BENSON. .InlX 81.

Benson, July 2d,
The childrens annual festival of roses
and concert came off on Tuesday even
ing, July Isl, as advertised, at the new
Town Hall.
The stage was beautifully trimmed
with evergreens and roses, with many
choice plants in blossom placed in front
of the stage.
A large motto-''We come again with
songs to greet you'-was prominently
displayed.
Large pyramid boquets and baskets of
flowers were tastefulIy arranged about
the stage and on the piano.
About s o'clock twenty-seven young
misses and eleven lads, from five to tif-
teen years Of age, came into the hall and
took their places without any confusion.
The girls were all dressed in white, their
dresses were trimmed with evergreen
and flowers, with resets OF roses upon
their heads. The boys wore black pants
coming to the knees, with long white
stockings and slippers, with black jacket
(nO coat) trimmed with eyergreens, with
wreaths over the shoulder, and boquet
of roses ON the lapel of the jacket. 1t
was truly happy group to look upon.
The first piece was entitled, 1--WE
come with songs to greet you,' by the
entire class Then Miss Kitty Geer, of
Ogdensburgh, n. Y, sang, "Say is she
coming, beautiful Spring ?" the class
joining in the chorus. The school then
sang Spring is here.
The several parts representing,
SCENE FIRST,
Children assembling in the Forest, for
the choice of May Queen, accompanied
with songs.
SCENE SECOND.
Night. Their departure for home !;
the Watchmans cry; serenade to Queen,
sung by Mrs. H. NJ. Holmes, sophrano,
johnnie Kellogg, alto.
SCENE THIRD
May Day.-Crowning of Queen; pres
sence of Shepherds, with crooks and re-
gala; group of Swiss girls in costume,
were carried out with credit to all en-
gagged.
Kitty Ladd, Susie Walker, Mable
| Strong, Fanny Dorsey and Emma Jones
each sung a solo during the evening.
Busy Bee was sung by four lads and
four youpgmisses. Chappie Strong and
Willie Walker sang ''The boy that never
told lie Mable Strong acted as
| Queen, the crowning of whom was very
prettlly done by Emma Jones, as she
sang an appropriate verse. She was
then presented with the wand by Mary
Gates, with the wreath by Kitty Ladd,
with basket of flowers by Louisa Car
ter, each accompanying the gift by a
verse of song appropriate to the gift ;
after which Miss Minnie Geer, of Og-
densburg, N. Y, came on the stage with
basket of flowers, presenting them
with an appropriate recitation; then
came shower of roses thrown from
all parts of the stage, falling on and
around the Queen.
Each acted the part assigned then

ming birds and flowers are used for orn-
amentation, and collored so naturally
that in appearance they are superior to
the usual artificial goods
1t is almost incredible the small amount
of glass that enters into the construction
of one of these hats, for the thread is so
fine that a great spaceis covered without
any perceptible increase in the weight.
They weigh but few ounces, or about
One-fifth of the average weight of the
present style. With the care that is
usually given by lady to a new hat,
these new articles viii outlast twenty of
them, and if dust should settle To dim
their beauty, it its readily removed by a
single spray of water. The colors are so
blended that for ordinary occasions they
present a general neutral tint, but at a
small additional expense they can be
made to flash and sparkle like diamonds,
either in the sunlight for a carriage COS
tune, or in the blaze of ball room, or
at the opera. Their cost is insignificant
and as it is understood that several well
known firms are going into the business
extensively they may soon be expected
upon our streets. 1t is probable, how
ever, they will not be readily known, as
the resemblance to the genuine is so
great

