delightful reception at their home on State

and effect. In the parlor were maidenhair
ferns, with sweet peas and asters; in the
back parlor was clematis, with nasturtiums;
the library was frightened with goldenrod
and marigolds, while the dining-room was
filled with ferns, lilies and asters. The
chandeliers were trimmed with either hops

adorned with the latter. Candles burned
in the candelabra of the dining-room. Dr.

THE concert Of the Brown University
quartette and banjo and mandolin clubs at
the Opera-house, Saturday evening, was
perhaps the best of the kind that was ever
heard in Montpelier, There certainly was
a variety and snap to the entertainment
that are seldom seen. The selections were
rendered with precision and smoothness
which testified to the careful training tO
which the members of the clubs had sub.
! jected themselves. The efforts of the latter
were rewarded with liberal applause, and
the extreme satisfaction of everyone pres.
ent was evident. The whistling of Mr.
Taylor and the yodling of Mr.. Llewellyr
were particularly pleasing, but it is hard to
discriminate when every selection was sc
good. The club on Sunday took charge oi
the music at Bethany church, both morn
ing and evening" and large congregations
were present at both services. Beside:
quartet singing, there was a solo by Mr.
! Llwellyn in the morning, and in the even
| ing Mr.. Chamberlin sang solo. After the
regular service several selections were rem
dered by Mrs. Boyden of New Haven
Z )nn., who sang two solos, Mr., Hopkins
Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs and the Brown quar-
tette The large audience enjoyed this
short concert exceedingly.
