Sheppard VIC have enjoyed the services of
a pianist of rare ability. She has given
much inspiration to the convention by the
music she has so brilliantly rendered, the
echos of which will lingcr with us TO re-
mind us of her when she Is far away.
Resolred, That as soprano, Miss Hub
bell would not suffer in comparison with
many of the celebrated prima donnas of
our times She brings to her efforts a voice
of superior compass, delicate culture and
magic power.
ResoiUed, That this, the first visit of Mrs.
Crane, to convention of this county, has
contributed greatly to our pleasure and pro-
fit. AS a contralto, she has won golden
opinions from all who have been permitted
to hear her Should she visit us again-as
we sincerely trust she may-her coming
will be hailed with the greatest satisfac-
ton.
Resoleed, That as tcnors, Mr. Cluett has
charmed us, Mr.. Lavake has thrilled us.
As a baratonc, Mr. Schoonmakcr has cap
tivated us, and as to the basso, there is but
one Morowski. 1t Is mystery to all, how
so small man came in possession of such
a wonderful voice.
Resolced That Mrs. Cheney, Mrs. Hath
away, Mrs. Foster and Miss Burt, from
abroad, have contributed much to the in
tercst of the convention by their presence
and the valuable services they have rem
dered.
ReSolred, That we tender our thanks to
Messrs. Cluett of Troy, for the use of the
superior Chickcring piano they have so
kindly furnished for this convention.
Resolced, That we gratefully appreciate
the courtesy extended to us by the commit
tee of arrangements and the citizens of

DR.. Frederick w. Morris, resident ply.
stefan of the Halifax Visiting Dispensary,
M. S., has written letter the american
Medical Times, in which he states that the
"Sarracenia Purpurea," or Pitcher Plant,
native plant of Nova Scotia, is the rem
edy for small pox in all its forms in twelve
hours after the patient has taken the med
icine. That "however alarming and nu-
merous the eruptIons, or continent and
frightful they may be, the peculiar action
of the medicine is such that very seldom
is a scar left to tell the story of the disease"
If either vaccine or variolous matter is
washed with the infusion of the sarraconia,
they are deprived of contagious properties.
So mild is the medicine to the taste that it
may be largely mixed with tea and coffee
and given to connoisseurs in these bever-
ages to drink without their being aware of
the admixture. The medicine has been
successfully tried in the hospitals of Nova
Scotia, and its use will be continued.
The plant is a common one in our swamps
and has been used by DR.. Cole, of Bur
lington, for small pox with, as he claims,
much success

EVENING CONCERT.

The house was crowded, all the standing
room on the floor occupied, and the gallery
filled. The concert opened promptly at
eight o'clock with an anthem by the chorus,
which was followed by quartets, tros, du-
cts and solos. principally sung by the ar
lists whose names have appeared IN these
columns. Mrs. Morowski sang Rocked
in the cradle Of the deep with acceptance.
Mr. Whitcomb sang comic song, "The
dumb wife," and was presented with
beautiful bouquet, the only one of the con-
yention. handsome head of cabbage,
which oyercame his feelings to such an ex
tent that he felt under obligations TO return
the compliment by singing "Mis. Billings
baby" which brought down the house
again. The concert was concluded by a
thrilling and soulstirring rendition of the
song, Crowned with the tempest" Mr..
Schoonmaker and Miss Ilubbell taking the
solo parts. The foarth convention of the

Stories of the discovery of an auriferous

N. H., have become current of late, and ex-
cite considerable curiosity among the peo-
pie at large. Statements have been pub
lished in which it is claimed that the aver
age Of twelve working tests by milling pro-
cess and assays give return of $l40,72 in
gold to the ton of milling ore. Our spc-
cal correspondent in Peterboro' having
been instructed 20 inquire into the facts OF
the case, writes as follows:
THE whole thing is regarded with DIS
trust by our people. The article recently
published in Boston paper was evidently
written or inspired by the same interested
parties who gave statement to the Peter

intended to assist public sentiment. had

FORT EDWARD MUSICAL con-
vENIION.
Fourth ana Last Day.

