to satisfy Us that no more competent, faith

right man in the right place.
The scientific lectures given by Prof.
Richards on Tuesday and Wednesday were
not 50 largely attended as 10 indicate any
especial fonduess for scientific knowledge

that which greeted the Black Crook n few
| nights ago,-but why make sucS a COM
! pariNonH Electrical and solar phenomena
We have in abundance without expense for
the bare looking on; Black Crooks are not
TO be seen every day. Besides, Brattlebo-
! 70 is lust as good as the next place" in this
regard. However, we are sorry that so
many of our people denied themselves the
| pleasure OF witnessing the really fine ex-
! periments performed by the Professor in
| tho course Of his lectures, and learning the
many important facts which he brought
out relating to elements which surround
us and contribute to our daily support and
welfare.
The Uickerman house, on Main ST.,
recently purchased by the Unitarian socie-
| ~, was sold by auction last Monday, to
Thos. Common, for $780, and the barn to Da-
vid Miller, for S23-the condition of the
sale being that the buildings shall be moved
of the lot within two weeks from the time
they are vacated. The old church had pre-
viously been sold by private sale to Henry
Burnham, for 5000. a / orlion OF the build
ing will probably lie moved back on to
land owned By Mr.. Burnham. By the
purchases OF land which the Unitarian
building committee have recently made, u
! lot with eighty feet front on Main ST., and
one hundred and three feet in depth, has
been secured on which to place the propos-
ed new church editice, which will stand
about twenty feet further south and eigh-
teen feet further west than the old church.
With the size Of the lot thus increased, and
located, as 1t will be, on street corner, no
more beautiful or desirable lot for church
could be found. The general plan and
style of the church are decided upon, and
full specifications are expected from the
architect, Mr.. Boyden of Worcester, Mass,
very soon. When these are received bids
for the job will be called for and opera
lions will be at once commenced. The i'm
provement to Main ST., when the church is
+ completed and the new street opened
through to Oak street, will be of very
marked and noticeable character.
