They give good show every t'me'
and it is always fresh and new, but is
admitted by all who heard them that
their last was the best. The four
end men--George, Hank, and thet two
Henuessey brothers can give as good
an entertainment rs any that travels,
alone but, just think of 1t, they are
backed up by eight or ten OF the best
musicians and actors Of the day.
While their songs, speeches, conul,'
drums, and facial expressions make
us weep from laughter, the morale
is excellent, and there is nothing in
word or acting to give offence to The
most tastidious. 1t is an excellent
show, and we are glad the boys meet
with the financial success they so
richly deserve wherever they throw
the "gates ajar.'

voice and pen were ever ready in de-

years he was the regular Rutland cor

Montpelier Argus d Patriot. lie
published and edited the Rutland
Courier for ten years. He took great
interest in public affairs, especially in
construction otraiIroads, and Rutland
is greatly indebted to him today for
his pluck and energy in making her
railroad center. In the dark days
OF the Woodstock Railroad he
stood by Governor Washburn, and
the road, and the Governor told US
once that he considered Mr.. Cain
one of the ablest and most public
spirited men in the State. He had
his faults, like the rest OF us poor
mortals, but we hope they lie buried
with bis bones, and that the good he
has done, in busy and active lite,
will live IN his name and bloom and
blossom like the rose
