 The coming dedication of Music Hall next Monday and Tuesday evenings, is the principal topic of conversation in social circles, and the services of millners, dress makers, tailorS, boot-makers and all the tribe of artists whose business it is to beau tify or adorn the outer person, are fiercely and impertlnently called into requisition to prepare for the coming event. The hall is now receiving its finishing touches of dec oration and completement. though it is so nearly finished that a good idea of the whole can be obtained by visit. The stage is 9 feet deep with pitching floor, fine design and workmanship. The ceiling is finished Tn panels twelve inches deep and most elegantly frescoed. The walls are plain but slightly tinted SD they relieve the eye from glaring white, but still do not absorb the light. Taking the decorations all in all the effect is most beautiful and really superior to most city theatres. That the opening entertainment will be of the best quality and highest order is perfectly assured from the fact that Miss Kellogg will be present as the star of both evenings, alone making concert that this part of the state never have had the pleasure of listen ing to, the citizens of this village are fully awake, as evidenced by the numbers who stayed on the steps of the office during the whole night proceeding the commencement of the sale of tickets. showing an enthusi- asm never dreamed of in the place before. ......T The District Court was in session dur ing the whole of last week and occupied with the trial of cases in which Judge Hitchcock has been counsel, Judge Wiley from New London holding court.

A N
 MIR. EDITOR: A concert was given here Thursday evening, May sth, by Miss Ada Palmer, who, as have been informed is a resident of your town. have seen several articles in your paper about this celebrated singer, but never before had the pleasure of listening to her. The people here think it quite musical treat Miss Palmer was assisted by little lady, Eva Shaw, who if I am judge of music is unequalled by any child of her age, also by another little yo- calist, Miss Netlie Eldridge, whose remarka- ble voice won for her much praise and dls- tinction. In addition to this class of iu- veniles Miss Palmer was assisted by Profs. Shaw and Camp, in the rendering of vari- ous glees, choruses, duets, &c. Great care must have been taken to select only the choicest and most popular music. Miss Palmer is certainly beautiful singer. Her rich sweet voice could not have been used to better effect, and her method of singing showed genuine artistic finish. Her play ing was good. and she was heartily applaud ed several times. When she left the stage the audience gave vent to it's delight in tre- mendous applause. She was three times recalled, amid the shouts and waving of handkerchiefs, and an enthusiastic demon stration, when she sang alto to the last piece, which sue gracefully acknowledged. It was certainly great triumph, and old musicians declared it to be marvellous. The gentlemen sang equally as well. and we earnestly hope the troupe will favor us with another visit at no distant day. Everybody speaks we'll of tlIe entertainment, ,and think that Salisbury can boast of the best singers of any other town in Connecticut or New York. A CITIZEN OF PINE PLAINS

SCOCK or common sense aS 10 acKnOWl- edge that he had (when sober) been scared by spirits, is naturally source of some surprise, but since there are such people the whole thing is more easily understood. My motive in making this communication is no desire to injure anyone, but simply justice that honest men may be protected and rogues exposed.
 It IS well known that the place where the ghost is reported to have been seen has been offered for sale. Now, although the property is quite valuable, and really worth more than was asked for it, certain partv or parties have taken it upon themselves to endeavor by various means, misrepre sentations, &c.,, and from motives not diff cult to discover to depreciate the value Of the place as much as possible, and thus prevent sale. This plan had until lately been successful. MT. Fenn, however, sec ing that he could make bargain, agreed to purchase ane moved in. While there, re- maining only one night, he was persuaded to move out again and forfeit his word. He afRrms that he was scared out. Just here is mystery, and to one who desires ''fair play" a mystery which has very sus- picious look. If Mr. Fenn was scared out, the question is ''who scared him ?" If this could be ascertained and the ssscare' was simply part of a systematic plan, it would pay to see that the ''scarer" had a private ''scare of his own. We can we'll afford to encourage fairness and open deal ing at the expense of those who don't ap- preciate such things, and little healthy feeling in this respect would not hurt ou1 community in the least.
