Messrs. Wait, Evarts and Cushing, be-
fore the Alabama arbitration tribunal, is

because they were not subsequently

entirely beautiful, the hair should be
abundant and lustrous. This is absolute

The most regular features, the most bril-

harsh. On the contrary the plainest face,

holder with a sense of actual beauty. That

Considerable powder was burnt during
the moving of the procession, in the az
ternoon and evening.
The alarm of fire in the evening, soon
after the starting of the procession,
was caused by the discovery that the old
Village Hall was on fire. The fire was
the work of an incendiary, as it was
found to be on fire in two places in the
upper part, and if some poor, miserable,
deluded Greeleyite thought he would,
by this means, break up the process
sion, he failed in his point, for the pro-
cession did not even falter. The build
ing was badly burned, but it was not
occupied and is of little value.
After the torchlight procession had
broken up, the Queen City Band, accom-
panied by delegation of the Brandon
club. sercnaded The HERALD office, which
was responded to by Henry Clark,
thanking them for the compliment,
after which the band and the assembled
people, gave three cheers for THE HER
AID, Mr.. Clark, its editors, and the pub
fisher.
Immediately after the serenade of the
Queen City Band, the Rutland Band
also serenaded The HERALD office,
which was responded to by Mr.. Clark,

The Brandon Fresnet.

We publish, in another place, an ac-
count Of the surprising freshet at Forest
Dale. in the town of Brandon, which
has caused great damage, and almost
obliterated the homes and pleasant sur
roundings Of many Of the citizens of
that pleasant little village and sadder
still has resulted in the death Of an in
tercsting son Of Mr.. NJ. T. Allen.
The suddenness and destructive forge
OF this freshet has not, we think, bad a
parallel in Vermont since the terrible
flood in New Haven, near the residence
of Mr. Nash, in 1880, when the New
Haven river, rising suddenly, swept
away several dwellings and twcnty-one
persons, of whom but seven escaped
alive. In this unlocked for calamity the
citizens of Forest Dale will have the
earnest sympathy Of our citizens, which
we hope viii be manifested in some pro-
per and substantial manner.

something good, and are never disap-
pointed. ,Joslin Hall was well filled,
and every one went away feeling that it
was good for them to be there. Among
the most attractive pieces, | notice, the
Sword of Bunker Hill," performed by
Mr. w. w. Davis, with thrilling effect.
Mr. Davis has made vocalization study
for number of years, and in his rendi-
ton of this piece, he establishes fame
for himself.
T. p. Ryder favored us with some of
his own composition, which was truly
beautiful-magnifce His name and
fame as a pianist, is established where
ever he has appeared Mr.. G. @. Day,
of Rutland, favored us with some choice
gems of song, especially, the ''Rose
good voice, and was heartily encored.
The Duet by Messrs. Day and Cobb, en-
titled ''The Fishers" was also encored.
Mrs. Kinsman, Cheney and Hathaway,
of Rutland, also deserve much praise
for the valuable assistance rendered, and
the artistic manner in which they rem
dered their different parts. Miss Camp
bell sang finely and her rendition of the
''Maids of Athens" composed by t. Z.
Ryder, was the piece Of the evening.
Remember Now thy Creator in the
Days of thy Youth" sang by Messrs.
Davis, Josiin, Ryder and Perkins, was
very fine, and reflected much credit on
the performers. The choruscs were ex-
cellent, and displayed much study and
practice. Upon the whole, the school
and the concerts were a success, and
Poultney people feel proud to think the
school has met with such success, and
will wish it well, wherever it may be
located. H.
