The ladies Centennial fair, in Brattle-
boro, last week, was perfect success in
every particular, upward of $3.50 being
realized. Considering the entire county
was only bound to raise 800, Brattle-
boro ladies may justly feel proud of the
result
AT a meeting last Saturday of the
creditors of Lewis Putnam, he proposed
to pay so cents on the dollar. His liza
bilities are about S11 900.
The Barnabee troupe gave fine con-
cert on Monday evening, to a good house
Notwithstanding the bad travelling and
deplorable condition of the streets. The
troupe is composed of Mrs. Carter, So
prano, Miss Holbrook, contralto, Miss
Bell, violinist, j. F. Winch, tenor, How
ard M. Dow, pianist, and the incompar-
able Barnabee himself. On this occasion
Mr.. Collins supplied the place of Mr..
Winch. The programme was very
satisfactory one, the audience giving evil
dence of their delight by continued
round of applause. The performance of
Miss Bell upon the violin was truly de-
lightfuI Mrs Carter met with warm
reception and sang with exquisite taste
and sweetness, gracefully responding
whenever recalled, which was every time
she appeared Barnabee was himself,
the mere sight of his face being sufficient
to produce storm Of applause. Prob
ably no town in he State is more favored
with choice entertainments than Brat
tleboro. Lectures, concerts, instrument
al and vocal and the opera have fol-
lowed each other during the winter just
past,and given the public variety which
has been the source of great enjoyment.
The people of Brattleboro are mainly
indebted to Mr.. H. G. Willard, by whose
enterprise these entertainments have been
secured. Mr.. w. having for several
years had the management of them and |
during this time the first and finest talent
of the country have been represented

SPRINGFIELD.

The live organ man of Springfield
has moved his business to Woolson &
Thompson's brick block, where he will
keep large stock of sheet music, music
books, organs and pianos. He appears
in new advertisement this week. OF
his American organs he has sold sixty
during the past five months, a pretty
good sign that they are liked.
In spite of the common complaint of
dull times, considerable has been done
in the way of building this season. Two
new dwellings have been erected on Val
ley street, the house of Mr.. VIM. Lewis,
on Pleasant street, is just ready for oc-
cupancy, and new house is soon to be
erected on the common.
The annual contribution to the Amer
lean Board of Foreign Missions, from
the Congregational church in this place,
amounted to FIVE hundred dollars
ing more than double its last years con-
tribution to the same society. A good
beginning for the Centennial year, as
the pastor remarked

SOUTH LONDONDERRY.

We have had heavy falls of snow o
late. The great storm of the season wa
last week Tuesday. Also last Saturda,
we had severe storm. Both ended il
rain and left it very bad travelling. w,
expect now for several weeks it will b,
soft, if not pleasant, getting about.
Now believe me- We are to have a
Centennial Entertainment" It is Il
come off this week Thursday afternoon
and evening, at the town hall 1t is got
ten up by the ladies of the town. We
expect to have good old time. If it is
served up as our wives all hope it will
be, We shall hear all about it.
There is good deal of talk this
spring about moving and some of it has
already commenced. Mr.. Curtis, our
late popular landlord, is moving out of
the hotel, and Mr. Evens, the former
hotel keeper, is moving in. We all well
come Mr.. Evens back, and commend him
to the travelling public.
We forgot to tell you some two weeks
ago, that the young people connected
with the Baptist society gave an exhi-
bition for the benefit of the Ladies'
Social. The Music was fine, the pieces
we'll selected, and better acted. and as
highly appreciated. 1t was rich affair.
Intellectually and financially. We hope
the young people will favor us again with
as good an entertainment. Wewant some
thing to now and then break the monot.

We are all very impatiently waiting
for the sugar season to come For the

ATHENS.

Mr.. E. P. Shattuck calls attention TO
the fact that in all that has been said
about the past winter having been so re.
markable, mot so remarkable of late,
nothing has been said of the winter of
1873. That winter, just before Christ
mas, about a foot of snow fell, giving good
sleighing for ten days, when it came on
warm, the snow all went off and no more
fell till the night before the annual town
meeting in Mar, when about four inches
came. Mr.. Shattuck relates circum-
stance by which heremembers this winter.
Elisha Durham of Westminster, went
with two horse team to Mortified on
the first snow, for load of hay seed,
which he had bought to sell again on
speculation He waited several weeks for
snow and finally returned without his
load about the first of March.

SCHOOL MEETING.-The annual vii
iage school meeting, district No. |. Of
this town, was held Tuesday evening anc
quite fully attended. The auditors
treasurer and prudential committee made
their reports for the past year, which
were accepted, all but the treasurers re.
port being verbal The report of the
treasurer, Col. Wentworth, was adopted
The following officers were elected for
the year ensuing
Moderator-A. n. Swain,
Clerk Charles B. Eddy.
Prudential Committee-F. P. Hadley,
L. l.. Bennett, n. H. Farr.
Treasurer-G Geo. o. Guild.
Collector F. A. George.
Auditors. s. Coolidge.
The debt of the district is about $4,000,
and has not been reduced the past year
because the taxes have not all been paid,
there still being due some $1,000 or
more The tax voted was 30 cents on
the dollar for the support of schools,
with ten per cent discount to all who pay
previous to July LIST next. Thisis the
same as last year except the discount,
and as no tax was voted to apply on the
debt, which was 10 cents last year, it
amounts to 20 per cent less than last
year to all who pay on or before July 1st.
Much complaint was expressed on ac-
count of the unpaid taxes, and the vote
to discount was passed with the hope
that it might to some extent prove
remedy for it.

The Dramatic Club gave an entertain.
ment on the evening of the 21st, which
was well attended, as are their gather
ings always. Their play was a repre-.
sentation of the scenes and characters
of 1776. The Quaker, the Dutchman.
the negro, the tory, the spy, and last but
not least, the patriot. Persons promi-
nent in those thrilling times were faith
fully represented, so that for a time the
listeners were carried back in thought
and in emotions of patriotism TO those
former days whose centennial we this
year celebrate. This dramatic club are
deserving of great praise. They have
purchased and now paid for scenery for
the ball, to the amount of several hun.
bred dollars, and which is pronounced
by competent judges to be some of the
finest In the region, and have held them
selves in readiness to assist by their eff.
forts, any benevolent object gratuitously,
and we detect in them good judgment in
selection of plays, and a growing feeling
on the part of both club and people in
favor of those that are elevating and
moral in tone and which will prove a
blessing rather than curse.

clamation, but there was considerable
chaos at first which in several instances
was settled by the caucusing and can
wasting previous to the assembling of the
