One who has any special interest in the
growth Of our town must needs keep his
finger on the pulse Of the Barre gra mite
business, the wide world over. Most en-
couraging reports come to us as to the p res
emit and prospective demand for this pa rite
ular granite. With some of the very best
of it within our own township lines, W hose
fault must it be II we don't reap larger
benefits from 1t?
Would it not be an occasion for general
rejoicing if James K Lynde would convert
the room just vacated by the Edison Broth
ers into a suitable public hall for lectures,
concerts, etc? Until our town shall be able
81 replace that monstrosity known as " the
town hall " by building such as any live
town needs, we would that Mr.. Lynde might
do himself and the public a service in the
above direction.

1t was delightful "haf hour" that we
recently passed with Mrs. Oscar F. Davis,
here, in chat upon her musical stay
abroad. Her answer to one of our queries
may have much interest for any who are
considering the matter of expense in OBJ
tanning a musical education in Europe.
Board for herself and little son, in Italy,
cost her twelve dollars per week, and daily
"half-hour lessons" were each five dollars.
Her teacher, Madame Cappianni, is now in
this country, and will remain here two
years. Mrs. Davis expresses to US the opn-
ion that our young townsman, George
Goodrich has in his voice the material for
making a fine singer, with proper develop
ment OF it under com petent teacher.
The Methodist Ladies' Society deserve
high praise for their efforts to give our citi-
zens frst-class entertainment Friday eve,
Oct. IS. Very naturally, the interest in the
| occasion would be expected to center, more
especially, upon the singing of our former
young townswoman, Mrs. Oscar F. Davis,
! nee Miss Anna Dickerman, who went out
from us some ten or twelve years ago, and
who has been having such fine opportuni-
| ties for cultivating her musical talent mean
time Mrs. Davis met we'll the special diff
cllties before her, viz, very poor room in
Wnlcn TO display nor Sklii, anu al duulouCo
in her old home, a large part OF which,
doubtless, would prefer far simpler style
Of music than she is now accustomed to.
Perhaps the gem " OF her songs, during
the evening, would be declared to be, " I've
no little boy for SALE" that followed an
encore. Could Mrs. Davis, as she sang it,,
have seen the tears in the eyes OF one OF
our worthy farmers,-who tips the BEAM
at between two and three hundred pounds,
who was sitting near us, she would have
been amply " cheered " in her beautiful and
artistic effort. AS an accompanst, Mrs.
Minnie Marsh of Montpelier performed her
part admirably. Mrs. Marsh also sang one
song that was we'll received. Piano duets
by Mrs. Lewis Martin and Miss Lulu Burn
| ham, recitations by Miss Emma Adams,
| Mrs. Lewis Martin, and Hattie Metcalf.
and song by George Goodrich, were fol-
lowed by the approval" of the audience.
