TheChoir Festival, to be held here
next week, promises to be a success.
Some of the best choirs in the State
will be present, among them the sur
pliced choir of boys and men from St.
Paul's church, Burlington. 1t is also
expected that the two choir boys from
Mr.. Whitney's choir in Boston, who
sang so acceptably here last week, will
be present. A few copies of the music
to be sung have been left with Mr..
Murdoch and can be obtained at his
store. The practice of such music,
taken from the best writer's of church
music, cannot but be of the greatest
possible service, not only to the singers
but also to those who listen. This will
be the sixth Festival that Mr.. Whitney
will have conducted in this State. and
he is also the regular conductor for the
Festival that is held annually in Trim
ity Church, Boston.

some 20 per cent off of their majority
in the State from four years ago. In
this town the contest has been the
sharpest one for forty years, and shows
one thing certain, that rings" and
Grades" in the g. o. p. have come to
an end, and that honesty, even in poll
tics, is the best policy. On the clcv-
