DIR. J. WARD PARDo, thinking that our Marsh
field correspondence last week cast unwarmnted
reflections upon his dramatic company, sends us
the following: 1.-THE entertainments to which
your correspondent refers have never brought
with them any of that accursed drink The
company is composed of good citizens OF this
place. The audiences have been principally COM
posed OF the best citizens OF this and adjoining
towns, whose respectful attention and intelli-
gent appreciation, many metropolitan audiences
might take pattern from with profit. The COM
pany, on every occasion, have acted both on and
off the stage in manner to command the respect
and merit the applause of all good citizens. No
disorderly conduct in word or act, either in the
audience or on the stage, has ever marred' the
harmony Of these entertainments"
THE Republicans Of Mortified are requested to
meet at Concert hall, on the afternoon of Satur-
day, June 10Th, at three o'clock, sharp for the
purpose of choosing delegates to a state conven-
ton to be held at Burlington, June 23d, and
district convention to be held at Rutland, June
Both; the first to nominate candidates for state
officers and the last candidate for a member Of
congress After this a Garfield & Arthur flag
will be thrown out and ratification meeting held
in which short speeches will be in order. 1t il
hoped that Henry L. Slayton OF Chicago (who
attended the convention) will find it convenient
to attend and briefly address the meeting. Turn
out, all who favor the continued ascendancy of
the Republican party, and bring your wives, your
sisters and your daughters, and see the ball started
that shall roll on till victory crowns our efforts
next November.
