A Look Backward.

Mr. EditOr.-Thirty-tive years ago next
Friday and Saturday evenings, May 20 and
30, A. ID. 1880, the Germania Musical Society
of Boston, a company of skilled instrument
talists, then recently formed in Germany
for the purpose of giving orchestral per-
formances in this country, on their way
from Boston to Montreal, were by mistake
switched off for Montpelier and gave con-
certs, on the evenings above named, in the
old Free church. Their skillful playing was
a new revelation to the inhabitants of this
inland town and the widest enthusiasm on
all sides was the result The people had
no words in which to express their delight
and surprise over the performances. The
society went from here to Burlington, and
one man, whose enthusiasm had been famed
to fever heat thinking to do the musicians
good turn by directing the attention of
Burlington to them and their marvellous
work, wrote the Free Press letter for pub
lication, couched in the most eXtravagant
language. The Free Press was then edited
and published by General ID. w. G. Clarke,
himself a wit and wag and withal a man
of sound sense He had especially an eye
to detect the ridiculous. In introducing his
Montpelier correspondent, he used the fol-
lowing language: 1--WE give below a letter
from a somewhat excited correspondent in
Montpelier. 1t must be conceded that the
Germania Society has made him see stars!
If he never gets back to the sober realities
of earth, we shall hold the society response
ble." My mind has been refreshed in the
transactions of the Germania Society at that
early day by the sojourn among us of Carl
Xerrahn, who was member of that notable
organization. Other names were William
Schultze, Carl Bergman, conductor, and Wulf
Fries. For some reason Bergman, the con-
ductor, was not here and Schultze, then a
handsome, beardless boy nineteen years of
age, ofiiciated in his stead The programme,
in part, is recalled as follows: "Gungps
March, " Fest March - and Sounds from
Home," the latter number creating the most
intense excitement. To some of our unso-
phsticated minds, William Schultze both
in conducting and playing was reasonably
the proudest of men" greater than he who
takes a city" 1t is worthy of remark, per-
haps, that Mr.. Zerrahn remembered the old
Free church and pointed it ont on the occa-
sion of his late visit
