 A numhtr from the Iron Works visit cd Alr W D Wan gers school al the Hill and Plaln Dist, last week
 The arlicle which was in the Brook. field letter Of last week stating that ] F Bennett had received q large order for carving knives was mistake. It should have been curriers' knives.
 An article in the Brooktield Netcs states that Tyson of tho BEE Is ieelolally op, posed 10 the Bro0ktield NstDs, and thai he would not take one home when offer. cd 10 him for nothing. That statement l would like to say Is incorrect, and the person who wrote the article must have put the wagon before the horse, as lhe old saying Is. Had ihe paper been offer, ed me should have accepted it, and 1 hope that both editor and paper VII meet with success.
 The West Iron Works School had a grand closing on Thursday last. The leading features of the occasion were singing, declamations. dialogues, &c. Compositions were read, several very good, but it was noticeable that several 0f the young gentlemen were in the habit of perusing blood and thunder stories judging from the tone of their productions, selections were read by Maud Wildmnn and Fannie Supple. ''Thc Curfew shall not ring tonight" by the former, was very finely rendered and ''The silent City of Greenwood" by the latter. "Homeless tonight" was sung by Minnie Wildman and 0rlie Sup pie Jennies Choice, "was sung by Maud Wildman, The Golden Stair" was sung by Fannie Supple, Maud Wildmsn, An. m Baleman and Minnie Witherell, Dialogue, "The Letter." by Stanly Ben nett and Charlie Messick, Second Dia. logue by Maud Wildman, Fannie Sup. pie, Charlie and Kenyon, Messlck, and Stanley Bennett Starring in Life" was performed quite nicely. They all de. passed off pleasantly. The singing was excellent.
 Miss Baldwin has returned to her home at Branford, Conn. During her brief stay in Bro0kied she has made many warm friends, who wish for her future welfare and happiness. She is certainly to be congratulated on the thorough drilling the scholars have received this Winter. BYsoN.
 In our former letters we failed to give anything like full account of the performance m the Town Hall Feb. 18th given by The Shaksperian Dramatic As. socia;ion. We expected that play so full of merit, and 50 admirably played, would have received, as it justly descrv ed hatteriug notice, from some writer more capable of doing it justice than ourself. However, we shall delay no longer, and say that, which IS we'll known to those present on that evening, that the performance gave great satisfaction, and was put upon the stage in good style. The part taken by Mrs Saml herman, us Therese was handsomely done, and displayed her conception of the character, and ability to perform it, Tn very marked degree. MT Geo C Jones, as Carwin, Was decidedly good lie has good voice, and gives suttlcenl spirit 10 his acting to command the at tention of his audieHce. Mr. II B Beers as Count de Morville, made fiue per sonal appearance, and with 8 slight hOarsness 10 contend with performed his part very credIAbly. The characters of Lavigne aud LUreGte, assumed by Mir Eugene T Shepard and wife, were excellent, aud provoked rcars of laugh ter.
 FOntaine pastor was also very hand. somely handled by Mr J W Sagendorf, NHFI,S l,,,, h,F q, was received with applause. His vener- able clerical look Was Il faithful picture, aud Mr. Sagendorf shared largely in the compliments bestowed upon all who took | part. Miss Eliza Meeker, as Countess de Morville. was all that could be desired i Mr Stanley Terril made good magis. Tate. Mir. Homer Lake, as Picard, and Miss Alice Terrill, as Vannette, though of minor importance were not by any unworthy of notice, and therefore are entitled 10 honorable mention.
 The farce Our Jemimy." though ex. ceedingly long, and made all the more SD by delays seeiningly unnecessary, was however, richly enjoyed. Mrs shermap and Shepard were the principle clarac- ters taken by llIe ladies. Messrs Shep. ard. Beers, Lake, Terrill ard Hawley were each very good in their respective characters. Our Jemimy" was full ot fun, and the audienee enjoyed both of these plays with undlsguised pleasure and for ourselves We can say that tke citizens of Biooktield need not feel ushau.ed of this association, for few towns of it's size can boast of so talented an organization ED.
