An extra town meeting has been called
for Friday, March 81, to elect third lister
in place OF John Hopkins, who declines to
serve. At the annual meeting Mr.. Hop
kins stated positively that he would not
serve, but was elected. He still insists that
he meant what he said
At parish meeting OF st. Mary's church.
held last Wednesday evening at the savings
bank, the resignation Of Rev. Homer White
was accepted to take effect Easter Sunday.
The question as to who Mr.. Whites sue
cessor would be was fully discussed, but no
definite action was taken.
Candidates for the post office are becom-
ing more numerous as the days go, and
several additions to the list of racers
namely, Henry Kenyon, ID. B. Wooster,
and Ferd Houston have been scoring up of
year to serve before his commission ex-
pires, and, judging from present appear
ances, he will be allowed to serve out his
time.
The following, clipped from an exchange,
will be of interest to very many people in
Northfeld AT the annual meeting of the
Society of the Nineteenth Army Corps, held
in New York City, Colonel William G.
Holbrook of the Seventh regiment veteran
volunteers was unanimously elected presi-
dent for the year ensuing. This honor to a
distinguished officer of this state is most
pleasing to the Vermont soldiers, not only
to those who reside in the Green Mountain
state, but throughout the country"
Mrs. Jacob Flanders died last Wednes-
day at the home of her daughter in Salem,
N. H., after very brief illness, aged sew
enty-seven years. Her remains were
brought to Mortified last Friday and flu
neral services were held at the home of Mrs.
Allen, her sister, Rev. Sylvester Donaldson
officiating. The burial was in Elmwood
NJ 4
to Salem last fall, since which time Mr..
Flanders has been in very poor health. His
mind is quite feeble, so much so that he
does not realize his loss.
The st. Patrck's day celebration in Con-
cert hall last Friday evening was a decided
success. Supper was served to over $50
persons and an audience of 400 gathered to
enjoy the exercises Cadet Carleton played
flute solo, with piano accompaniment by
Cadet Bennett The Norwich University
quartette, and Misses Hattie Evans, Katie
Flood and Agnes M. Dooley furnished ex-
cellent vocal music, and the one-act farce,
In the Wrong House," was successfully
presented. Miss Dooley was the pianist
for the evening. Father Donahue, who
was instrumental in getting up the affair,
and all who took part have reason to con-
graduate themselves upon its unqualified
success.
While the attendance at the musical con-
vention held last week in Armory hall was
not as large as had been hoped, it was a
successful and profitable two days gather
ing for the local musicians, and for those
from outside who were present. The prin-
cipal interest to the people of Northtield
centered in the grand concert Wednesday
evening, and, had it not been for the exc
cradle walking, the hall would doubtless
have been filed. Professor Gale again
demonstrated that he is a conductor in
Snmptlinn QpS
giving ample evidence of the patient labor
that had been put into them. The sooists
of the evening included Mr.. Young of the
fremont Theater Orchestra, Boston (vio-
lin), f. w. Bancroft of Montpelier, Mrs.
Gale j. w. Jones of Burlington and Miss
Minnie Wheeler of wiuooski (vocalists).
Professor NJ III. Eddy of st. Johnsbury Off
ciated as organist with Misses Carrie Cush-
man and Anna Langdon as accompanies.
To their intelligent work a large share of
the success Of the chorus work was due.
The duet by Miss Renoi and Mrs. Montana
was one of the pleasing features OF the pro-
gramme. Miss Wheeler made favorable
impression from the start and charmed her
hearers as we'll by the simplicity of her
manner as by her sweet voice and admir-
able phrasing. The solo work of Mr. Ban
croft in the chorus Holy, Holy, Lord God
in The Redemption" was what might
have been expected by those who knew the
efficient and finished work these musical
artists are capable of rendering. The hour
was late when the end of the programme
was reached, as every soloist generously re-
sponded to an encore, but the audience had
no appearance of WEAKNESS.
