The next entertainment in the series
will be an illustrated descriptive lee
ture of the battle of Gettysburg, by
G. M. RUSSELL to be given next Mon
day evening. Mr. Russell was a mem-
Der of Gen. Stannard's Vermont
Brigade, and consequently an eye
witness of much that he relates. Mr..
Russell is a professional elocutionist,
and to illustrate his lecture he presents
over one hundred and fifty of the
finest and most interesting photo
opticon views, magnified TO the largest
size permitted by the hall,reproducing
in a most vivid and realistic manner
the events from 1861 to 1865. This
lecture must be intensely interesting
and thrilling, and we expect to see a
crowded house.

The tax payers of this town are to
be congratulated upon the successful
administration of their affairs. 1t will
be remembered that at the last March
meeting it was voted to raise only
81 80 on the grand list. This gave the
town officers about $500, and the fol-
lowing figures showing how they
spent it are taken from the report of
the town auditors, now being printed
at this office. The school board had
one half of the $4,000; this left $3.50
for other expenses. The board of
5electmen drew orders for $3064 22 as
follows: on roads, S1176.10; other town
expenses, including the amount used by
overseer of the poor (S666.3O,) $1512.32;

expended on roads $2497.03, other ex-
penses, including amount used by the
overseer of the poor 1920, 40 S2SO3.T9;
salaries $341.22. The item OF salaries
would indicate that reform boards
came $34.5S higher than the average,
but it is due the present board to say
that the $1,000 salaries paid by them
includes salaries 10 auditors for two
years, and road commissioners. The
