THE "service of song" at the Church of
the Messiah, Sunday evening, was, as
usual, OF high merit musically and very in
terestiDg to the large number of persons
present. DIR. A. b. Bisbee sang in the
choir in the morning, as well as at the
evening service, and his rich voice contrib
uted much to the pleasure of the auditors.
The duet of Mrs. Willard and Mr.. Bancroft,
and the final quartette selection were es-
| pecially fine. A number of hymns were
sung by the congrec alton, and Mr.. Wright
spoke upon the subject of prayer his re-
marks being interspersed with music.
The Burlington Independent compassion
ately says that the WATCHMAN in recent
issue made virulent attack upon Editor
Atkins" and the latter reproduces his con-
| temporary's sympathetic words. Well, the
WATcHMAN's attack" was not quite so
" "viruent " as the one the Independents s
present editor, according to local tradition,
once made upon the Argus editor when the
twain sustained the relation of employer
and employe. The attack" " was some
| what reciprocal and the virulence" mu-
tual, but the apprentice it is said was not
the under dog in the fight, and this is very
much to his credit.
RUTLAND is to have hospital, Secretary
Proctor and his son, Fletcher D., having
given the Ripley homestead to be used for
that purpose for five years, on condition
that $1,000 be raised annually during that
period. The secretary himself gives one
fourth of that sum, and the remainder is
being raised. Brattleboro also is talking of
hospital. This subject has been some
what discussed in this community. There
is need of hospital, and the need is grow
ing year by year with the growth of local
| industries and the increase of the laboring
class. The project deserves early and Sc
rious consideration.
