The annual meeting of the Brattleboro
library association. which occurred Cd Wednes-
day evening. was adjourned on account Of
lack Of a quorum. 1t is hoped that a sufficient
number Of members will be present at the
adjourned meeting to be held next week
Thursday evening to permit the transaction
of business.
We have the best Of reasons for belicv-
ing that, because a certain Brattleboro sum
mer resident is an authority on civil service
reform, and holds leading place among New
York masters of legal lore, he is not thereby
necessarily incapacitated from taking an in
achieving distinguished success in the cul-
ture of that cooling, though slightly aqueous
fruit, known to science rs CHruH's rulgdris.
The large field of Indian corn Just har-
vested on Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton place is one
of the best which has been grown in this vi
cnity the past season. Mr.. c. II. Eaton the
farm manager, informs us that he has, by act
ual count, husked g. baskets of ears from co
rods Of ground, which would give yield of
80 bushels of shelled corn to the acre. The
field was chiefly fortified with stable manure,
though experiment was made with samples of
the Mapes fertilizers sent out by the State
Agricultural college. The stable manure gave
the best returns
Rev. Mr.. BurchRrd, who has suffered
more or less for some time from a nervous
affection Of the heart, was seized last Satur-
day evening with q severe attack of distress
ed breathing, and was entirely unable to oc-
cupy his pulpit on Sunday. He has this week
suffered several occurrences of the attack,
the trouble being aggravated by sympathet-
ic arrangement of the digestive organs. We
are glad to learn, however, that his Ihysi-
clans nre confident that with suitable rest and
!
customed labOrs.
We are promised fine presentation of
''Pnafore' by the Original Philadelphia
Church Choir Pinafore Company" on their
appearance here next Monday evening. This
company played a long and very successful
engagement at the Broadway Theatre, New
York last season, and was one of the best
which brought out "Pnafore' in that city.
We are assured that the combination num-
bers nearly 30 members. including soloists,
chorus and orchestra. If their rendering of
the opera is as good as that given here by the
Boston Museum company last spring it will
be worth hearing.
An appeal for aid in the work Of Bible
distribution was made in the Brattleboro
churches last Sunday preliminary to the can
vass of the town by Mr.. A. II. Fuller, the
distributing agent of the Vermont Bible So
ciety. In this appeal it was stated that up to
this time, in his work in this county, the
agent has found lOl families without a copy
of the Bible-l9 of them being in Westmin-
ster in Dummerston, Ii in Halifax, IA in
Putney, 10 in Marlboro, and - in Guilford.
Thirty-one of these families were Romanists
L
697 Bibles aud parts of Bibles were put into
circulation by Mr.. Fuller. There is room
enough, evidently, for missionary work here
at home. When, as is now the case, the
American Bible Society sells clearly print
ed and well bound Bible for ~ cents, or a
testament for cents, it is pretty certain that
families or in dividuals who do not own a copy
of either Bible or testament are suffering full
ly much from Indifference as from power
ty. Persons who wish to obtain Bibles before
Mr.. Fuller calls can be supplied at No. So
