correct all such prejudice.
The Plainview Mimi News of Jan.
st, contains the following reference to the
recent death Of Miss Hattie Bixby;
'Died at the residence of E. NJ. Douglas,
in Plainvew, Dec. 25tb, Miss Hattie Bixby,
aged "a years The deceased was an only
sister of Mrs T.. NJ. Douglas, and came here
for a visit from her home in Brattleboro, ",
last July. She was then in feeble health,
but for some time seemed to improve quite
rapidly. But consumption had already marked
her for the grave, and for the past few weeks
she has been slowly failing. Her death 30
soon was quite unexpected by her friends, as
she seemed no worse than usual up to the
moment of her DEATH Miss Bixby was
member OF the Baptist church OF Brattle-
boro, and though her health had not permit
ted her to form many acquaintance here, she
leaves many friends in Vermont to mourn
her early death"

WILHELM -PRITCH--sTERNBERG.
We are TO have the greatest musical event
of the season on Friday evening Of next week,
when Constantin Sternberg, the celebrated
Russian pianist Letitia Louise Fritch, prima
donna soprano, and August Wilhelm, the
world-renowned violin virtuoso, with Maxi
milan Vogrich as musical director will APP
pear in concert at the town hall. All these
great artists are too well known to need re-
mark from us, aud our readers may rest as
sured that this combination Of eminent talent
will give us one OF the finest concerts ever
heard in Bratteboro. Notwithstanding the
great expense incurred in bringing the COM
bination here. the tickets are placed at popu-
lar prices as announced in the advertisement
elsewhere published. OF Wilhelm the Bos-
ton Traveller says;
THAT the claim Of Herr August Wilhelm
to be the first of living violinists is conceded
by calm and unsympathetic Boston, no one
could doubt who was present at the opening
concert by this grand artist in Music Hall last
evening. His success was at once instanta-
neous and complete, and his victory was all
the more sublime from the fact that it was
not won by any trick or artifce, but through
the triumph Of his great genius and his COM
plete mastery over his chosen instrument"
The New York Evening Post speaks of Mr.
Sternberg as 1.-THE greatest virtuoso of our
modern school, and Miss Fritch receives un-
qualified praise for her qualities and achieve
ments as a prima donna soprano.
