Friday night by Mr.Edward P.Eliott, the

that student OF Shakespeare, Mr.. PitJacus
Greene, whose inimitable drolleries
amused the audience greatly, would alone
reconcile the "olusstn individual TO this
"mo.loS hockery" Of world. In his i'm
pc. sonHtions OF the widely differing char
acters found in the play OF "Hazel Kirke, :"
Mr.. Elliott showed great versatility, and

senator came here under the auspices OF

About 10 O'clock Saturday morning, the
whistles blew the alarm for ire, and in a
moment, the streets were black with peo
Pile, looking anxiously in every direction
for blaze aud feeling sudden revival of
faith in the prophecies OF sleeping Lucy
The Hose company took the lead and pro-
ceeded in double quick time down Wes-
ton street, with the multitude following
in hot pursuit. A high wind blew hats
and leaves about promiscuously and made
the individuals chasing their flying head
gear think with horror of how the sparks
would fly in such gale. Arrived at the
lower end OF Weston street, breathless,
hatless and in generally demoralized
condition, they learned that a chimney in
the house of Joseph Sault had just burned
out, and that there was no immediate
prospect of another disastrous fire. More
than willing for once TO have had this
trouble and excitement without serious
confagration, the crowd turned itself
about, its component parts returned to
their ordinary occupations, and quiet
again reigned within our borders.
Saturday might, Oct. 21st, Mr.. NJ. c.
Robbins, who has spent three months at
NAC ak anu 10 July tDllDtANnL ~ speak
intelligently upon the greatest exposition
of the nineteenth century, will give lee
ture in Dubois d. Gays hall on the
Worlds Columbian Fair. The lecture
will be finely illustrated ty more than 100
stereopticoL v.ers. as large as the hall
will permit, and made by as powerful
calcium light as can be procur d. These
views are from photographs taken during
June and July and embrace all points OF
interest. Ar. Robbins comes here under
the auspices of the Red Men, to wnom the
people Of We. Randolph are indebted tor
the pleasure derived from two Of the best
entertainments that have ever been here
the concert b. the Schubert Quartette
last winter and the play of"Hazel Kirken
last Friday night. This lecture was de |
livered in Brattleboro late Y, and the Re |
former has this to say of it: "After briefly |
reviewing the events which led up to the |
Fair, Mr.. Robbins, who understands his |
subject and tells Just what interests his |
audience most took them on trip through |
the entire Worlds Fair and Midway |
Plaisance, which trip was beautifully Illus
trated by over 100 stereopticon views. The
colored views which were scattered IN
during the evening gave the whole rich.
delicate tone, that it is pleasure to see.
Everyone wishes Mr.. Robbins success, as
it is understood that nearly all of the
eighboring towns will have the priyi-
lege OF hearing him. Those who do not
attend will miss a rare treat.p
The interior decorations of the Christ ian
church and the changes which have been
made in its external appearance have
called forth many admiring comments.
Within, the side walls are of soft neu-
trail tint, having a narrow band little be-
low the center and a wider one next the
ceiling. The background OF the borders
IS delicate shade OF pink, and upon it
are traced symmetrical figures. Overhead, ]
he coiors are lighter, and three immense I
,lrcies-the one in the center being the
he entire space. On the
east side OF the churcn is large circular
sindo% of varl- colored stained glass, and ,
IN the opposite wall appears circle [
IL the same diameter as the window, :
having ia its center cross bearing .
cron with these words: Jesus of Naz-
Iretn." over the cross one reads, "Our =
heo!oeT: Man is a sinner: Christ is y
ayior; and beneath, "W hosoever will. I
nay Come" On either side of the pulpit
penihg are two finely painted TABLETS; +
he one on the left has the cross, radiatipg +
,esms OF light and holding the volume of .
