We have concluded to produce Neigh bor lockwood on Thursday evening, Mar. 18th. If the weather and the travelling do not conspire to fill the house on that night, we shall repeat 1t on some evening of the following week. Perhaps we shall repeat 1t even if the house is filled on the 18th. To the poor fellous who stood all through the performance of Uncle Tom. I wish to announce that we shall have high benches made for that part of the Hall, so that on the next occasion they can sit down and still see over the heads of the people in front. A ventilator in the ridge will admit air; and invite the foul breath''to mingle with the universe B again invite our friends in Lltchfeld to try the experiment of an excursion on the Shepaug once more. The play, Neighbor lockwood. is tremendously long, I con- fess; but 1t is very amusing, very inter esting,. full of character. full of incidents. It always afforded great delight to audi ences in the Old Methodist church, when va had the floor for stage, bedquilts for scenery, and school children for actors. We filled Farmers Hall when We played if five years ago, and We hope to fill our new Hal1 on the 18th. What entertain ment equally good sill you have if you do not come? F. ". G.

 REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS.
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publi- eaton.
 me names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired.
 Conmuuications of Q personal nature will not be puhlahed unless the propriety of such publication is manifest. .
 Msnuscript should be written only one side of
 Rsusr correspondents can avoid all danger of hay tnR ako contributions of others attributed to them by assaming signature, single letter being suff- ia ease of two communications relating to the same event. the fullest will usually be published. Hence onnmunications never come amiss, even from places where regular correspondents since they often give vnluahle additional information.
 simnae statement of facts is all that is necessary and haslilg written communications will be corrected before publication.
