able special correspondent of Cincinnati
Times and Chronicle, is in New Orleans for
the purpose of making inquiries into the
state of political affairs in Louisiana. Since
MIR. Mussey has been engaged upon that
paper, which is edited by Joseph II. Bar
rett, formerly editor of the Nliddlebury
register, we have noticed many articles
from his pen which does credit to his abli-
ty as writer That paper is one of the
ablest and widely circulated radical Re.
publican papers in the great west
w. s. Alden & Co. are making an unu-
sual display of goods, such as books, sta
tionary and fancy articles in the Register
book store.
The Middlebury Choral Society gave a
concert on Friday evening last at Acade-
my hall. There was good attendance of
the music loving people, and the perform
ances gave universal satisfaction Part
first was a sacred cautata, "Thc Woman
of Samaria," by VIM. Sterndalc Bennett.
In setting the narrative of the journey of
our Lord into Samaria TO music, the COM
poser seems to have attempted no dramatic
form, but has contcntcd himself with civ
ing the story as it stands in the bible The
second part was made up of piano forte
trios, songs, duets, male quartettes. etc. of
the most difficult kinds of music to per-
FORM? yet it was executed with artistic
skill and elected great praise from the au-
diencc.
Rev. a. F. Bailey who has labOrcd faith
fully with the Methodist society for the
last three years, left here for the scene of
his labors in Congress street Church. Troy.
We think the society are fortunate in get
ting Mr.. Bailey as their pastor, and they
may be assured that they will receive from
him things new and old, which will make
them wise unto salvation. There are very
few men that make better use of their pre-
ceptive faculties than Mr.. Bailey. There
are very few who can impart to others the
practical knowledge gained by gathering up
the incidents strcwn all along the roadside
of every day life. May Heavens blessing
be upon him
Rev. Mr.. Meekcr who was recently ap-
pointed by the Conference to the Middle
bury charge in the Methodist Church
preached his first sermon on Sunday. He
seems to be an earnest, able preacher, and
the congregation seemed to appreciate his
efforts. In the evening he preached again
upon the "Itinerancy," and gave his views
of what the people should say to the
preacher, and what they should not say to
him. This discourse shows that the preach
er is endowed with good practical common
sense.
The dry weather which has prevailed for
the few weeks past, has given frst-rate
chance to the farmers to get in their oats,
and the copious warm rain on Sunday, wet
the ground, so as to start the crop along
without delay. The grass shoots up as by
magic, and all nature rejoices.
There has been no excitement in Middle
bury the past week. The roads leading
into town have been bad, but necessity
brings in people to trade which makes
business move along. The merchants
throughout the town have bought large
stocks of goods, and are displaying them
in the most attractive manner to be seen
by passers on the streets.

Inn have from early spring been engaged.
Mr.. Battell has been compelled to make
large additions to his house, and is finishing
off the rooms in hope of supplying the in
creasing demand. No more wild and pic
turesque spot can be found in Vermont
Parties can sally out and in ten or fifteen
minutes will find themselves walking in
the old, dark, primeval forests, in the fast
nesses of the Green Mountains. Now and
then you will be startled by the sudden
flutter of partridge from near your teet,
or the impudent chatter of a red squirrel
sitting upon limb, as much as to say,
what are you here for to disturb my quiet?
or you will hear in the distance Il brook
lodging around among the trees, prattling
to itself as it goes dashing along towards
the region of civilization If you have your
fishing tackle along you will be tempted
to throw in your hook, and the unsuspect-
ing hungry little trout grabs at it as pol
itician does an office, regardless of the
drawbacks, and if you are an expert, you
will soon have a speckled trout dangling in
the air. Who would not go TO Bread Loaf?
