Farm truck is booming, and yet the
lords ofthc soil are no, happy. Po-
tatocs, 80 cents; eggs, 2S cents
cheese, (Jossclyn's bcsD II cents
butter, 30 cents. How is that for
high? A local clearinghouse
keeper, Mrs. , ut the
dinncr-tablc the other day, was
discoursing ilucntly and eloquenlly but
in rather sad tone of voice on the
great and sudden rise in prices of
articles for her table, and among other
things mentioned butter as having gone
up to 80 cents. We suppose this was
to discourage her boardcrs from
using it so freely. 1t didn't discourage
worth cent. A lean, lank, slab
sided Yankee, who could plaster more
butter on his bread and vegetables
than Jersey COW could produce,
reached out for the butter-knitc and
scoopcd what was left on the dish,
remarking-"Yes, marin, | know it,
and good butter is with it,"

The Boston Opera Company gave an
excellent entertainment, 'Tit for Tat"
or how rakish husband got caught
up with by his wife with the aid Of the
hired maid, when he went to see the
widow, at the Town Hall, Saturday
evening. Mr.. Harry G. Snow (Mr.
Scrcamer) has few equals and no
superior rs delinerator of character
and songstcr. Miss Julia +. May
(Mrs. Screamer) has fine musical
voice and was loudly applauded at the
close of each song and Duet. Miss
May Alice Vars (Belinda) is q natural
actress, songster and mimic, and re-
ceived the appreciation Of the large
audience. Her imitation of flute
music with her lips was novel and fine,
and brought hey an encore. Mr..
Chas. +. Dennee, the musical direc-
tor of the Company, can pull music out
of a piano, certainly one of Russell
Murdock's Chickering's. Mr.. Peaks
was suffering from cold, but he acted
his parts well. This is the third visit
of the Company here within a short
time, and with each visit they grow in
popularity. We hope they will make
it point to visit the place again dur
ing the coming winter.
The weather continues warm with
frequent and heavy rain falls. Just
what is needed.
Hon. Warren G. French has been
elected director in the Vermont &
Canada Railroad Company.