Your letter reached me, dear Herbert,
So now am going to answer,
And talk quite plainly to YOU
lis time that you learned, my dear
brother, ..
A little for others to care;
Letting reason guide you little,
And stop living IN castles of air.
[ don't want to be hard, my dear brother
But the truth must be verify told
Since the death ofOur dear, darling mother,
Our father has grown wonderfully old.
/ think he longs for you often,
And wishes Bert's strong, sturdy arm
W Ould willingly, chee-fully help him
Find wealth from the soil of the farm.
There's no Disgusting It, Herbert,
[ think you sadly mistake
When you say 1.-The life of a fam
Is of such a contemplate make.''
I'm sure no life suits yOu better,
And you know this to be a grim fact,
The professions of doctor and lawyer
Fill the country until it Is packed.
Be sensible now, darling Herbert,
Remember our family cares;
Remember your promise o mother
Remember how poor father fares
All alone with no one to help him;
Don't longer let idIenes charm,
Look away from yourself for one moment; ;
Dear brother, come home to the farm.
What good did the few months at college

1t only unsettled your prospects,
And ended in running about.
As for being II gentleman, Herbert,
That end can as well be attained
At work on the farm for your father
As in the city you named.
Don't spend any more IDLE moments,
Nor live for Yourself all alone:
But come back to the CHEEKY old tirGSide,
And enliveu on" dear tathcr'~ tone
Mother Earth will welcome you gladly,
Her soul vi ne'er do You harm;

Scene fer IA Painter.

After the copious and refreshing
showers of Tuesday, we witnessed, at
sunset, the most beautiful scenes of
cloud landscape it was ever our privi-
lege to behold. If any painter could
have transferred them to canvass, he
would have immortalized himself.
The three aspects of mountain glory,
that entranced US with theirvaried beau
ty, were, one where the dark clouds had
parted, and hung with light fringes on
their edges, like the most exquisite lace
curtains over the top and down the sides
of the mountains, through which could
be seen the dark green forests, and the
lighter green of the land slopes. Fresh
ened by the rain, they seemed to stand
out distinct through the gauzy mist that
partly enveloped them, and presented a
picture of rare beauty.
Another quite different scene present
ed itself opposite, on Mount KillIngton,
whose majestic head was perfectly en-
veloped with a thick cloud as white as
the purest snOw-not dazzling as white
clouds sometimes appear but thick. and
fieecy, and sofia huge mass piled like
a massive night cap on the bald head of
his majesty. In the whole panorama of
clouds there was nothing like it, as if
this properly belonged to him, as a giant
about going to his rest.
Then, opposite, on the western sky,
were hung huge banners Of golden clouds
of the most brilliant and varied hues,
where the king of day had sunk to rest
a canopy of glory and beauty very
rarely seen, and in contrast with the
other scenes, most beautiful to behold.
But all these glories soon vanished, as
the queen of night, attended by Jupiter
and Mars. led all the starry host of
heaven, without a single cloud in the
armament to hide the countless gems
which sparkled in the folds of her robe

GENTS GooDs.-A right good place
to buy articles in gents wear is at Ma
son s Jerkowski's, Bates House Block,
corner Merchants Row and Center
street. If you are not fitted out you can
call on them and they will be sure to do
the job as well as can be done. They
have an extensive stock of ready-made
clothing in endless variety, in the best
and most seasonable goods and nobby
styles Everybody, from the Oldest
man to the mere child, can be suited
here. Their stock of gents furnishing
goods and underwear is one of the best
to be found in town. They have always
on hand all the latest styles of hats and
caps, and one who would come here and
not be satisfied with such an article as
they can give him is very hard indeed
to suit. They have stock of travelling
bags and goods in that line hard to beat.
Courteous assistants are employed and
attention is shown every one who comes
in. The resident partner, MIR. Mason,
is ways at his post, has hosts of friends
and knows his business. In fact Charlie

and the jury, therefore, did not find a
vulgar verdict. 1t would be shame,
in the opinion of the jury, to hang zone
g in whose veins runs the blood of Wal
8 worth the just, and Hardin the brave,
but they did not stop to consider that
the justice of Walworth would have
condemned him and them, and the BRAY
cry of Hardin would have scorned him
and them. 1t is such verdicts as these,
and such language as this, that brings
the administration of justice into con-
tempt and makes the verdict of juries a
by-word and reproach. The fault, how
ever, is not with the courts, but with
the people from whom Jurors are Sc
lected.

Glass BOrIneIs.

