THE Troy Press of Tuesday says:
miss Fanny Magivny, formerly organist
of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church
and now organist of a prominent Brook
ly church, is visiting her parents in this
city. Miss Magivny ranks high in must
cal circles and is considered one of the
best organists in the City of Churches"
The evening before the Second Congrega-
tiOnal church in this village was dedi-
Gated, as our readers will some of thom
recall, Miss Magivny gave recital on
the large organ in that edifice.
THE programme for the County Con-
ference of Congregational Churches,
has been issued This meeting is to be
held in Peru, June and 8.next. On the
order of exercises we note as having
parts: Sermon by the Rev. NJ. L. Sew
erance in the afternoon of the first day;
the Women's Home Missionary meeting,
led by Miss Anna C. Park; the second
day, the Rev. @. H. Peck, speaks on
1.-THE church and Sunday school work."
Mrs. G. H. Peck on 1.-THE church in its
care of its Children;" and the Rev. Chas.
r. Seymour on 1.-THE church related to
the social life of the community"
The talk about the injury to the Bat
tie Monument is premature. There is
nothing new in what is alleged to have
been lately discovered. A year ago
last fall visitor noticed that there was
a check in one or two stones, but it took
close scrutiny to find them, and being
acquainted with building operations this
gentleman told one of our citizens that
there was no defect amounting to any
thing. Probably any wall would dis
close the same state of affairs if closely
scanned. So it is safe to say that our
monument is not injured, and none of
the stones are "crumbling," as an ex-
change historically states. The Monu-
ment would stand if the whole face were
taken off, or vice versa.
AT the annual meeting of the Vermont
Commandery of the Loyal Legion, held
in Burlington Tuesday evening, Gen.
Oliver Otis Howard. u. S. A., was an
honored guest and the banquet and re-
ception was in his honor. In attendance
from Bennington was Maj. A. B. Valen-
tine and daughter, Jennie. The Free
Press says: "The fact that Gen. How
ard was to be present at the annual
meeting and banquet of the Vermont
Commandery of the Military Order of
the Loyal Legion of the United States,
served to draw ont large attendance of
members from all parts of the State and
it was distinguished party that as
sembled at The Van Ness house. Gen.
H I1!ts Is inc LanAlls ollcGr ol c w.
Schofield. commanding the army. lie
is a native of Maine, and graduated from
West Point in 1870"
TIE Glens Falls Star calls attention to
the fact that Miss Bailey of Middle Gran
vile, is the only teacher in Northern
New York whose vote on the n. Y. Sun
day PIesss Chicago excursion for 80
teachers to the Worlds fair, promises
success. Miss Bailey's vote is nearly
G0O0. We call attention to the fact that
Miss Mary Shackshober's vote is about
that figure and add the words of the Star
in Miss Bailey's case: THE Press as
the Star has heretofore stated, offers to
furnish free transportation to the
Worlds fair to the twenty school teach
ers who should receive the largest num-
Der of votes cut from its Sunday edition.
Up to n few weeks ago Miss Bailey was
the thirteenth in the list. Her friends
hope that she may yet secure votes
enough to bring her within the lucky
number. She is the only conpetto +
north of Troy, and large number
from this section of the state have there
fore interested themselves in her behalf.
Miss Bailey has already received num-
Der of votes through the instrumentality
of the Star. The contest will close on
the Is inst, and the result will be an
nounced June Az The ''20'' is outside
the cities of New York and Brooklyn.
Miss Shachshober has stood 4th and 9TH
and second on the list nearly all the
time, and let the Vermont subscribers
of the Sunday Press now combine and
send our fair Arlin ton teacher as one Of
the twenty.
