SpauIdings concert OF Bell Ringers. at

week was well attended and gave general
satisfaction. Tie cornet playing by
Georgia Dean Spaulding and Nellie Daniels

audience. Herbert Bcckwith sung several
songs, supposed to be of comic charac-
ter, but his onunciaii0n was 50 rapid that
| there was very little understood by the
! audience, only that before them stood q
young man, dressed in white pants, lodging
and lettering about upon the stage, looking
as if he enjoyed it himself, singing and re-
| peating jargon of words in such an inAs-
tinct and rapid manner that no mortal inan
could understand the words he uttered, and
of course no one knew when to PIT in the
laugh; Herbert had better learn one or two
things first that he was never made for
a comic genius and second, whenever he
attempts it he will fail. Spaulding is u
gentleman, and bis concerts are chaste and
artistic, and worthy the liberal patronage
they received
Gen Major, an eX-cOnfcdcrate, gave Il
lecture in Academy hall to small
audience. The general gave q very cordial
| invitation to Vermont farmers 90 pull MP
stakes and emigratc to the south where
land may be obtained at very low prices,
and labor is very cheap. He still preferred
the ''white mans government" and con-
sdered it rather CALLING TO see niggers
making laws for the government OF the
people He said that the north and the
south had had fair fight and the south
had been awfully whipped and sadly de-
moralized. They now wanted northern
energy and capital to put the southern
states on n solid basis, and it would flourish
and blossom like the rose" Tho speaker
| interspersed his address with stories Of
their sufferings as soldiers and as people.
and threw in now and then an anecdote
which made the lecture quite interesting.
Professor Brainard preached in the
Methodist church, in exchange with Mr.
Meeker. His sermon was fall of whole
some truth, and was listened 10 with close
| attention.
We have municipal laws that forbid

the town have ordered the police to arrest
parties who place themselves in that po-

weather will permit, you may see two or
three nots or squads of loafiing, foul
mouthed, drunken nuisances, entirely OBJ
structng the sidewalks. so that modest.
decent people are obliged 10 turn out and

rect this evil. Why not try it:
Rev Joseph Cook, of Boston, preached
/ in the Congregational church, on Sunday
forenoon, from John Il chapter, % and %
verses. Mr.. Cook is not Il stranger among
this people, and was greeted with full
house. He took the ground that Whit
field and Pres. Edwards were the chosen
eXpoundcrS of advanced christianity in this
country before the revolution, and secuted
the idea that men should abandon n prin-
ciplc, because n majority was against it.
That God had system in all His works,
and in His own time would bring light out
of darkness, and order out Of confusion.
| That 4 mistaken notion had prevailed
among educated men in reference to chris
tanity in Germany. That he learned
while there, that in nearly all the uniycr-
| stiles, christianity was largely in the ma
| jority, and was fast advancing. lie be-

| Thad. Chapman who has been danger
ously sick for long time at his fathers
| house in this village is slowly recovering,
aud we hope soon to see him on the streets

| panionable young man, and his absence
from among us in business circles is more
sensibly felt.

1t Is astonishing. to see what an amount
of freight is brought in and carried away
from the new depot in our village. You
will scarcely ever see less than two or
three teams, either going or coming, and
sometimes you see ten or dozen. Those
that bring in loads come frelghted with
hay, lumber of various kinds, iron, bark,
logs, large quantities of white birch sawed
up into square pieces, three or four feet
long, cut out by Peck & Allen at East
Middlebury and destined to be landed
somewhere in Massachusetts, TO be worked
up into spools for thread and pill boxes,
lastly large quantities of charcoal is being
unloaded and put into coal cars, to be used
somewhere south of us in the manufacture
of iron. This coal is burnt in kilns about
ten miles from here, Ripton, and brought
on runners in loads containing three or
four hundred bushels.
We notice that the. New York and Bos-
ton papers record good deal of suffering
among the poor in those cities Common
ly, the desttution and suffering has been
among the emigrants and low, vile, lazy
and drunken classes but at this time, it
it strikes another class that deserve the SYM
patty they seem TO be receiving from the
wealthy and large hearted people of the
cities. The class | speak of Is composed
of mechanics and artzans, who, by the
panic In business have been thrown out of
work, and of course out Of an income. have
managed by selling their watches and fur
