ANNA D1CkENSON.

Miss Fanny II. Edmunds of Boston spent
the Sunday in town as guests of Judge
Royce. Miss Dickinson on the platform
is grand off the platform most thoroughly
charming. Her face over which plays the
ever changing and expressive fire of genius
and power is of rare beauty, and her man
ner, most graceful and fascinating, has in it
no suggestion of those sterner and less
charming attributes which we are prone to
attribute, justly or unjustly to lady speak
ers. She has power and ntcllcct-you
can't look in her face and fail to know that
but in all the long journey of life you will
rarely meet Il gentlowoman Of more unas-
Stunning mein or one who has more thor
ouglly mastered the science OF perfect
ladyhood.
Miss Dickinson accompanied By her
friend, left by the noon train Monday for
Malone, n. Y, where she was to speak that
evening. She is to be at Pittsburgh Tues
day and at Lebanon N. H., Wednesday.
Her route for the present week involves
more than twelve hundred miles of travel.
easier work along the line of the New York
Central, and then leave for the West. We
can't help thinking that our Lecture Com
mittee made a great mistake in failing to
secure Miss Dickinson for their course.
CENTRAL VERMONT AFFAIRS.
The important railroad movement, con-
/ a.,
last week, viz the sale of the Vermont
| & Canada road to the Central Vermont for
three millions of money, has been received
and discussed with a vast deal of interest
here, and all save few GROWERS who would
be thrown out of employment BY its con-
summation, seem to be highly pleased We
are assured on competent authority that
the sale is as good as completed upon the
terms already stated The result will be,
an end of all the clamor which has been
| flooding the press and spreading among the
| people for more than year past, Il cessa-
ton of the incessant, malicious, Gripping
hostility which has been displayed by par
ties and papers whom it were needless to
name, IA discontinuancc of the expressive
and long drawn ont suit in Chancery and
removal from the shoulders of the Chan
ccllor of this circuit of that burlensomc
''old man of the sea" which has been
handed down from one to another for the
last eighteen years The question, too
Opaque for ordinary nortals to see through
at glance, of ''proritics OF lives" will
be done away with and the stockholders ii
the Vermont Canada will be placed n u
straight, plain basis. SO far as we can see
the arrangement is Il fair, equitable and
beneficial on, to all parties concerned

ITEMS.
DIR. Chaplin is announced to lecture here
sometime in March
The st Adams .4arertiSer hasn't heard
of the railroad change yet Patience don't
set on monument here. She sits around
almost anywhere and waits for the newsboy.
BY the way, newsboys here seem to be ineal
descendants of the Rip Van Wrinkle family.
They spend the greater part of their valu-
able time in sumbcr apparently and when
they do happen to wake up, which is at very
irregular intervals they proceed to hand
around the papers with Il confidence in their
seasonableness which is really sublime.
Your five o'clock morning paper is gencr-
ally deposited in hat pool of water on the
nine and then, resurrected and smiling OF
the grave, it is unblushngly fosted
on you in the shades of evening, by the same
ubiquitous Juvenile. As for the five O'Clock
evening papcr-wel you may think YOUR
self in luck ifyou get it between six and
seven. So the one makes your breakfast
unhappy and the other retardS the digestion
of your tea mullins.
