THE excursion to Missisquoi Park under
the auspices of the Montpelier military
band last Thursday was, in point of order
and enjoyment, a success. The party at this
place filed nine cars, which number was
| swelled to sixteen before arrival at the park.
| The band numbering twenty-five pieces,
gave two concerts during the day and
| played Justify on their return home. The
net proceeds of the enterprise were S4455,
which, while not despcable, will at least be
instructive for future railroad contracts.
PERRY & CANNING have just put one of
their fine motors into Bethany church to
furnish power for blowing the organ, and it
works to the complete satisfaction of every
one who has witnessed its operation. These
! gentlemen may well feel proud of the sue.
cess which their motors have attained
and the organ attachment, which is OF
their own invention, is equal to any
other. Formerly it was nearly an i'm.
possibility for one man to keep the bellows
| full when the organ was playing full power
Now that difficulty is entirely obviated
WE have received the following communi
cation: Would it not be for the reputa
ton of Montpelier and the honor of the
constituted authority that it should be lef
to it to decide who and what are considered
nuisances to be suppressed? If a religious
body comes into this town and has influence
enough with its citizens to rent hall tC
worship in, they should be protected il
their natural rights so long as tolerated, anC
mob of lawless, goddess boys should not bt
allowed to molest them. Will the good peo
pie attend to this and effect salvation in som,
measure from the lowest diabolism? JovE.
