There was an immense house at
Academy hall Tuesday evening to see
the play of " Uncle Toms Cabin" by
Anthony & Ellis company, being, it is
said, the largest house any travelling COM
pany ever obtained in that hall. Every
seat was full and pretty much all the
standing room was occupied. In fact, the
demand for reserved seats was so great
that the accommodating ticket seller
sold seats twice over, to the confusion
of the later purchasers. Of the play as
an exhibition only praise can be spok-
en-. Some of the acting was inferior,
but most of the parts were carried out
we'll. Miss Minnie Foster as Topsy
was all that has been claimed for her.
Mr.. G. E. Dudley as Gumption Cute
and Phineas Fletcher, and Mr.. Dan Hart
as Marks, the lawyer, were very effec-
tive, receiving great appl use. The
death scenes were we'll acted and very
affecting. The jubilee singing was
good. Altogether the audience was

Burlington has been fortunate
enough to secure lecture from the en-
inent English astronomer, Prof. Rich
ard A. Proctor who is now lecturing in
the large cities of this country. The
lecture is to be given at the Howard
Opera House, next Monday evening.
Prof. Proctor is by far the most popu-
lar lecturer and writer upon subjects
connected with his special study, and
his lectures prove an extraordinary at
traction wherever delivered. His writ
ten contributions to science are read and
quoted the world over, on account of
his unequalled power of investing the
dryest scientific details with the charms
of poetry and color, and rendering them
comprehensive to the ordinary under
standing. His subject at Burlington
will be "Other Suns and other Worlds"
and will be illustrated by telescope
views of heavenly bodies thrown upon
large screen by the stereopticon. Adj
mission tickets, with reserved seats, so
cents. From points between Burling-
ton and Rutland tickets will be sold for
fare one way, and If tickets enough are
ksold to warrant, a special train will
llesye Burlington at the close of the lee
fure for Middlebury and intermediate
stations. This is an opportunity that
our people ought not to miss, as it will
probably be their only opportunity to
hear the great astronomer, :
Last Saturday evening a small
army of tramps arrived here from the

for lodging, and were sent to the ranch
of Jasper Dunn, who makes a speciality
