AS announced last week, the Bris-
toll singers rendered Bradbury's cantata,
"Esther, the Beautiful Queen" at Acad-
envy hall in this village, last Monday
evening. The people Of this town and
vicinity turned out in large numbers
and gave their Bristol friends hearty
reception. The house was well filled.
Mr.. G. Il. S. Pierce of Vergcnnes had
charge, and succeeded in his work most
admirably. The parts were generally
well sustained and with their large cho-
rus and their brilliant oriental costumes
they made very fine display. Miss
Bates as esther" was '.iust splendid"
She has sweet and well trained voice,
and her rendering of this part was very
effective. The other leading parts were
also we'll rendered and the effect was
very pleasing. The grand march of the
pages was beautiful, and the little ones
won the well deserved compliment of
an encore.
Our town clerk, Judge Cooke, has
procured a book for the registry ofdogs,
as provided under the new dog law.
That none may forget the provisions of
this law, which is stringent and en-
forced with severe penalties, we will
here briefly refer to the important
points. 1t is required that on or before
the 31st day of March of each year, ev-
cry owner or keeper Of a dog shall cause
1t to be numbered, registered, described
and licensed for one year from the 1st
day of the ensuing April In the Office of
the town clerk, and shall cause il to
wear collar marked with its owners
name and its registered number. The
] license fee is two dollars, which is to go
into the town treasury. The penalty
for the Infringement of this law is S15,
one third of which goes to the COM
plainant. The selectmen are required
to order police officers and constables
to kill every unlicensed and uncollared
dog. At the same time, any other man
may kill all such dogs wherever found.
Listers are required to take list of all
the dogs, and severe penalties are pro-
vided for false answers as to ownership.
This law also provides for recovery for
loss by injuries to sheep, fowls, or other
domestic animals by dogs, the damage
being first paid out of the town treasury
aud then recovered of the owner of the
dog doing the damage.
