The Members Reception.

The members reception of the Y. NJ.
c. A. and the Woman's auxiliary was
held on Tuesday evening. Refresh
meuts were served at the rooms be-
tween six and eight o'clock, which were
visited by large number, who par
took of the bountiful supply the ladies
had provided. At $50 musical and
literary exercises were given in Athe-
nHum hall, consisting of songs, read
ings and piano music. The exercises
were interesting, which, preceded by a
season pleasantly passed in social in
tercourse, made very agreeable Occa-

Odd Fellows visitation.

The visit of Moose river encamp-
ment of this place to Thomas Wildey
encampment and Vermont lodge OF
Montpelier last Thursday was one of the
pleasantest affairs in the history of this
encampment. On arrival at Montpelier
the visitors were met at the train by
that encampment and lodge with the
Montpelier band and escorted about
town, arriving at the American house
about three o'clock for dinner. At sew
en- o'clock, at the rooms of Vermont
lodge, a social meeting was held until
$50, when fine banquet was served at
the American house, over which two
hours were most pleasantly spent.
TOasts and responses were the order OF
the evening, and the hearty cheers
which followed most of the speakers
testified to their good hits. The whole
arrangements were carried out by the
committee in a most agreeable manner,
and we are sure that the occasion will
be long and pleasantly remembered by
Moose river encampment.

The Union Sergeant.

This drama will be the attraction of
next week, as presented at Music hall
on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday eve
nings. Rehearsals are being held
every evening, which give indications
of "A highly successful entertainment.
The appointments are to be first-class,
and in point of military movements,
this play will surpass anything ever
presented in this place. Among the
intensely thrilling and realistic militia
~ features will be the Baltimore riot
and portions of the first and closing days
of the battle of Gettysburg. The qui-
ct country home in Massachusetts, from
which the summons of war takes the
flower of its youth, the scenes of enlist
ment and departure for the seat OF
war, camp scenes, experiences i'll the
rebel prisonpens, the surrender OF
Lee, capture of jefferson Davis, and
the reunion Of the long separated fam
lily, are thrillingly and wildly por-
trayed. Wherever it has been pre-
scented it has achieved immense sue
cesses, running for series of from
three to ten nights, and in one place il
has been presented for a series o.
nights at five separate periods. The
advertisement, in another column
and the small bills which will be circu.
lated, will give fuller particulars.

The Electric Storm.

On Thursday and Friday evenings
there was very fine auroral display
the display on Friday morning being
said to have been a magnificent one.
The electric storm Thursday night ex-
tended from the Atlantic to point be-
yond Omaha, and seriously interfered
with Geographic communication. Al
Chicago the switch-bo was on fire a
dozen times, and a half-dozen KEYS OF
the instrument were melted by the cur
rent. AT Milwaukee the atmospheric
electricity coming to that city on one
wire had such dynamic power as to
keep an electric lamp burning. A wire
was worked between Washington and
Baltimore Friday afternoon with ter.
restial current alone. A despatch wa,
sent from Bangor, Me-, to North Sid
ney, distance of seven hundred miles
without the use of a battery.

AT THE NORTH CHURCH.

Rev. II. w. Jones spoke from the
words of 1. John, .: IA: II have writ
ten unto you, Young men, because ye
are strong, and the word of God abid-
eth in you, and We have overcome the
evil one" This, the speaker said, was
an apparent reference to former writ
ing. 1t is also true of every true
Christian, who is strong in Christ, and
who is thus enabled to battle with
wrong and overcome it. Youth is the
period for achievements, and it is the
period for being strong. Numerous in
stances were cited, showing that the
great results which have shaken en-
pires and determined the fate and
shaped the course of nations have been
achieved by men while yet in early
manhood. They are but few of the
many that might be instanced. 1t is
true that they are exceptional cases,
but there is IA greatness denied to none
1t is the greatness which comes from
strength and nobility of character. He
briefly considered the elements which
constitute this strength of character
One of these elements is ones control
of his passions as regards his physical
nature. The bodily faculties are the
tools for Gods work. Another is the
control of ones temper. An angry
man is weak; he is in another man.
power. Another is the Imagination
where strength is shown in repelline
impure thoughts. Another is fortitude

scr to bear calmly the little perpleM

Music Hail.

The movement for the proposed en-
largement of Music hall has assumed
definite form and appearances now
seem to indicate that it will be pushed
forward to completion. A committee
has been appointed by the Young
Mems Christian association, under
whose auspices the movement is being
made, to present the matter to the cit
liens and solicit their cooperation in
the work by subscriptions. The pro-
prietors of the building, with charac-
teristic generosity, have offered to give
the site and building to the association
if they will raise sufficient sum of
money to enlarge and improve it i'll the
manner proposed. This is an offer
which rsighted people consider one
that should be accepted, for in this
manner only is there a prospect of st.
Johnsbury having increased hall ac-
commodations for long years to come.
1t will be many years before the ne
cessities of the town will demand the
erection of business block which
would contain "A large and cOmmOdiOus
hall and, unless this offer is accepted,
the public may bid farewell to all hopes
for Il new hall. The universally and
non sectarian character of the assOcia-
ton give it II better prospect for ac-
complishing the desired object than
any other organization or body of men
Hence the movement has the right
backing. In this connection it may bt
well to state, to avoid miscOnceptiOn
with the young mems work in this com
munity. The hall project is to be car.
ried forward through the association
but the funds raised the other evening
and any other funds that may be RAISED
or contributed for the young mem,
work, is an entirely separate matter
and will i'll no manner be devoted t,
the proposed project. 1t is proposed
to fit up the lower room in the build
ing for the young mems rooms, and thi
plan will insure decreased expenses TO
the association for the future. In adj
ditiOn to the saving in the matter o
rents for the association rooms an,
for the hall for the lecture courses
there will be the income from leasin,
the hall for various entertainments
and the association will have a hall il
, which they can hold, without expense
such gatherings as require cOmmOdi
Gus rooms. As matter of public ben
eft, and as a financial investment 70
the association, it will be beneficial
and prolific with good results. On
hundred additional course tickets coul,
have been disposed of if they had bee
available and if the law making it
, penal offence to place chairs in aisles q
= halls shall pass the Vermont house, tn
association will be badly crippled in it
lecture course next season, if thi
movement is not success, and tn
> course will have to be cheapened to col
respond with the decreased receipts
