DIR. J. G. Holland appears in the Brat

man now living in this country who has
brought himself 50 near to the intelligent,
right-thinking masses Of the people, by his
writings a. a poet, author and editor, as
has DR.. Holland, and for this reason 1t is
only natural that the public should antici

probation of the praisoworthy effort of the
ladies in this direction. The display of
fancy work was large aud very creditable.
Delegations OF friends were present from
Hinsdale and Chesterfield. \ large n1m-
Der took part in the dance at the close of
the festival. The net proceeds were up
wards Of $3.50.
In the present rage for Centennial"
articles the old sleigh in which Mr.. Noyes
White now disports himself attracts much
attention. This ancient vehicle was for

Willard Of pummerston, and was bought
by him from the estate OF Col. Williams of
Willamsville, and it is automatically stated
that it was originally brought from Boston
about the year 1856. 1t Is, at all events. a
rare piece Of Centennial bric.a-brac.
Another novel conveyance which appears
on our streets, is the old Holland sleigh,
made for running on the ice, which the
late Hon. George Folsom brought to this
country, it having been presented TO him
during his foreign consulate.
