The johnson Lecture Association is
again at work making arrangements for
the winter entertainment. and at the pres
ent time the prospects are that we are to
have a really fine course of lectures. The
committee have already made definite
arrangements for two entertainments:
Nine. Fry's concert for October %, and
Col. Copeland for some later date. The
Fry concert is a hundred dollar enter
tainment, and would seem almost extrav-
agant for a town of this size, but there
are among us a great many lovers of fine
music, who are anxious to hear again at
our home this deservedly popular COM
panY. Col. Copeland was in our course
last winter, and by his wit, eloquence
and sound moral teaching, completely
captivated his audience, and the unani-
nous voice of the association was to have
the jovial Colonel again. The committee
are still considering other lecturers to
fill up the course, among whom is Mai.
Dame, who, in his lecture on The great
naval battles of the rebellion" has won
laurels all over the land. Another is Lee
land L. Powers, a monologist, and rep
resents a whole drama, representing
each actor. and is a star in each place.
Mr.. Powers receives the highest praise
and repeated calls from ours sister towns
of st. Johnsbury and Newport, and such
praises are worth much more than the
usual press notices, however fine or true.
The committee have in consideration sew
eral Illustrated lectures from which to
choose one or more. Bolton, who shows
pictures of the old world; f. A. ODER,
who illustrates Mexico in its beauty and
ugliness, and w Wheeler, who shows four
hundred stereoptican views, illustrating
scenes in connection with the rebellion.
These are only few who are within our
means, and the committee would be
pleased to hear suggestions concerning
these or others from any one interested
in the welfare of the course. SEC.
