PROGRAMME
The brandon Reading Club.

A very enjoyable entertainment occurred
at the town hall in Brandon on Wednesday
evening last The Orwell reading club, at
the invitation of the reading club of Bran
don, joined them for literary enter
tainment for mutual pleasure and profit A
good audience were in attendance despite
the inclemency OF the weather and bad
travelling. Mrs. Charles Backus, president
of the Orwell club, favored the audience
with some excellent songs and ballads, rem
dered in very acceptable manner. DR..
G. w. Peck, president of the Brandon club,
read the humorous selection, "The Irish
man and the OWL" with splendid effect.
The doctor has considerable clocutionary
talent and his readings are always among
the best features of these entertainments.
Rev. M. l.. Severance and wife of Orwell
contributed much to the pleasure of the
audience by their very effective read
ings, as did also Mr.. Geo. Kimball, Mr..
Charley Abell-the latter of whom read
the lines of " Shylock in the Merchant
of Venice also Mr.. and Mrs. Cults, all
of Orwell. Miss Phelps, of the same club
recited the piece entitled "My Two Sons"

of Brandon read " Margery Grey Mr.
Ross performed "a brilliant solo upon the
piano, Miss Brigham, one of the teachers
of Brandon high school, Miss Minnie Dur
kee and MIR. Charles Williams also appear
ed in various selections with much credit.
One of the most enjoyable portions of the
evenings entertainment was The singing by
Miss Libbie Hamilton Of Brandon, who
was in very fine voice and charmed all with
the sweetness of her voice and the beauty
of her execution.
Supper was served by the Brandon club
in the basement, at which nearly one hun
dred sat down and enjoyed a rich and sub
stantial repast

Current Notes.

Habits are costly things. OF the 1884,
100000 which the new tax bill is expected
to bring in, twelve will come from whisky,
and six from tobacco and cigars.
All appearances indicate that the copper
mines IN Wolcott are going to prove mines
of wealth to those who own them, and
that they are richer than they were sup
posed to be when first opened
A Montana editor bemoans the calami-
ties of 1874 in the following touching strain
"First, that Beecher business then the
grasshoppers, then the democratic victories
ami now an increased tax on whisky. What
is this poor country coming to !"
A christian merchant in Plainfield sud
denly stopped selling tobacco, while max
ing a handsome profit in all its branches,
in consequence of being walked up to its
evils. He is the first one in the town or
in the state that has thus stopped selling,
to the writer's knowledge. Who will stop
next?
The latest novelty in the spirit line is a
praying ghost. 1t ''orates" in the town of
Lincoln, this state, and was first heard in
the form of prayer for sinners of the
wicked town. The voice came from out q

the night, was sepulchral in its tones, anC

The New York MAIL in speaking of a
new painting by Julian Scott, says the fol-
lowing "Here we have a local cartoon
which is fast passing away, perpetual with
all Its types of character and incidents of
action. Mr.. Scott has been there himself,
and he now takes us all with him to in
spect the embryo Creedmoor. We wish
that he would give us modern rifle match
as a companion picture, for there Is plenty
of good material at such scenes, as proved
by the sketches of Sydney Hall in the Lon
don Graphic. Mr.. Scott has shown his
artistic mastery over the boys in blue, and
gives us many clever little pictures. We
hope that he will follow genre painting as
assiduously, and if he does, the present and
the future will owe more to HIM than all
the bran-turned idealists that ever painted
earthly paradises or humanized angels in
brocaded silk and powdered hair"

The TiltOn-B.eehe Trial.
TLACY RESUMES.

New York, Feb. %.
The Tilton-Beecher suit was continued
this morning in the Brooklyn city court
room, which was,as on former days, packed
with spectators. The parties TO the suit
were all present. Mr.. Tracy continued his
address. He said that the charge in this
case was adultery, and the burden of Civ
ing the proof of it lay with the prosecution.
1t was not for the defendant TO prove his
guilt. They knew how difficult it was for
any person charged with the commission of
this offense to prove his innocence, deny
ing it on the witness stand. When he is
accused of this offense all he can do is to
give n denial of it, and bring his
previous good character to bear upon
it. These parties had been acquainted
for twenty years, and during that
time this lady was the wife of Theodore
Tilton. She was member of the church,
and her husband and pastor up to four
years ago were warm friends. He visited
their house at Mr.. Tilton's request during
that time, and there was not the slightest
evidence to show that the defendant was
guilty of the offcnse imputed to him.
There was not the slightest evidence either
to connect this oifense with this white
souled woman Of having criminal inter
course with her pastor You will remem-
Der, gentlemen, the story told by this
woman reeking from tho dens of pollu-
ton, Kate Cary or Kate Smith, us she
called herself, who swore that she saw the
plaintiffs wife sitting in the lap of her
pastor and heard him say, Elizabeth, how
do you feel?" and her reply of " Dear
father, feel so-so." The audience here
burst into laughter, in which Mr.. Beecher
and his wife Joined. When this had sub
sided Mr. Tracy continued "And now,
gentlemen, you will remember the story
told by Mrs. Tilton's brother. when on one
occasion he went into the parlor-at what
time he does not know. Mrs. Tilton was
moving rapidly away with her face flushed.
Mr.. Beecher sat quite still. This was not
in bedroom, but in the parlor of the house.
Mr.. Tracy continued his argument until
adjournment. He said We shall produce
witnesses whose character you shall moi
doubt. who shall repeat accurately what
they have heard, and who are influenced
by no motive but TO tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. Admissions OF
oral confessions are always unreliable,
for il is easy to see how men relating
what another party mad said were liable tc
be misunderstood. There was another diff.
fllculty in the matter, and that was to re
port accurately what occurred aud the Ian.
guage used in which the evidence
is based was not unambiguous. Al
these rules should be carefully observed
He would show them that the witnesses
for the prosecution were not to be believed
and that they had the strongest motives
for fastening the guilt on the defendant.
