)Cn lall 10 near the Boston Opera
Company next week Thursday night.
Prof. STAIRS lectures are interesting
and pretty well attended. Sunday
night he had full house, which wa
an advertisement for his performance
which opened Monday evening. A
committee of four gentlemen are select,
ed from the audience to assist him or
the stage. The committee Monday
evening was S. W. Sayward, Jasper
Hazen, S. f. Sterling and Dea. L.
Gillingham. During the evening sew
eral wonderful things were performed,
such as rope tying and untying in the
cabinet, spiritual demonstrations in
the cabinet, giving the names of citi-
zens who had passed over the river,
etc. The committee Tuesday evening
was John d. Powers, Harvey Royce,
Dea. l.. Gillingham and Oscar Fare
well, who pronounced the Professors
work "all square," The slate writing
test was the most wonderful, in which
a note was written out on the slate
while the Professor and Mr.. Royce
held another slate over it, and signed
William Collamer, who said he was as
happy as clam among the angels.
1t wasn't William Colamer's Ian
guage. He w.ote good hand for u
lawyer and always used good language.
The Professor tied hand and foot, and
Mr.. Powers, bllndfolded, went into the
cabinet, and the spirits, we thought,
handled uncle John rather rough, by
stripping off two coats and his vest
and putting them on the Professor I'M.
der the ropes-something we never saw
done before. He took it good natur-
cdly, and it caused much merriment
among the audience. This evening
"wednesday he will continue, explain
ing some Of the "tests" near the close.
Thursday evening "materializing"
and explaining the "tests,' which
closes the entertainments. No admit
lance to hall on last evening after 8
o'clock for half an hour, or during the
clark scance -
The performance of "Maritana'
next week Thursday eve, the Dist, will
be as fine thing unsteady as any
thing ever in Woodstock, the company
being composed OF the best Of Boston
and New York soloists. Secure seats
now.
ii. I. Copp, who has held big
auction sale of all kinds Of goods from
a iine-tooth comb to n siver-plated
harness, here for about two weeks,
has closed to-day, and goes to Windsor
to hold forth while, no doubt to the
delight y of the merchants there
He keeps large, clean stock of goods,
believes in the maxim, that ''nimble
siXpence is better than slow shilling,'
and that it will win every time. He
sings printers ink, pays promptly
and literally, and don't whine when
his goods are all gone, because he
knows where he can get some more
just as good and just as cheap.
The Windsor county agricultural
society have bought the fair grounds
formerly leased by them, for 81, 200.
In order to secure the services of the
orchestra for "Maritana,' it is neces-
sary to secure large advance sale, so
if you wish to assist in having every
thirg first-class secure your seats at
once at Burdett's store. In Boston or
New York, or even in Burlington,
where the company appears the 22d,
it costs dollar or dollar and half |
for this same performance. Here it
only costs so and Is cents.
