the beauty of the scenery along the route,

powerful attractions to all lovers of pleas

SIxTY-FIvE pauper Arabs, who were re-
fused permission to land in New York a
short time since, were landed at Quebec
miles of Derby Line. They will pass
through there into the United States They
have with them ten performing bears
twenty monkeys and several horses, sup
posed to have been stolen, and are a filthy
ragged and desperate crowd, who are
| foraging on the community" The above
item has been going the rounds of the New
England press. The vagabonds have
reached Montpelier, or at least a part OF
them for they had divided into three parties
before reaching here. The first of these
came into town Saturday morning, but for
tunately their stay here was very brief
| They came down the river road from East
Montpelier, and were met near the residence
of Charles III. Heath by j. f. Dutton, sew
ing-machine agent, and +. w. Morse, gen
eral passenger agent of the Montpelier &
| Wells River railroad. Mr. buttons horse
was frightened by their hideous appearance
and SHE'D suddenly, overturning the carriage
and throwing out both its occupants
Neither was seriously hurt, though Mr.
! Dutton received some severe bruises. One
or two unimportant runaways resulted from
! their visit here, and the effect was to cause
| them to move on towards Northheld
MONDAY evening of next week is the date
for the presentation of the " Bohemian Girl >
at Blanchard's new opera house, and the
event is eagerly looked forward to by all
| lovers of fine music and acting. 1t really
! promises to be the event of the season in the
operate line. The opera is familiar to but
few of our people, having never before been
! given in this place, 1t contains, however
many popular melodies and all the solos and
concerted parts are pleasing. The scene OF
! the opera is laid near the city of Presburg
Austria, and the different phases of life IN
that country-from that of the nobility tC
! that OF gypsies and peasants-are introduced
! in this performance. The company num-
bers thirty one members and brings its own
orchestra. The principal character, that OF
Airline, daughter of the count" is sus-
tanned by Miss Eta May Hunt of the Bijou
| Opera Company, who has met with so much
success as " Famine " in Boston, and who
possesses a voice of unusual purity and
sweetness. Mr.. Samuel l.. Studley. musical
director of the Boston Ideal Opera Company
is the musical director, and Mr. Harry G.
Snow of the Boston English Opera Company
is manager. A special train will leave for
| Wells River at the close of the opera, and a
special car will also be run 10 Waterbury
and Richmond. Passengers for points south
on the line Of the Central will be accommo-
dated by the night express, which leaves at
| IL: 40 A. NJ. There will undoubtedly be a
large attendance from neighboring towns
and Montpelier people will do well to secure
