The attendance at the lecture on the
Worlds Fair, given by Mr.. Robbins OF
Brattleboro, was smaller than this class
of entertainment deserves, but those who
did attend were given a treat which they
could not get any other way than by at
tending the fair. Mr.. Robbins is young
man of ability, and having spent three
months at the fair is well qualified to speak
upon this subject The lecture is illus
trated by over 100 stereopticon views.
An unpleasant reminder of the recent
Brattleboro Lynch case occurred Tuesday,
when two men, one from Alstead and the
other from Charlestown, drove into town
in a craZy-drunken state, numerically
beating their poor horse. Such scenes a:
this can not be tolerated in our town and
Constable wilkins was prompt to lodge the
fellows in the lookup. They were tried
before Justice Kimball and fined, one, in
Guiding costs, S14, and the other SIT, and
released Wednesday morning.
This paragraph of local interest come:
from Wnnebago Oily, Mimi: Z" Mrs
Farley and Miss Walkup, after enjoying
their visit to the Worlds Fair, and taking
in everything possible in the time they
had to spend there, have both arrived al
their destination in good health and spirits
Mr.. Walkup is pleasantly situated in this
thriving little city of Winnebago and i:
doing well. Miss Walkup wishes many
more than will probably think it possible

= of them avail themselves of this advan
taee."
