1t could not have escaped the notice OF

ard, ami the only American who has ever had
the honor of being admitted to the college of
musicians in London. He is now president of
the American organists' society, and an organ
ist of superior talent and culture as bis perform
ance last night demonstrated. Passing through
this place he was induced by Col Fuller to give
an organ recital for the entertainment of our
people. After his introduction to the audience
by Col Fuller, Prof Bowman made few re-
marks, and said that the first organ he ever
played was the father and mother Of the pres
Estey organ. 1t was in melodeon form and was
first brought to his fathers farm house when he
was child. The next morning he crept down
the stairs and before bis parents had arisen he
had picked out 'Araby's daughter" and he
wished to thank the Esteys for his first musical
inspiration. He then read the programme for
the evening. which was very enjoyable one,
each selection being encored by the audience.
The one thing which impressed the edito-
rial visitors last week was the spirit of i'm
provement and enterprise which they found
pervading the very atmosphere of Brattleboro.
The Christian Messenger, the Methodist paper
OF the state says: "Bratteboro is very for
tunate town, in the prevalent public spirit Of its
citizens. Evidently they delight in the well
deserved reputation which the town has &C.
quired, and local jealousies have no manifesto
ton in the united and most generous display of
its attractive features, and the unstinted credit
which is accorded to each and all who have
contributed to the prosperity OF the town.
Among those who have aided in this work, Mr.
Geo E Crowell, publisher of the Household,
occupies a prominent place. The growth of
his circulation to some $4,000 subscribers has
given him the means, which he has used with
most generous public spirit, to advance the |
growth of the town and to benefit its citizens |
in numerous ways. His work is also well ap- |
preciated by the people of Brattleboro, and he |
is honored by ALL" The Fairhaven Era says
"BrattleborO bars every evidence of having |
either one Of the most active village improve |
ment societies to be found in the world, or |
people who take more than an average pride in |
their surroundings. With their nicely painted |
closely cut lawns, many of which are |
surrounded with hedges of hemlock, the infab-
itants of Brattleboro have the most attractive
looking homes to be found in New England.
