Readings At the Hail.

Miss E S. Chadbourne was greeted By a
very appreciative audience at the Town Hall,
on Tuesday evening. In her pathetic reci-
tails and readings she was more than usually
affecting, and handkerchiefs went up to eyes
quite frequently. The 'Blacksmith's Story"
and Goodnight Papa were her most touch
ing renditions In Feeding the Black FLY"
very humorous selection, the reader showed
her great versatility il so well managing ne
gro and Irish dialect, alternately. In a selec-
tion about the Deacon aud the goat, from
"OIdtown Folks" she gave us an excellent
piece of character reading, and the laughter
came from her auditors in an almost un-
broken ripple. The "Lover's Spy" was the
concluding selection. In this Miss Chad
bourne introduces perfect imitation of the
song uf the boholink, a gift which few pos
sess. The audience was greatly pleased with
the entertainment and many will avail them
selves of the opportunity TO hear this gifted
reader again, at Odessa, on Tuesday evening
next. During this week she also read at
Camden, Frederick and Milford.

Correspondence of the Transcript,
nnRSSA,

Mr.. Doughten has moved the shop anC
stable thai was on Main ST., back upon his
lot which makes a decided improvement il
this locality.
The fur trade has been brisk during the
past week. The competition being active
tile trade was quite lively, and the stock was
soon disposed of at good figures.
The I Re + tlildiags that are in course of cree.
ZION, are being pushed rapidly TO completion.
Quite Il number of other buildings and gen
eral renovation are anticipated for the early
future.
The peach prospect has not attracted much
attention as yet. The probabilities are that
a good yield will result if nothing OF a
blighting character should overtake them in
the contingent months
Bishop Scott, has been indisposed for some
days past His condition is rather precari-
GUS He was unable to attend the conference
that he was to preside over this week we
hope he will soon recover his wOnted health
and be spared many years of usefulness to
the church.
The annual school election took place on
Saturday last. Mr. D. W Corbit was elect
ed commissioner instead Of Joseph H. Enos,
whose Term of office expired. Mr.. Harrlng-
ION is still continued as teacher and is very
earnest and practical man. We think he is
giving general satisfaction.
Now sweI-appareled April on the heels of

wales and hills are waving with the richest

A Spring IdyI.

Gentle spring is come, or, if she isn't here,
she's fuoling us nightly. The badly win
tered steer leans against the fence and sniffs
the herbage ladened zrphyrs; the little birds
twitter in the trees ard .ook about them for
helpmates TO set up housekeeping with, while
the men who have settled all the pClitica |
questions of rhe day, paid off the National
debt and built dozen ship canals, around
the grocery stove, have gone out into The front
porch to discuss The Presidential camuaign
The busy housewife with dust cap and broom
has declared war in the household, and her
other half has retired to a safe position TO
await cessation of hostilities From be-
meath our window come the plaintive notes
Of Grandfather Clock, from a hand or
gan that responds to the artistic touch of an
Ita ian master, while the agile monkey, with
std expression on his countenance, looks
around and wonders how his race has 6egen-
Grated Ger the lea floats the fragrant aro-
ma OF frying behring's, and the dreamer
dreams of turnip green's The little frogs in
the ponds tune their Tyres and try their level
best to beit the Sunday School choir; The
pack-pedlar with So 80 worth of auction
goods goes out among the verdant hills aud
verdant other things, and the livers Of man
kind 70 on strike and refuse 10 resume
business for while This is called liver
complaint, but the liver never complains-it
is the man that owns the liver, that does the
complaining. And so nature moves on as all
things welcome spring, gentle spring. The
housefiy scratches his nose and wonders how
long he has been asleep; the wasp wags his
defensive and oftn,ive end the spring bon
net blossoms the dress-maker hurries up the
spring suit and the father of the family puts
his pocket-book between the leaves Of The
family bible so that he will know where to
look for it when he wants it in the fall.