Our report closed rather abruptly with
n brief account of Thursday evenings n
cert Suffice ii TO say that it passed off
successful and all who took part acquitted
themselves creditably. Towards the close
of the concert there was introduced a
comic quartet emit the Singing
Skule, sung by McssrI. Whitcomb of Ar
gyle, Capt lin j. II. Hayes of Hebron,
Tucker and Bcnn,t of Fort Edward 1t
was received vi II shouts of mcrriment
and uubuunded applause. Captain Hays
beat the time, Mr.. Whitcomb sang the solo
and all reared the chorus. 1t was enthu-
81. lcaly encorcs, d the champion quar-
tett of eight weights" had to come out
and sing the fourth verse.
Friday morning opened up pleasant, but
severely cold. The choruscs were rather
laggaid in assembling, on account of the
severity of the weather. The morning re-
hearsal was tolerably well attended, but it
was plain TO be seen that the extreme cold
and continued singing was beginning to
tell on the vitality of the class. Prof Per
kins, quick to discern and careful of the
strength of his singers perceived this, and
did not crowd or force, but allowed them
to lightly hum the music through, aiming
AT obtaining the melody and movement and
keeping the power in reserve. A short re-
hearsal was had in the afternoon prepare
tory to the second concert. The exercises
were entered into with renewed vigor,
showing that the forbearance in the morn
ing was a shrewd piece of strategy. The
concert opened at four o'clock to larger
house than on the evening previous The
first piece was an anthem by the chorus,
"Whcn as returns this solemn day." which
was sung with marked expression, follow
ed by duet, "Sweet is the dream, by
Misses Burt of Castleton, and Gregory of
Fort Edward, which was sung acceptably.
BY request Miss Hubbell sang 81 know
that my Redeemer livcth.' Trio and cho-
rus anthem, "Holy, Holy Lord God AL
mighty" Duet by Mrs. Cheney and Hatha-
way of Rutland. These ladies are favor
ties and always welcomed to the Washing
ton county conventions. Mr. Schoonma-
ker Of Troy, then sang slowing heart,
trust on" Duet eight of the swallows,
by Miss Hubbel and Mrs Crane, which
enchored. Miss Abbic Nickel, young
miss of Fort Edward performed piano
solo with great credit TO herself, if we take
exceptions to its length. This is matter
that all should take into consideration who
participate in entertainments of this char
acter. Mr.. Morowski sang the 1.-TWO gren
diers." The afternoon concert was con
cludcd by Prot. Perkins and Miss Hubbcl
sing the favorite piece, "The singing les
son." Miss Hubbell portrays to the life thu
hardships of the pupil learning to sing
while on the other hand Prot. Perkins re
presents the unmerciful and disciplinar,

The constitutiona.ity of the "Act

The constitutiona.ity of the "Act to
prevent quackery." passed at the last
session of the Legislature, is to be
tested. A doctor in Virginia City who,
it is said, has diploma, but will not
file a copy of it with the County Re
corder, as provided in the Act, has
been cited to appear in Court for vio-
lating the law, and is going to test its
constitutionality in the Courts. It is
claimed that the Legislature had no
power to discriminate in favor of ply
sicians who had practiced ten years in
this State, and against those who had
practiced the same length of time in
other States.

VIRGINIA CITY is blest with a census
taker who is troubled with excessive
modesty. He represented Storey coun-
ty in the Legislature last winter, and
of course voted for the San Francisco
millionaire, (who has five thousand dol
lars on the assessment roll of Storey
county, but swears he pays taxes on
half a million in Nevada), for United
States Senator. Since the close of the
Legislature, in volley of oaths and
shower of literature. the honorable has
been promoted to Deputy County AS
SCISSOR, and has been engaged in taking
the census. In the course of his ardu-
GUS duties it became necessary that he
should enter his own name. age, occu-
patton, ETC., on the roll, and he did it,
the Enterprise says. by very, mod
estly putting in the occupation column
after his own name the word States
man." People have heretofore been in
doubt as to the occupation of Nevada
Legislators, but this Comstocker settles
the question SO far as he is concerned,
and it is gratifying to know that in his
own estimation there was at least one
statesman in the last session, notwith.

many other evidences to the contrary.

THE INDEPENDENT STANDARD
BEARER.

The California Independents are D
queer set. They are silent on national
issues, and loud-mouthed on local af-
fairs. Their whole stock in trade con-
sists in opposition to monopolies; yet
while professedly warning against or
ganized capital, nominate an individual
for standard bearer who is shown to be
the most heartless, relentless, grasping,
selfish monopolist in the State of Cali
fornia. In an open letter to this kid
gloved aristocrat, John Bidwell, Isaac
Allen asks some pertinent questions,
and being we'll acquainted with his SUBJ
ject, shows the grinding process to
which Bidwell subjects all who come
within his grasp. AS an example of
Bidwell's opposition to corporations
Allen cites his attempt to appropriate
to his own use, without expense, the
waters of Chico creek, which rises in
the Sierra and flows to the Sacram ento,
to prevent fuming company which
had expended thousands of dollars in
building chutes from the mountains to
the town of Chico, from utilizing the
stream. This corporation, which is
known as the Butte Flume and Lum-
Der Company, with commendable en-
terprise, built a hume thirty-three
miles in length from the head waters
of the creek to the town OF Chico.
When it approached completion, and
the people were rejoicing at the pros
pect of cheap lumber, John Bidwell,
the anti-monopolist, rushed in, protest
in hand, and notified the builders that
their labor was vain, their capital sunk,
their triumph defeat, for the reason
that he, John Bidwell, owned the
waters of Chico creek. When the
company laughed at his presumption,
he then endeavored to secure the only
available piece of land for a lumber
depot and mouth for the fume.
This showing certainly proves John
Bidwell worthy the support of all who
are opposed to corporations, but it is
hard to understand in what manner the
people will be benefited by the cleo
ton of man who is known to be in
his individual capacity as soulless a
monopolist, so far as his power and
will extends, as the grasping corpora
tions he processes to oppose.
