The poem chosen was the spirit ed legend of Bregenz, to which Miss Tur- ney did full justice. Songs followed which received their need of praise. Af- bcT Gut CUuCtIbs III "IlfCH GIlG COSiul1GS were of vast antiquity, came tableaux il- frustrating Whittier's poem, 'sThe Witeh's Daughter" The poem was read by Miss Hattie Turney. The part of the s'Witch's Daughter was taken by Miss Anna God frey of Westport and that of her defender by Andrew Turney, while other charac- ters were personated by others.

MUSIC AND THE STAGE.
THE CHORAL CONCERT.

We have reason to believe that the people of this town, and to some extent of adjoining towns, will take practical interest in this coming event. First of all we want people to encourage every effort which looks toward a general mu- sical education. "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" Musical cul- ture, without any doubt, promotes health and happiness. It pays. We need it in the church and in the home and in the school.
 The object of this choral work is so- cial enjoyment and musical culture. We invite all the singers in town to join in the festival. It is expectede that all the church choirs in town will have some part in the program, and that all the churches will be benefited directly or in- directly by the success of this united effort.
 To patrons of the Academy in particu- lar we want to say, that in helping on this enterprise you are working for your children and helping yourself.--EO. 0. Wright.

STEPNEY AND VICINITY.
THE cREAMrRY Is THRIvING.

Editor of THE BEE, Newtown Conn :: Dear Sir-Perhaps readers of your excel lent paper would be interested to know whether interest at Stepney creamery still continues. The story is short one. but as Mark Twain would say, ssMighty interesting" We churn every day, and are making nearly half ton per week, printing all of it. and every print is both elegant and delicious. We shall exceed this amount this week. The farmers are finding out that there is money in deal ing with the creamery, and are turning out royalty. The creamery success is a booming, bristling reality. And does the butter sell? Every pound of it, and more orders than we can fill. Is there room yet for more good dairies? Plenty, we are not up to our capacity vet. We want cream. Yours very truly,--T Hollister Sage.
