A PLEASANT OFFICE.-MesSrs. Clarence
H. Pitkin and Charles w. Porter, who have
formed law partnership, are now estab-
lished in their new office in j. r. Lang
don's building, over the Montpelier Ma
tional Bank Their rooms don't follow the
traditions that make Il lawyers office fit
ting home for DR.. Dryasdust, but are
neatly fitted up and make an exceedingly
pleasant office. We are sure the firm
name of Pitkin and Porter will in good
time come to hold place among the well
known names of Montpelier firmslwho have
won a high reputation in the practice ofthe
law, as they are of the stock that able and
honest lawyers are made of.

Thurday evening was a delightful one to
the audience, but must have been much
less so to the performers unless they have
arrived at the point where they play for

their coming was bad it is true, but there
was no excuse for there being so few there.

who We're there perhaps more than any
other of the season.
