficult tc
excel. "To Oblige Benson" comedy in
one act, with l.. n. Lawrence as Benson
Il. A, Sherwin as Southdown, A. Il. Day a,
Meredith, Miss Lucia Brooks as Mrs Ben
son, and Miss Hattie Niles as Mrs South.
down, was also received with applause
richly merited. The programme occupied
four hours in the performance, and was il
part repeated on the following evening.

THE sCoTT-sIDDoNs READINGS IN BRAT
TLEBoRo.
No event for a long time has interested
everyone in town so much as the announce
ment that we were to have this beautiful
and distinguished artist come among us
Her Readings are so near perfection and 81
enjoyable in every way that all classes turn
out in crowds TO greet her wherever she ha
appeared in New England. Let Brattle
boro show that Mrs. Siddons has the cor
dial greeting and iull honor she deserves

tribution of the most desirable seats.
THE CHURCHES.
Center church, March II, 1871, A. NJ.
Rev. n. Mighill, pastor. Text, Heb. 10;
The truths of the Gospel were lilkened f
the calcium light, from their illuminatin!
power. These truths are fixed yet the.
may be compared to a revolving light, nov
seen, and anon hid from view, because o
the inattenion of men to them.
