would lead virtuous Democrat like Mr..
Davenport to put absolutely behind him
aspirations TO Congress Ia a district which

Editor Swain 81 the Bellows Fall,
Times has the following among his "Brat-
tlcboro Nole~' Of last week : "During the
past four weeks Mrs. Keith Of Boston. Tor
merly Miss Lemoinc OF Brattleboro, has
sung in the choir Of the Congregational
church in that place. much 10 the gratitca-
ton of those who worship at that church
and Of n host Of her old friends, who felt
that she WAS quite equal To her former days
of which they we're so happily reminded.
1t was our own good fortune to have heard
her at the services last Sunday, when she
sang with sweetness and power both in
quHriette aud solo. The quartctte hymn
In the morning service was particularly
fine. Gov. Holbrook occupied his old pD-
sition in the choir, and time has dealt 80
lightly with him that for aught we could
see he is in as fine voice and looks as young
~ when we first saw him there more than
twenty years ago. Miss Clara Bugbee OF
Rochester, the temporary contratn, is a
young singer OF much pr omise."
