/ Butterflies IN Observation-Disclosures
ing the severe cold weather of the past few
weeks, Master Herbert Welch Of Berlin
! found flying about the room, and captured
on the Both ult., large yellow butterfly.
The butterfly was exhibited on our streets
yesterday, and was still quite lively. Either
Master Herberts room must be exceedingly
summer-like, or that butterfly made mis-
take in the weather reckonings.
! East CALAIS Thursday evening of last
week. Miss Angie NJ. Lamb, of Granville,
young lady who is earning an enviable repu-
tation as a public reader, and as a teacher of
elocution, favored the people of this vicinity
with an exhibition Of good readiHg. She
showed much discrimination in the choice Of
her selections, aiming evidently to secure
that variety necessary to spice such an enter
tainment. While some Of her pieces were
Of character to amuse, others were express
siye Of pathos which touched a responsive
cord in the hearts of all nor were those
sentiments wanting which breathe an ms pi-
ration into the soul and turn the thoughts
to all that il noble and true.
pom the whole the entertainment was
chastc and elegant, and afforded a rich treat
to those whose good fortune it was to be
present.
Surely Miss Lamb well deserves the warm
Communications which she has elected else
where, and cannot fail to find many admirers
among intelligent critics Of the community
at large.