Whatever may be said of the aim or
result of the Vienna exposition, it has
certainly been the means of bringing to-
gether the choicest products Of the
world. and of giving the people of vari-
Gus nations new ideas concerning mat
tiers Of which they had never before
thought In no direction has wider
range been given than in the manufac-
ture of glass, and new forms, designs
and uses of this material are now pre-
sented to the world for the first time.
Conspicuous among these is a lady's boa
net or head-dreSs. which, for elegance
and beauty, cannot be excclled. The
idea of glass hat is certainly novel, and
many objections might be made to it on
account of the fragile material, but in
reality the glass is much stronger and
more durable than the delicate materials
now in use for the same purpose.
The articles, as may be imagined,
come from Bohemia, and they have al
ready gained fair share of popularity.
Specimens have been sent to Paris and
London, and that,we should not be behind
hand IN so important matter, an enter
prising firm in this country have import
ed quite number, and viii Immediately
begin their manufacture, 10 De ready Tor
the fall season.
These hats are of the most delicate
and beautiful styles, and such is their
adaptabIlity to all castoms and occasions
that they will probably soon come into
universal use. The body of the
hat is made of lose pieces of
fine glass, fastened closely together
by gutta percha band, which allows it
to conform to the head. Inside there is
lining of silk which is the only piece OF
fabric used in the manufacture.
The trimmings ON the outside are after
the prevailing mode, consisting OF
wreaths, flowers, feathers and ribbons,
all made of delicately cut glass of Won
derful beauty. OF course all the trim
mings have their natural colors, and by
patent process the CLASSY appearance is
so well subdued that the material is not
suspected The most beautiful hum

with credit to themselves and honor to
their teacher, Mrs. II. NJ Holmes, who
has bestowed much labor in preparing
for the festival.
During the evening Prof. Newcomb,
of Boston, and Mr.. Day, of Rutland,
who were visiting in the place, were
called on to favor US with song. Mr..
Day sang a humorous song, "Simon the
Seller" and Prof. Newcomb gave us
two instrumental pieces upon the piano,
both of which were well received by the
audience.

An amusing incident occurred on
board the steamer Vermont the other
day. A gentleman, with carpet-bag in
hand, came through the main cabin to-
wards the ladies' cabin, on each side of
the door of which there are large mir
rors reaching from the top to the floor,
and seeing a gentleman with a carpet
bag looking very much like his own he
hurried up to the mirror, saying, See
here, sir, l guess you have got my bag.

was about. He says, . that man has got
my baggage and gone in there. He was
quite delighted when he learned his mis-
take.

FESTIVAL OF Roses AT BENsON.--LOv-
ers of music and children, were favored
last Tuesday evening by a floral con-
cert at the Town Hall, given under the
auspices of Mrs. Holmes, wife of Rev.
H. NJ. Holmes. This lady, who possess
es a fine soprano voice, under thorough
cultivation, is a great lover of good mu-
sic, and has done a great deal in Benson
to raise the standard of music. Her
generous and self-sacrificing labors for
the benefit of the children, and through
them the elevation and pleasure of
adults, should receive hearty commen-
dation from every citizen. About forty
children, misses and masters participat-
ed in the festival of the roses. They
showed careful drill in time and move
ment, and the floral display was very
beautiful, the children were dressed in
fine taste, the boys in drab pants and
vests, long white hose and white sleeves
with floral and evergreen adornments,
were fitting companions to the gaily
decked misses. We hope to chronicle
the occurrence of more such entertain
ments, and here we congratulate Mrs.
Holmes and all associated, upon their
success of this entertainment. For full
report of this festival, see letter from
our reporter, in another column.

knows his business so well that tie bust

establishment only some fifteen months

This house is connected with two other

at low prices. They propose to still
more enlarge their business, and so adj

The house of Jay Towslcy, of Dor
set, was burned on Thursday morning,
about two o'clock. Mr. Towsley and
family were all absent, and when the
fire was discovered it was too late to
save anything, though the alarm called
together quite a crowd. The house was
insured. The origin of the fire is a mat
ter of conjecture.
