The Barker family sang here last
Monday night, to the general satisfac-
ton of the audience. They are excellent
musicians, fine singers and good people.
Some of their songs were very excellent,
and were each worth the price of adj
mission. These singers have always
been noted for harmony, good taste and
choice selection of music.

The oyster supper on Wednesday
night was an agreeable affair, and very
pleasant company gathered to listen to
the lecture and music, and to partake of
the supper. The ladies who prepared
the entertainment extend their thanks to
the friends of the Congregational church,
who invited them to their commodious
Vestry and dining rooms, to the musi-
clans and to those who generously assist
ed them in making the affair success.
About dozen English sparrows have
taken up their abode with us for the
winter, and may be seen almost any day
about the village. twill be remember
ed that these birds were imported from
England several years since, for the de-
struction of noisome insects. They have
multiplied wonderfully and can be found
in all large places, Boston, New York
Philadelphia, Barton, &c. 1t will b.
we'll to SO use these birds that they will
not fly off to some rival village or town
A very good audience gathered to hea
Mr.. Webb's lecture on his native country
and the customs of the English. Hi
description of the country and the in
sight he gave into the customs Of Eng
land, were of peculiar interest. Will
many things were extolled, the speake
did not fail to speak of some of the bat
things, particularly intemperance. tina
afflicted that country. On the whole
looked at from his standpoint, we thinl
this a little the best place for tn
Yankee people.
SAD AocIDENT.-Henry Legendre,
! boy of about Is years of age, was fatal
, injured while sliding down the Taylo
hill on Tuesday last. He was ridln
"belly bump" on a sled on which clea
had been nailed, and struck part of tn
railing of the bridge with such force a
to frightfully injure his stomach an
, bowels by the cleat. He lived in grea
agony until Saturday, when deaf
ended his misery. He was good DO!
and has helped his widowed mother
support her family. The family has tt
sympathy of the entire community.
Some of our boys, on the street, al
> getting to be disgustingly profane.
> they think profanity an Accomplishment
that renders them more smart, popul;
or respected, they have made a bad mi
l take. The habit is foolish, degradir
e and wicked, and no man or boy can il
5 dulge in it without disgrace to himse
n aud injury to his community. If Il
habit among the young has resultt
t from the example of few men who i
dulge in it, then the sin and disgrace
o it falls in measure on them, and thu

j. it. We suppose every man will ha
sins enough of his own to answer fc
e and will not care to be held accountab
