The failure Of Col. Copeland to fill

The failure of Col. Copeland to fill
his engagement here was great disap-
pointment to the managers and the pub
lie as WELL An effort is now being made
to either secure him later or substitute
some one equally satisfactory, and to
that end correspondence is now bsing
held, with prospects ofsuccess. Holders
oftickets may have their money refunded
by surrendering their tickets to L. M.
Bunnell, if they desire, but most OF them
will doubtless prefer waiting few days
to see if some arrangements can be made
whereby they will receive full value for
them as admission tickets. No fault. of
course, attaches to those who were in
terested in securing Col. Copeland, and
at best they will suffer considerable pecu-
MARY loss. Give them a chance to get
out even by securing good substitute.

After the first of March the firm of Fl.
F Alden & Co. will cease to exist. and
H. F. Alden will assume proprietorship
and control of the business alone, he hav-
ing purchased the interest of his partner,
r. T. Greene, to take effect on the date
above specified. Mr.. Alden came here
nearly FIVE years ago, first as an employe
of Mr.. Greene. and it was then agreed
between them that Mr.. Alden should
have the privilege of purchasing part
or all OF the business. whenever he chose
to do so, and it is in the exercise OF that
option that the transfer was made.
While both members of the firm
are 10th to sever their profitable busi-
ness relations, which have been not only
intimate but pleasant, yet they felt that
the time was opportune for carrying out
thei- long agreed upon plan.
Mr.. Alden will remain where he is for
the present, but expects to remove across
the street into the Perkins building when
spring fairly opens. The firm has done
an excellent business, building up an en-
yiable reputation, and Mr.. Alden sue
ceeds to that which is not at all expert
mental. He is fine workman, good
salesman, the soul of honor and rising
young business man in whom the com
munity has unlimited confidence. He
will carry with him the good will OF the
new firm, earned by enterprise, fair deal
ing and suayity.

The Literary Society.

A very pleasant meeting of the literary
society was held on Tuesday evening
last at the hospitable home of DR.. ]. M.
McMasters, over fifty being present. The
musical feature of the program was very
enjoyable, consisting OF vocal and in
strumental music. The male quartet,
Messrs. Woodley. Rich, Mann an5 Bish-
OPP rendered two selections. Mrs. Miner
and Messrs. Rich and Bishop sang a
trio, Prof. Woodiey solo, Misses Nc
Neice and McMasters executed piano
duet, and Miss McNeice piano solo.
The pronouncing contest was a novel
ty and very enjoyable. To each of those
present was given slip OF paper and a
pencil. Fifty words were selected and
the spelling dictated, each one writing
the word. The words were then cor
rectly pronounced and each one checked
the word which lie or she would haye
Inexperienced if called upon. There
were forty-nine lists, the average of er-
rors being sixteen. There were two
prizes awarded-for the greatest and
least number of errors. Mr.. Lamb won
the first prize with score of thirty zone
errors, and Mr.. Whipple the second, with
only one error. Outside of about FIVE
exceptionally correct papers, the average
was about twenty errors. The contest
elected no little surprise and disap-
pointment OH the part of several good
orthoepists, but as re-announced, there
was no appeal from the authority used,
Prot. Abernethy, OF Brooklyn.
Mr.. Whipple laid no claim to the prize,
and the result placed him in false posi-
tiou. While there was bxt a single error
checked on his list. it was because he did
not July comprehend the nature of the
contest. He made no effort to keep tally
of his errors as he had not any idea-in
fact no one had until the prizes were
awarde1-that any were to be given
This explanation is made in his behalf
as he felt that not only was he unw1t
tingly placed in false light, but he does
not like to appear to claim an honor
which he lays no claim. The next low
est on the list were Nos. % and 26 which
which had three errors each-Misse:
| Ramsdell and Kells.
The next meeting will be held at tn,
Congregational church library on Mon
| day evening next, when DIR. Dubois will
read paper on Daniel Webster.

A True Lent.

a True Lent 5
Is this fast, to keep
The larder lean,
And clean
From fat of veals and sheep?
is it to quit the dish
of flesh. yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish?
Is it to fast an hour,
Or ragged to go,
Or show
A downcast look, and sour?
No tits fast to dole
Thy sheaf of wheat,
And meat,
Unto the hungry soul.
1t is to fast from strife,
From old debate
And hate;
To circumcise thy life.
To show heart grief-rent;
To starye thy sin,
Not bin;
And that's to keep thy Lent.
