In speaking OF the coming musical con-
venton at Manchester, the Journal of that
place remarks ''First-class solo talent has
been engaged for the grand musical con-

needed to go with it. viii our musical
friends in the surrounding towns come up
and help us? The excellent drill and plea
sure which it affords will more than pay
for time and trouble. We expect to hear
Music hall ring and we want all the help
we can get" 1t Is to be hoped that Rut-
land will send full delegation of singers
and that the convention will be success.
The Woodstock Standard OF tins week
says:
For some weeks there have been rumors
that Col. Geo. A. Merrill, general superin-
tendent of the Passumpsic railroad was ia
resign, but we arc very glad to learn thai
he has finally determined to remain least
for the present. He is everywhere recog
niZed us among the leading managers OF
New England and we are not surprised
that the directors refused to entertain the
idea of his resigning. 1t is fortunate fol
the company that he remains and has un'
disputed power in all matters relating tC
the operation Of the road.
