Chicago will give an address at representa-

The concert Saturday evening would
have been far more enjoyable If the tempera-
ture of the hall had been few degrees
higher and sundry draughts of air had not
been felt. Some of these little crcum-
stances have a good deal to do with the en-
thusiasm and satisfaction of company and
audience. But the concert was excellent in
spite OF all, aud the orchestra fully sustained
its reputation. The violin solo of NJ. DeSeve
was the event of the evening, but the other
solos and the orchestral numbers also gave
the most genuine pleasure. Frauein Anna
9. Mantell was encored st each appearance
and her grace and unaffected manner won
Tor her generous applause.
CASPER the Yodler drew to the opera
house last week Tuesday one of the largest
audiences that ever gathered within its
walls. Casper's part in the play wins opu-
lar appreciation, while his chid-love aud
fellowship awakens a tender and sympa-
thetic strain. The villain was admirably
taken by Mr.. Jamison. In the comedy Mr.
Mccarthy and Miss Moore stirred the ris-
ibles Of the audience Little Florre O'Brien
and Matte Grer, the kids of the play, were
attractive child actors, and the other parts
were fairly well presented. Casper and his
child companions are, however, the leading
features of the play The audience with
one voice declared the entertainment good
one.
EDITOR BLAKE of the Barton Monitor was
at the capital recently. In the course Of a
pleasant article entitled " A Day in Mont
pelirr," he says: Montpelier is not boom
ing in growth, but has steady and healthy
growth in most desirable directions. Many
ordinary houses and cottages are growing
up, while some costly residences are erected
from year to year. The beautiful building
erected by the government is nearly com
pleted, aud 1t is an ornament to the town and
70 nna nf tl,A
ance companies is erecting fine building
-1st west Of the Mutual building which bids
fair to be one OF the best in the section. The
granite business, while it is more rapidly
building up the sister village of Barre, help ps
Montpelier considerably. One of the largest
companies has erected large works here,
and several smaller companies are doing a
good and increasing business The Lane
Manufacturing Company is in "A most thriv-
ing condition. Other manufacturers are
busy with work. The Montpelier DAILY
JOURNAL is having a large patronage at
present, and is better in amount of matter,
news, etc, than heretofore. We are glad To
note its success. The Argus is the ArguS,
year in and year out. Mr.. Atkins is taking
unusual pains to make himself solid with
the democratic members of the legislature.
Needed and marked improvements have
been made on Seminary Hill by the laying
of concrete sidewalks, the planting of trees,
the clearing up and the cleaning up of the
grounds belonging TO the seminary, etc.
The seminary is in prosperous condition.
and is credit to the state and the denom-
nation Montpelier, for small town, has
good reputation in her hotels, and the
Pavilion is well known by most New Eng
landers The Montpelier House has been
put in thorough repair and never appeared
to be better run than at present. Session
years the whole town seems to be turned TO
hosteries aud boarding places. Excellent
accommodations can be found in all direc.
tions."
