with the idea that great Improvement is going

THE BIG SHOW CoMING.-It will be
seen by the pictorial posters and an
nouncment sheets that G. f. Bailey & Co.'S
Great Quadrille Combination is to be at
Rutland on Tuesday, May 23d. The
Providence Press of May I'd, says:
"The parade this morning by G. F
Bailey & Co.'s Great Quadrille Combina
ton fully realized the expectations of the
immense concourse of people that as
sembled to witness it, and was, in every
respect, a grand and imposing pageant
The exhibition is evidently one of gigan.
tic proportions, from its display in the
streets, and from the wilderness of can.
vas which it has erected on the Calendar
Lot. 1t occupies far more space than any
organization which has visited Proyi-
dence, and will accommodate enough
people to make very respectable army.
The plan of giving the exhibitions under
separate canvases is an excellent one.
Thus those who do not care to witness
the exercises of the equestrians and
athletes can spend the entire hours al
loted to the exhibitions in the Geological
and Pathological department. Or they
can visit either or both shows at their
option.

the numbers are necessarily much limited

fatiguing oratorios. Sunday night the
"Messiah" will be sung. Those who are

CLERICAL ANECDoTE.-There are
many stories told of the late John Smith,
an eccentric Methodist minister known as
"lame John" to the conference to which
he belonged in southern Vermont, which
was blessed with trio of reverends re-
ioicing in the same euphonious name. A
former parishioner of his in Windham
county writes: At one time the interest
in the Thursday evening prayer meeting
died out almost entirely, and the few that
came in did SO very late. One evening
Mr.. Smith was, as usual, at the vestry at
the appointed hour, and after waiting for
some one to join him for long time in
vain, went out and locked the door. Go
ing down the street he met Deacon Blank
coming slowly toward The church. The
usual salutations were exchanged, and
the deacon said, "Have you forgotten it
is the night Of our prayer meeting I" "Oh
no." said Mr.. Smith, lit is just out; We
had most an excellent meeting" cab,
indeed did you ?" exclaimed the deacon.
II am very glad. trust there may be a
new interest felt; the meetings have
seemed very cold of late. Who was
there 2' "God and his unworthy servant,
John Smith," replied the divine, impress
sively. Perhaps it is unnecessary to add
that that was the last Thursday evening
meeting that God and John Smith ever
held entirely by themselves in that place.

KILLED HIS MOTHER Nenr Newton
Ill, April 80, young man named Lafay-
cite Shepherd. killed his mother and sis
ter in a most brutal manner. The olo
woman and the girl went out to the stable
in the morning, to milk the cows, when
they were set upon by the son with an
axe, and so horribly mangled that the
mother died in few minutes, and the
girl after lingering few hours. Shepherd
Immediately fed from the neigh borhood,
but was pursued and caught on Saturday
evening at Olney, where he was hiding
He is said to be insane. His brothers
and sisters attempted to screen the act of
the brother, and gave false account of
the manner in which the injuries to their
mother and sister were inflicted, and as
to the whereabouts of Lafayette. The
whole family were promptly arrested and
taken to Marshall, Lafayette charged with
murder, and the other members of the
family as accessories to the fact. Threats
of lynch law are made.

SUDDEN DEATH ON THE CARs.-In
our telegraphic column on Tuesday morn
ing, an announcement was made of the
death of Miss Ida Seaver on the cars at
Essex Junction. We learn from the Free
Press the following particulars of the
case; Miss Ida Seaver, an estimable
young lady of 16 years, daughter of Mr..
James B. Seaver, of Hinesburgh, had, as
we learn, been visiting in Malone with
her uncle, Mr.. J. K. Seaver, editor of the
Malone Palladium. She had been in
decline, but was able to walk out, and,
her friends and physician considering her
strong enough to take the journey, she
started yesterday, accompanied by her
uncle, for her home in Hinesburgh. At
St. Adams she tainted, but revived under
proper restoratives. AT Essex Junction,
while being carried from one car to the
other, she tainted again, and soon after
being placed in her seat on the Burling-
ton train, it was found that the life had
departed. The remains were carried to
the Van Ness House, and were removed to
Hinesburgh on Tuesday.

CAsTLETON.-A most Interesting, in
structiug and useful lecture was given by
Secretary French of the Board of Educa-
ton at the Liberal Christian Church last
Tuesday evening on Natural History, or
that part of it pertaining to the insect
world. He said at the beginning that he
did not expect that the simple appoint
ment of lecture on this subject would
interest or attract large audience. He
also stated tn At as much depended on the
audience as upon the speaker, as to max
ing a lecture interesting and profitable.
On this occasion the lecturer and his
hearers were alike deeply interested in the
two hours discussion Of the theme, which
to most of US seemed far to short time to
be devoted to subject that might seem
small to many, but in truth is of import
ance to every housekeeper, gardener, far
mer and in fact every man, woman and
child, and the learned lecturer m ade it
appear SO too, pretty clearly. A chart
was suspended in the rear of the speaker,
representing forty or fifty varieties of in
scots. The lecture was confined to these
representations only, portraying the char
acteristios of portion of them quite full
~, after speaking at length on these he
concluded on the insect superstitions that
ever have existed and are still prevalent
in the world. This portion of the lecture
fr,,1y onI hio
manner and word made these supersti-
tions appear supremacy ridiculous. On
the whole, great fund of information was
impaired to his one hundred hearers in
those two hours. We motion and SO do
others, that Secretary French be invited
to deliver another lecture on the insect
world, believing that the house would
not contain all that would go to hear him.
The Peak Family of Bell Ringers
amused a small company of men, women
and children at the Town Hall last Thurs
day night, with mirth an music of songs,
harp, violin, piano, bells, xylophone, and
the concertina. The last two named in
struments are new and novel in the an.
malls of music with us, and the player on
these and the violin performed some won
derful feats of music. We have seen six
hundred packed into this hall to witness
this entertainment-this time there was
not two hundred all told.
Next Friday evening the pupils of
the Normal School offer an exhibition of
music, reading, recitations, dialogues and
essays, at the seminary chapel. The class
will be assisted by Rev. W. T. Ross. We
venture to say it will be superior enter
tainment.
Saturday night an old folks Welch
concert comes off at the Town Hall.
They will appear in the Welsh costume.
The choir music will be under the direc-
tion Of William Owens, and the Cambrian
Band will also furnish music under the
leadership Of John J. jones. The concert
is for the purpose of raising funds for the
benefit of the new Welsh church recently
built at Blissville, near the Eagle slate
quarry.

STATEMENT OLE CASE.

1t was a motion for preliminary Injunction,
based upon bill in Chancery brought by Messrs
Anterior T. and George Frank Brown, of Bos-
ton, Mass Us. Nathaniel X Brown, of Burling-
ton, asking for an injunction against the defeni-

Messrs. B. F. Rice, OF New York, aud Daniel

counsel for the orators. Henry Ballard, E. J.
