Cooley, handsome li- Ebrary copy of ssTwenty Years of Congress, z 1 a work that will better embalm it's auth l or's memory than would four years in the white house. Presidents often retire to obscurity, but the Clays, Websters and Blalnes need no official honors to secure them their proper place in history. The work was peculiarly suited for such pre- lsentation, and was we'll deserved tribute from the club to it's president.
 The democratic jollifcation last Thurs day evening was favored with good wealth CT except in the respect of muddy streets, to which cause is attributable the failure of the procession to come up to the prom | ised degree of impressiveness. A consld- erable number of sscavalrymen" came out, and behind them 8 large crowd of torch bearers, but largely of small boys and with but little method in their marching The liIuminations, however, were very fine, the residences of J. V. Squier, J. J. Ellis, k. Is. Hicks, E. E. Butterfeld and W. M. 1 Crawford presenting a beautiful appear I ance, and other residences and stores be- ing perhaps as noticeable or nearly so. l Farther out from the village center, Chas. Fox and others on the line of procession made fine displays, but the muddy streets were bar to trips of inspection except by those in line of march. At intervals along the line of march colored fires, rockets and roman candles of most brilliant appear ance were burned. It was late in the even ing when the entire FDand of the streets had been made. The enthusiasm was kept up on the entire weary round, but the cele- orators kept their balance admirably, and were universally peaceable and orderly. The gun imported for the occasion became d;sa ,HlAd after few salutes, but was fail ure anyway so far as size Of noise was concerned.
 MT. Holbrook's musical convention last week, with its closing concert, was hardly success, considered money-wise, though satisfactory in every other wise. The political excitement and bad weather broke into the four evenings of rehearsal, but nevertheless goodly class were train ed to degree that very enjoyable con- cert was given, and MT. Holbrook's skill as an instructor and organizer made ap. parent. The audience numbered but about a hundred, bad weather, hard times, and the political excitement aforesaid,
 working disadvantageously. The class sang we'll in duets, quartetts, and choruses, ably accompanied by Miss Edith Snow on
 the organ. Miss Medbery also played ac- lceptable organ music, and Miss Stimp- sons violin and organ playing was encored every time. Mir. Holbrook has not yet decided whether to start vocal class now, but will if large number request it, oth- erwise will wait until times are more aus- picious.
 Last Thursday night, one of lot of carousers fell against window in Leach's ICentral Clothing House and broke it. Two of the gang of carousers entere | through the break and removed consider able clothing, though claiming to have re-
 turned it all later. No steps have beeI
 taken to prosecute, as the breaker of the | window paid for the damage.
