The Mddlebury College quartette club
and orchestra will give a concert at the
town hall on Tuesday evening, March 3D..
This will be one of the most pleasing en-
tertainments of the season, and will

club has won an enviable reputation in
those localities to which it has been
called, and we predict for it hearty
reception on the part of our citizens.
We find the following editorial, among
other fiattering concentrations by the
press, in the Ticonderoga Sentinel: "The
concert at the brick church on Wednes-
day evening was unusually fine" After
brief description of the entertainment,
the article closes as follows: ave can
conceive of no pleasanter way to pass an
evening than in listening to the delight
full singing and instrumental music of
the Middlebury College quartette club"
The object of those having the matter of
public entertainment in charge, in our
community, is not so much to raise
money for objects however desirable
as to promote that Intellectual and social
development so essential to the happi-
ness and prosperity of every community.
For this reason the admission fees charg-
ed have invariably been placed within
the reach of all, so that no one can afford
to stay away. The coming entertain
ment will not be an exception in this
particular. Only fifteen cents admission
