Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-03-03

BILE discharge OF the DUTY imposed, merits
our hearty appreciation.
Moreover, your committee are aware
that a large number of specially good
singers are present-too numerous indeed
to be mentioned by name-and yet de-
serving of the highest praise as leaders
in the grand choruses. To all such.
therefore, on behalf of our constituency,
we render most sincere tribute and
none the less so, because their names
are omitted. Among this class of bright
particular stars we mention three, and
simply because they were frequently |
called out and always to the great de-
light of large audience, viz: Mrs. Ella
Mcvicar of Lyndonville, Mrs. G. G.
Beedle of Glover, and Miss. Carrie Prin-
die. TO our director, Prof. S. P. Pin
ney, of Greensboro, we are under peculiar
obligation. In the name Of our constit-
uency, therefore. permit us, sir. to ex-
press to you our congratulations in view
of the signal success of the present con-
vention. AS handspring communicates
its power to all parts of the complicated
machinery so you have been to US. We
have felt your energy and been regula-
ted by your motion as we'll; and in
these few days we have received from
you what might be denominated, for the
sake of brevlty. 'naultum IN parvo.'
Accept therefore, our grateful sense of
obligation coupled with the assurance
that the memory of this delightful inter-
view shall remain with US fresh and
fragrant-we had almost said with
Moore:
"As the in which have been distilled"
And, finally, permit us to hope that we
may meet again under similar circum-
stances; because conventions like the
present are always replete with pleasure
and eminently calculated to elevate and
refine.
Respectfully submitted by your COM
mittee,
W. G. SoMERv1LLE.
