THE OPERA HoUsE.-The cold weather
the Weiscl Musical Soiree, and the un-
usually crowded house Of the evening be-

make the audience at the above named

large on the second, as on the first per-
Torrance of the MajIltons. However
the attendance was not bad by any means
The programme was the same as on the
preceding night, except that there was "A
slight change in the dresses, and pru-
ming out of portions of the farce which
were rather broad, and hence objectiona-
BILE.
The Majiltons brothers and sister, to-
gcther with the entire troupe, acted,
sung and danced with great spirit, and
entirely to the amusement Of the audi
ence. As usual, Mr.. Charles Majilton
succeeded in tying his legs up into yari-
Gus knots, and Miss Marie displayed
her grace, and Mr.. Frank his humor
With consummatc success.
This was the final performance Of the
troupe this season, and they have added
fresh fame to that they had previously
acquired in this community.

Big Words

A citizen of Baltimore has been hunt
ing up some big words, and publishes
them in the AmerlcGn for the benefit of
the getters up of spelling matches.
We should advise all our friends to post
themselves on them Immediately, for
fear that they should be called upon to
spell them during the next match. The
first word offered is said to be the long
est word in the English language, used
often in old plays, and placed in the
mouth of Costard, the clown in Loves
Labor Lost, act v, scene t., "Honor-
Observation-Disclosures"
The next, in pilgrims of the Rhine, "
by Buwer, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS"
The next from Rabelais, ''Antiperica-

The next is the name of an officer
now in Madrid, Don Juan Nepomuceno

The last word is the longest in any
language. 1t may be found in the Elk
klesiazousai" of Aristophanes, very
excellent comedy, and placed in the
mouth of one of the actors. 1t consists
of 169 letters, and makes seventy-seven
syllables, and must have created some
laughter when spoken. Some actors of
the present day would hardly risk it.
The employment of women clerks has
been sanctioned by the officials of the
British treasury.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1875-04-15

The London Times has very good
opinion of the Yankee nation, after all.
1t has been reading GOV. Tilden's mes
sage on the New York canal ring frauds
and feels moved thereby to say "We
all know that at heart the American
nation is as sound as our own, and
equally capable of noble impulses. The
malpractices thus exposed are inexcusa-
bic, but the corruption is not deep
seated, and is by no means characteristic
of the American people.
Among the sensible Southerners who
are working molly to preserve the peace
and improve the condition of their
country, we occasionally find one whose
sayings are needed in Northern ears.
One of these is Major Hotchkiss, of
Staunton, West Va, who lately, in q
public speech only one minute long,
said ''If you would all take the same
interest in developing the resources of
your country that you take in hunting
public offices for yourselves or friends,
you would soon have one of the first
and best States in the Union"

Death of a VernonteF.

John Barber died at his residence in
Ogdensburg on Sunday last, at the age
of "a years. He had been a resident of
Ogdensburg for the last forty-three
years, and one of its most enterprising
and successful business men. He was
born at Wardsboro, Windham county,
Vt. The Sentinel says "He came to
Ogdensburg in 1882. He commenced
business on his own account on the
stand now occupied by the Ogdensburg
Bakery, torty-One years ago. By indus
try, economy, enterprise and integrity
he won good name, the respect of his
fellow-citizens, and competency. He
always kept large number of men en-
ployed. His enterprise was not confined
to the bakery business. He had a de-
cided taste tor improvements, and in
vested his means in the purchase of lots
and erection of buildings" A large
number of the business blocks and build
ings of the city were built and owned
by him.
