In the line Of public entertainments some
rich treats are in store for our people. On
Friday evening of this week the celebrated
Fsirbarn family, Scottish vocalists, will
give an exhibition in Joslin Hall, and on
Tuesday evening Of next week, the Odd
Fellows of this place will present the beau
tiful drama, entitled, "a Dream at Sea-"
The play is an exceedingly fine one, and we
hope the efforts of the society will be duly
appreciated by our citizens.
1t becomes our painful duty at this wri-
ting to chronicle the decease Of two old and
highly respected citizens. Mr.. Charles
Ripley died at the residence of his son,
Charles Ripley, Jr on Monday morning last,
in the 73d year Of his age. He came to
Poultney in the year 1928, was married in
1880, and, with the exception of five years,
has resided in this town ever since. His
wife, aged II years, survives him.
Sophia Goodspeed, aged 81 years, and
widow of the late Andrew Clark, jr, died
on Tuesday last. She was the mother of
Ira NJ, Andrew, and Hiram X Clark, res
idents of this town. The funeral services
were held ON Thursday.
About twenty-five OF our patriotic young
men participated In a torchlight parade at
Fairhayen, last Tuesday evening.

We think the members and friends of
the NJ. Z. Church of this place, under the
pastorate of the Rev d Rose, deserve spec
ial notice in consideration of their strenu-
ous efforts this winter to sustain preaching
In their midst. The society at best Is a
weak one, numbering hardly score of
members, but even these few, with whom
the responsibility of church support rests
have shown themselves equal TO the emer-
gency by instituting and holding "evenlng
socials" once fortnight during the greater
part of the winter, for the benefit of the
church, which have proven quite success
full. The last one was held Thursday eve
ming Feb. 2Sth, at the house of Mr.. John
| athan Atwater who from the depths of his
generous heart so contributed TO the re-
freshment board by furnishing oranges and
confectionery and so entertained his guests
generally (nearly hundred) that all in at
tendance pronounced it decidedly the best
social of the season. Receipts of the eve
ming above nine dollars; total receipts Of
the winter above sixty dollars. The church
| desires to tender hearty thanks to all those
contributing in its behalf especially to Mr..
Atwater.

as conspicuous as usual on such occasions.
The pleasures of the evening were enhanced
by some very excellent music by Mr. VIM.
