the Spaulding Bros. was also we'll
received. The organization is a good
one and Morrisville may we'll feel
proud of its band. We understand
the receipts amounted to about $40.
B. F. Brown, graduate of Am
herst, class of IA, has been engaged
as Principal of the Montpelier Union
school. He comes directly from AthOl.
Mass, where he has taught for two
years. He comes highly recommended,
and if any one thinks he may not be
able physically, to manage the pupils,
| it may be said that he rowed stroke
oar in the famous winning Amherst
University crew.-1rgts. Mr.. Brown
is brother of Mrs. w. ii. II. Kenfield
of this place.
The festival for the benefit Of the
sidewalks, was well patronized by
our own people, and also by the friends |
from Morrisville, from whom we re-
ceived a generous donation. The
clerk Of the weather was very freallv
on Friday, and we were disappointed |
in not being able to have the party |
upon the lawn, and we had but little |
time to prepare the school room, which
we offer as an apology for a little
seeming disorder which occurred while
serving the refreshments. The receipts
were S3O.12. Con-.
w. w. Linfeld, Esq, gave another
lecture last Saturday evening at the
American House parlors, taking for
his subject 9 From Belgium to Swift
zerland." He gave graphic descrip-
ton of the various places and points
of interest he visited in those coun-
tries. The lecture was very interest
ing, and held close attention through
out. BY request he will lecture at the
sameplace next Friday evening, taking
for his subject . Italy," dwelling most
ly on Rome. These lectures arc not
only interesting but instructive, and it
is seldom our people have the privi-
Iege of listening to lectures of such a
high order.
An entertainment not on the pro-
gramme, came off at the Town Hall
Monday night in the shape of dog
fight. . Skip Noyes" and Nero Wa
terman," Democratic CANNES, haven't
much love for each other, and this is
not the first time they have met as
foes. But Oh this occasion they met
without much ceremony, and the audi
ence was not aware Of the atfray until
the onslaught had commenced. Women
jumped up on the seats, and men
Scampered about looking for place of
egress. @. L. Waterman went to the
scene of action and faced the foe.
Taking one by the head and tail he
was about to put an end to the con-
1lct when he received 4 bite on the leg l
he says from "Skip." After much
ado and considerable commotion the
conflict ended, and the regular show
commenced.
Following are the arrivals at the '
American House for the week ending '
