Skipped by the Light of the Moon.

Undoubtedly the most notable event that
has occurred in the amusement annals of
Montpelier for long time will take place
at the Blanchard Opera-house next Monday
night, the occasion being the appearance of
the celebrated comedians, Harrison and
Gourlay, and their famous comedy organiza-
ton, in the presentation of their phenomen-
ally successful and universally acknowl-
edged most humorous of all comedy pro-
ductions yet known to the stage, entitled
" Skipped by the Light of the Moon" This
production has been the reigning comedy
sensation of the past three years in all the
principal cities of this country, and in all of
them, from New York to San Francisco, has
created a veritable furore All the MEM
bers of the original company and all details
and effects of the performance, as given in
New York one hundred seventy-tive times,
in Boston seventy-ive times and in all the
principal cities for the past three years, will
be seen here. This company is, without
doubt, the most famous comedy organiza-
ton that has ever visited this town, and as
both play and artists come with the endorse
ment of all the greatest cities of America,
the appreciation of our amusement-goers
should be shown by turning out in such
numbers as to pack the Opera-house to its
utmost capacity. The New York Herald in
describing the performance, says:
n ana ts rSs ss
the longest and most successful run of all the funny
plays produced in this city for the past two seasons
funniest most ludicrous characters, scenes, stua-
tions, sayings and dongs that the human mind has

Obituary..

VERNON =. MOVES, the well-known banker
and tinancier of Burlington, died last week,
of gastric disease, aged sixty-eight years.
He was born in MOrrisville, and was the
son of Judge David 7. Noyes. In 1851 he
was connected with the old Vermont Bank
in Montpelier, and subsequently with the
Union Bank at Swanton and Commercial
Bank of Burlington. Some years ago he be-
came private banker. He had been
treasurer of the Champlain Transportation
Company since 1865, and was member of
the vestry of ST. Paul's Episcopal church.
His estate is estimated at half a million
dollars. Mr.. Noyes married, early in life,
Miss Emily Waterman of Montpelier, who
died in 1855. The Burlington Independent
says:
He had been a sick man for more than thirty
or dyspepsia. To this disease was attributable some
personal eculiaries that made people, first he.
coming acquainted with him, think lie was uncon.
