The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1876-04-11

The proprietors OF the REGISTER
have leased portion Of the Sheldon
brick block, few feet to the north OF
their present location, and will remove
their establishment as soon as the requi
site changes can be made. The new To-
cation will be quite as desirable as the
old one, while ground floor Office and
more available room for business will in
crease their facilities and render access
easier. A mention Of this fact will
answer host OF questions as to what the
changes under process in the Sheldon
store mean.

JUNIOR Exhibition The annual ex.
hibiton of the Junior class of Middle.
bury College was held at Academy Hall
on Tuesday evening The weather was
unpropitious, as usual and the roads and
sidewalks fearful. But even these draw.
backs were not allowed to prevent the
gathering of fine audience. The splen-
did playing of the Middebury cornet
band at the door, during the gathering Of
the audience, aided materially in over
coming any weak prcjudices against slush
aud mud existing in the minds Of the peo.
pie. This was the first time the band had
been out the present season.
Prof. E Brainerd presided, and Prof
E. H. Higley aided at the piano, giving
first an instrumental piece and afterwards
accompanying the soloist Mrs. f. +.
Whitney, of Boston, who rendered most
effectively several ambitious pieces, and
in response to encores gave two OF three
more simple and popular sougs-the lat
ter quite charmpgy.
The speakers appeared in the glitter
and tiusel of stage costume one hundred
years ago. The effect was pleasing and
the appropriateness to the year was ap-
preciated.
