WATERBURY singers, young and old, must
not forget the coming musical festival at
Montpelier. 1t promises to be a great sue
cess. Provided reasonable number will

chorus membership at Montpelier is already
nearly one hundred fifty Carl Zerrahn, con-

orchestra and several distinguished soloists

NOTICE was given in the churches on
Sunday for public meeting in Village hall
| Monday evening, to arrange for the observ
ance of Arbor Day. The meeting was ad
journed to Tuesday evening. We hope q
! rural or village improvement society will
be formed, and that it will energetically
undertake the work, so necessary, and
which is the legitimate business of such {

90 into the details of that work Every
person who has his eyes open and hi:
senses unobscured knows what they are
Apart from sanitary matters, there is worl
enough to do. Those dead trees on tn,
park are no longer good winter trees.
| The gaping bark, naked trunks and broker
limbs expose the fraud. They should b,
taken up, new trees planted in their places
and the number in the park greatly in
creased There are long, shadeless reaches
on each side of Main street from the hote
to the hill, that portion of the vllag,
which every stranger passing through il sees
| in which elms and naples should be planted
A score of other things and many othe
ways will easily be discerned to make tn
! village more attractive. more comfortable t.
those who live in it, and its property NOR
valuable to the owners. Let all local jeal
ousies be forgotten! and all go to work to
gether, with willing harmony, by well
considered means, to brighten up vilag
for which nature has done so much.
"WINoosKI " has the following to say
" | noticed two well-put pleas for reform il
your items last week. | do not plead for
reform, but for preventing measure which
if carried out, may require reforming.
am informed that il is proposed to build
slaughter-house at the lower end of w
nooski street. | hope | am misinformed
If not, | hope the matter will be publicl
discussed and brought to the understand
ing of the people of the town and village
1t seems to me that there are seclude
places where shambles can be put up--tha
1t is not necessary to erect them on one {
the pleasantest streets in the village, in tn
center of beautiful scenery, and on one
the most attractive drives in this vicinity
And then, again, what is to be said of tn
proposal to build slaughter-house hard b
our cemetery? 1t is too offensive to b
thought of. The people of Winooski stree
protest, and it will be, if built, injurious I
the whole community, to their property an
health. | hope the village authorities wi
not give their consent, and if they do, thu
some other measure of moral or legal SUI
sion will be employed to prevent it," W
