&C. L. RUssELL's GIFT CONCERT
Russell is pushing his gift enterprise with
great energy and W. should judge with a
pretty fair degree of success. He does
not wish people to think his drawing is a
tin whistle affair, but an honest thing
he will do Just as the bills and circulars
oblige him to do. He gives unexcep-
tionable reference, and invites searching
investigation to prove the perfect reliabili-
ty Of the whole matter. We see no rea-
son to question his integrity, and have no
doubt the public will find him honest and
above board, from first to last in this gift
nterprise.-Termonter
j. W. Martin and A. s. Glow, agents
at Middlebury.
LE1cEsTER.-Thc following was crowd
ed out last week Agreeable to Notice
the friends of Rev. VI. Ludlum assembled
at the Town Hall on the evening of the
22d inst. An excellent supper including
oysters, was prepared by the good ladies
Of Leicester in a style indicating their
usual generosity and taste. A goodly
number were present, the younger por.
ton of our people being more largely
represented. Only for the great amount
of sickness in town at the present time
the attendance would have been much
larger. Considering the lateness of the
season however, and the general state of
health. the donation can hardly be called
other than IA success, though the net pro-
ceeds realized some fifty dollars, must
not DO considered the measure of esteem
in which the worthy brother is held by
the community at large. While faithful
to the general principles Of his Sect, his
humanity is deep and broad enough to
to recognize the good in others wherever
found. That he may be blessed and cher
ished as he walks fcebly down the wes-
tern slope Of life and nears the "unsecn
city," is the sincere paryer of his numer-
Gus friends. A. Il. :.
