The popular play. Pinafore." is to be
placed on the stage at Concert Hall, on the
evening of Thursday, February 9TH. We
doubt if any dramatic entertainment ever
given in Vermont has pleased so nearly
universally as Pinafore. Once hearing it
does not satisfy. but seems only to add to
the desire to hear it again, and repeatedly.
Doors open at 1880; play TO commence at
o'clock.

The next regular meeting will be held at
Roxbury. Saturday evening, February
18th. The post will hold festival and
oyster supper upon that occasion, and it'll
expected that four recruits will be muster
ed in Mt that meeting. Every comrade,
member of the post, with their wives and
children, are requested to be present at
that meeting. The last quarterly report
shows n gain of four members over the
number reported one year ago. The meet
ings are interesting and instructive, and
discussions and camp fire stories of army
life recall to each comrade the days of
campaigning down in Dixie. The post
held an oyster supper and festival in De-
cember, and about fifty were present, in
Guiding the soldiers wives and children.
The festival was very pleasant one, and
the members of the post and their families
hope that festival is the prelude to many
such pleasant gatherings. Every soldier
in Northfeld and Roxbury should unite
with the post and attend its meetings. 1t
is q sacred duty they owe to their COM
rades in arms, to the honored dead, to the
G, A. R., and to their country to preserve
the fraternity and the memories of the
deeds of the soldiers, whether dead or
living, who were engaged in the fearful
struggle to put down the great rebellion
and save the nation. The G. A. R. hoists
the banner of Fraternity, Loyalty and
Charity" and asks all honorably discharg-
ed soldiers to enlist under its banner.
