A committee of Post Bally Smith, G.
A. r., has been appointed to get up dra-
matte entertainment, for the benefit of the
Posts depleted treasury, which is to come

The St. Adams Musical Association will
give the fifth entertainment in our lecture
course on Tuesday evening We hear
many complaints from ticket holders OF
the way this years course has been
managed, the lecture having been given at
such long and irregular intervals as almost
to kill the lively interest usually felt and
manifested have in lyceum entertainments
If the different associations throughout
the State would act in concert and make
their list of engagements early in the sea-
son, say in May or June, the best talent of
the country could be secured, uniform and
regular dates made and the most advan.
tageous terms agreed on. 1t has been their
habit to wait until the best lecturers had all
their New England engagements made and
then take them then they might chance to
have night out, or lose them altogether.
This kind of thing is wholly unnecessary
and the people are tired of it,

occasion heartily enjoyed by all present
Oft, the Adrertisey truly says;
"Thc fact that the ball of the Locomotive

lives of the thousands that travel during the
year along the lines of the Central Yer
mont" Twenty years ago an engineer ball
was usually if not invariably a scene OF dis
order, drunkenness and violence, The
change in twenty years shows that supe-
rior class of men are now demanded for the
posts of locomotive engineers and also the
