The early arrival of spring was
accompanied by the return of the
birds and the robin, bluebird, song
sparrow and ground sparrow have
been here for the past week. These
birds come about two weeks earlier
this year than for the past three or
four years, which is a sure indication
of the early coming of spring.
Aaron Woodruff and his compa-
ny gave good presentation of
"Uncle Hiram at the Opera House
on Tuesday evening last, to fairly
large audience. The explosion scene
and the appearance of a train of cars
on the stage were among the best

leading role is a success.
Summer must be making consid-
cradle headway over in the vicinity

in Vermont.
Our Little Men and Women, and
Babyland, two bright magazines in
which the little people find delight,

bright as ever, and it is evident that
the magazines will be we'll cared for

of that article, he says, dissolved in
a pint of hot water, and drink at in
tervals when cold, is a certain, never
failing remedy.
March has magni6cently main
| tanned, up to date, the lamblike
| characteristics with which she took
up her duties as one of the early
months of the year. Such a March
has seldom, if ever, been known in
this section, and it has been thor
oughly enjoyed. Not even the
croakers who insist that so fine a
spell is only a weather breeder"
have been able to spoil the communi-
tvs enjoyment of so long run of
bal1ny weather.

"A number of persons in this
vicinity who are acquainted with
the cornetist Will A. Darlington will
be interested to learn that Beedle'
Orchestra of Keene, N. H, of which
he is business manager, has been
chosen, in competition with at least
seven other orchestras, to play dur

ton.
