There is yet rottenness unprobei in
Brattleboro. Waite's methods have had
altogether too wide swing. Fortunate
ly for the credit of our town they have
not tainted single other banking insti
tutiOn, but there are Institutions, one Ger.
taInly, in which they have made hole.
Ii Is to be hoped that facts now de-
veloping may have the full light.
The "Jollitles' is one Of the nealest
sprightlest combinations ever pus on the
road. Full of wit, and catching situa-
tions, there il nothing low. or vulgar
about it. 1t "hit" Brattleboro people On
its last visit the best of any troupe this
season, and the town hall is sure to be
crowded next Wednesday evening to see
them. Especially as the object OF Grand
Army Benefit is so worthy.
Tn g. A. X. hall was filled last even
ing for the 'camp fire." Major Wales
presided, and well rendered singing by
the Giee Club. Messrs Taylor, Emory,
Willis and Nichols, with Savory at the
organ, enlIvened the occasion. Re-
marks were made by Rev. &. E. Martin,
Major Wales, Comrades Currier, Selleck,
Colt. Keezer, Ii. E. Taylor and Hes
cock.
Mr.. G. B. Rice is acquiring a little noto.
riety by writing political letters from
South Carolina, reclting all sorts of Dem
ocratic weaknesses down there. We
have noticed substantially the same let
ters III the Worcester Spy, the Bennington
Banner, Ph9air, and number of other
papers. of course we have no right to
say that the letters contain untruthful
statements, and we believe Mr.. Rice to
be an honest man; but his facts have
distorted, irregular and unnatural pro-
portions because they are viewed from a
bigoted partisan standpoint. He seems
to be incapable of taking fair compre-
hensive view Of both sides of the unfOr-
tunate troubles which he narrates, and
