An excitement was OccasiOned among
our local nimrods on Wednesday morn

ance of bear on the Hollow road near
the village. When the crowd reached
the spot in pursuit of bruin the animal

AT the urgent request of a very considerable
number of persons the Stowe dramatic club will
repeat the drama entitled "Rlverslde Farm; or
Gladys Hastings Reward" Saturday evening,
Oct. 20, at the Town Hall. This play pre-
scented the evenings of the 5th and 9th of Oct,
when the weather Indictment and
cling so bad aStO make it hard for people to
attend, Nevertheless quite good houses were
gathered both evenings. We have heard but
one expression, and that of great satisfaction
with the drama and the manner in which it was
presented, and the characters impersOnated.
The guests at the Mansfield House at that time,
persons accustomed to Witnessing performances
of the kind of great merit in the various cities,
attended in considerable numbers and testified
to the excellence of the entertainment in the
most enthusiastic manner. The drama is the
production of one of our own citizens. Mr.. Clar-
ence Lamson. 1t has for some time been known
to his intimate friends that he had great fond
ness for this kind of literature anu excellent
taste and judgment concerning the performance
oil such plays. 1t is also well known that dur
ing residence of some years IN Chicago he en-
joyed and fully improved excellent oppoItuni-
ties for the study and observation of drama teal
works. In this play he has produced drama,
creditable to himself, and in which the whole
town may take just pride. He is his own stage
manager, the whole conception of the play
in all its parts is in his mind, and he may be
supposed to know well what rendering and what
impersonatiOn will do exact justice to his ideas.
The inspiration of his presence and his direc-
tions during the whole preparation and rehear-
sails of the play may account, in some measure,
for the completeness with which all the parts
are rendered. In any such play there must be
leading parts and if they are performed with
skill and judgment they must make the leading
impression. though less prominent parts may
be performed with perfectness. Amy special an
alyss of the drama would be out of place here.
Small bills may be referred to. Suffice it to say
that the drama is emphatically Vermont one,
the main ground of it having been laid here,
while to complete its symmetry some OF the most
exciting scenes are laid in the city. We bespeak
for the club full house, feeling entirely salts
led that no person who has fair capability of
nents, will ever regret the trouble and light eX-
pense of attending. This will probably be the
ast opportunity here OF Witnessing it. Excel
ent music will be in attendadee to enliven and fill
the blanks of the occasion. Admission % cts;
children 10 cts, doors open at O'Clock.
