Mr.. jerome Hopkins Cantoia Of

age that It deserved slim houses both
nights. Mr.. Hopkins is fine muSician'

Guiding some 40 little girls and boys,
who sang-"lIail TO the King.
The Oraioria was well arranged, which
required time, patience and money,
and We were sorry that it did not call
out more people.
1t isn't so much question with the
poor, whether or not it is to be II cold
winter, as whether there is cash enough
to get wood and clothing to protect
themselves against it.
Everything is subject to change, and

emily carried on by Messrs. Richmond

1t always does us good to meet the
smiles aud grasp the hands OF Wood
stock boys who have gone out into the
world, who do not forget old-time
friends, and pay occasional visits to
the old town. Mr.. George Mellish
made us very pleasant call on Mon
day. George is favorably known TO
many of the readers of the ACHE
used to set type for it-and now fills
an important position on the Boston
Daily advertiser. He looks as slick
and fat as an Alderman, a fact we are
pleased to note.
We have received from the publish
ers, "The Claremont Stationery Co..
Claremont, N. H., copy of a work
entitled the Screen Mountain Poets"
being collection of poems from the
best talent in the State. 1t is hand
somely gotten up book of 522 pages,
type, this size,) good paper, cloth
binding, with gilt edges, and is sold for
$500. 1t ought to meet with a ready
sale. 1t is Il great improvement on the
,'Poets and Poetry of Vermont" issued
some twenty years ago. There is a
fine steel engraving of Charles G..
Eastman on the first page of the work,
and nine of his best short poems are
given. The signature under the en-
craving is not his, for he was the
worst penman in America, not except
ing Horace Greeley. He served as
Senator from Washington County
once, and fellow member opposed his
election to some important office on
the ground of his bad chirography, and

stood, as there was no one in this
generation that could read it. There
are selections from about eighty authors,
but the most noted amoug them are

and no man or woman can read it
through without being morally and
mentally improved. 1t will be for sale
at all the Bookstores, or you can order
of the Publishers. 1t is not a second
edition of the "Poets and Poetry Of
