OF the lecture of f. w. Bancroft at st. AL
bans on Wednesday evening of last week,
the Messenger says: =" The audience evil
denced thorough delight with the enter
tainment by hearty applause, and at its
close only words of praise were heard, and
the quality of Mr.. Bancroft's voice received
deserved commendation." Mr.. Bancroft
lectured at Brattleboro last night, and dur
ing the remainder of the week he will at
tend the choir festival at Bellows Falls.
THE Montpelier granite-cutters and the
manufacturers met through committees, on
Monday, to consider the proposition agreed
to at Quincy. The cutters committee
agreed to the three principal provisions OF
that proposition-that bills of prices termi-
nate on March 1, that there be no discrimi-
nation against non-union men, and that
there be no limit set to the number OF ap-
prentices In the evening, however, the
Montpelier branch of the union refused to
endorse the committees action, and mat
! ters are thus in Stdtu quo.
FERDINAND DEWEY of Boston, who has
! been the guest of Professor Blanpied, gave
delightful recital before the music stu
dents of the Seminary, Monday evening.
| He prefaced his recital with some valuable
hints on methods of practice, which the
students thoroughly enjoyed and which
will prove valuable in their work His
programme included both classic and mod
ern composers. The students seemed to
enjoy very particularly a piece OF his own
composition, " The Night Hath Thousand
Eyes" which has been made familiar
to the public through Mr.. Perry's beauti-
full rendering.
MRs. A. o. CUMMINs gave a most inter.
| aat avhihitiOn q har hOmp last Friday
afternoon, of French china ware, painted
and finished by herself. A table containing
over fifty samples TO be sent to a dealer in
Worcester was greatly admired by those
who called In this collection were vases,
brush and comb trays, bread, butter, cake
and bon-bon dishes. All were exquisitely
decorated, and there was great variety in
the designs. In addition to the pieces on
the table were many others, the most no.
ticeable Of which was dainty tete-a-tete
set. Mrs. Cummins " fires " her own work,
having kiln of her own, and certainly 1t
is work Of which she may well be proud
IT is perhaps not understood by all that
simultaneously with the dedicatory exer-
cises at the Worlds Fair buildings at Chi
cago, October 81, patriotic exercises are to
be held throughout the country, with the
public schools as the chief participants. 1t
is most appropriate and commendable
idea, for which, we believe, the country is
indebted to that best Of papers for the
young, the Youths Companion. The COM
missioner of education has issued an ad-
dress in which he urges all who are inter
ested in education to cooperate heartily in
the movement. 1t is expected that in
Montpelier there will be a celebration
worthy of the capital of the state. A com
mittee of the board Of education was ap
pointed some time ago to take the matter
in hand. 1t is hoped that the people OF
! the village, as well as the schools, will joir
in whatever programme may be arranged
. The national committee has prepared {
O.. suitable order of exercises, which the
, schools throughout the country will prob
ably accept
