present indications are that this will be a
short term.
MONTPELIER friends of the young man
will be interested in the following announce
ment, which appeared in the New Haven,
Conn, Daily Pdllddium of March Z: "E. L.
Smith, S6, has been offered for the remainder
of the school year the position in the Hill
house high school made vacant by the death
of Mr.. Curtis. Mr. Smith is at present a
member of the junior class in the theo-
logical school" The "position " referred
to is that of principal of the New Haven
high school, occupied for the past nineteen
years by the gentleman whose death is
mentioned. 1t is understood that Mr.. Smith
will accept this very tiattering appointment
and responsible position if the faculty of
the theological school will grant the
necessary permission. The WATCHMAN
takes the responsibility of extending to Mr.:
Smith the proper congratulations on behalf
of friends in this vicinity.
THE entertainment, "Our Mutual Friend"
given at Blanchard Opera-house, under the
auspices of the Ladies' Library Guild, last
Thursday evening was a most unqualified
success, according to all reports, and it was
the general opinion of those who were pres
ent that the acting was decidedly superior
to that seen in large majority of the pro-
fessional travelling companies that visit the
| capital The WATCHMAN was unable to
attend; hence the absence of a more de-
! tailed notice of the entertainment. The re-
celpts were IN the vicinity OF Slli, ana as
the participants all gave their time and
services and Mr. Blanchard kindly donated
! the use of the Opera house, the net proceeds
| were but small amount short of this sum.
Inc attendance was good anu abundant
evidence was gwen that the efforts OF the
actors were fully appreciated and the affair,
| as shown above, proved a VerV considerable
aid to the good work Ill which the Ladies
