L. o. Emerson, the noted musical con- =
poser, who was mentioned as visiting al
his nephew's, L. B. Chapman's, last week,
is remembered as having held successful
musical cUnVe1tion here some 81 years ago.
In those days B. NJ. Pierce was leading
man in musical circles and to him in large
measure was due the interest in music
here and he was also largely instrumental
in proc, ring Mr.. Emerson at that time
Among those that are remembered as TAX
ing part in that gathering were Mr.. L. Law.
renee of Springfield, Harry Kimball of
Rockingham, the Franklin brothers and
their sister, Jennie Franklin, of Newfane,
Mrs. e. L. Waterman and Mrs. Henry

Gray. A number of relatives from Brat
tleboro called to congratulate them and
wished them % years more of happiness.
They left several reminders of their visit,
among them large wedding cake. We
wish Hinsdale might boast of more people
like DIR. and Mrs. Gray.
The foot ball eleven were to play the
Turner's Falls Athletic club on Taylor's
field last Saturday, but the Turner's Falls
team did not appear, so a scrub team lined
up against the eleven, giving them good
practice. Manager Smith has tried all the
foot ball teams in this vicinity without be-
ing able to get a game as they think Hins-
dale too strong. He tried to get the Brat
tleboros over Saturday, but they claimed
they had not had enough practice. While
they have played five games, Hinsdale
picked up an eleven two weeks ago Satur-
day and went over and played them just
as an accommodation, not knowing until
Saturday at IL o'clock that they were 60
ing to play. Scarcely two men knew the
signals. 1t was the first game they had
played. Manager Smith has written to
some of the large teams in Massachu-
sets, -Fitchburg, Gardner and other
teams in that vcnity,-to see if it is pos
sble for us to get game of foot ball, not
caring how badly the Hnsdale team gets
beaten, if we can only get game. 1t is
hoped that games may be arranged with
the Bratteboros.

LELAND AND GRAY SEMINARY

A handsome new catalogue of Leland
and Gray seminary of Tow nshend, for the
year 1885, has just been printed at The
Phoenix job printing Office. The new
edition is an improvement over that of
1895, especially in the arrangement of
studies and classification of students. The
board of instruction for this year includes
six teachers, the majority of whom have
been educated in the best colleges. The
course of studies has been revised and ex-
tended so that the work can now compare
favorably with that of any irst-class high
school; still the some low prices of tuition
remain as in the past.
The teachers class, just introduced, is
intended to fit students for their vocation
by giving them actual practice work in
teaching, under the direction and super
vision of the principal. This class is COM
posed entirely of students who intend to
become teachers and the Rotations are
placed in charge of the pupils themselves.
The class in current topics, the object
of which is to keep the students informed
in regard to the important events of the
day, has proved decided success and in
creases in number every week. The strong
est proof of the excellent work of the
school under the present management is
shown by the fact that the new catalogue
gives a larger attendance than the academy
has enjoyed for many years.

at West BrattlebOrO Saturday.

Brattleboro AGA Jenny played the first game of
the season on its own grounds Saturday and won
a highly creditable victory over Putney. Putney
won the toss and took the west goal, with the
wind. Fisher kicked the hall well into Putuey
territory, where it was downed. After ineffect-
ual attempts TO advance on end plays the ball
went to B. A. on downs. On the very first play
H. Miller went around left end and by fast sprint
ing out-stripped the Putney PLAYERS and planted
the ball behind the goal posts. Fisher kicked the
goal. Score. B. A., 6; Putney,0 0. Putney kicked
to B. AS three-yard line, where the ball was
downed. By short, steady rushes B. A. carried
the ball to the centre OF the field. Then r. Clark

lodges of Putney backs, ran the length or the
It'll Putney in chase, and scored the second
tUuS..-own. No goal Score, B. A, 10; Putney.
o. During the rest of the first half the ball surged
up and down the field, but resulted in no scoring.
In the second half b. A. started up the field In
lively form by plunges through tackle Blodgett
opening up good holes in Putney's line for the
lost to their opponents. Putney changed tactics.
Its heavy backs messed alternately on the tack
les for steady gains. Before b. A. had learned
to meet this style of play successfully, the ball
had been carried a"ross the line by Allen for a
touchdown. No goal. Score, B. A., 10; Putney,
4. The rest of the half was taken up by short
gains on each side, the ball frequently changing
hands.
For the Brattleboro Academy R. Clark did star
work in tacklng and ground gaining. while A.
Miller made some beautiful runs, For Putney
Aliens line bucking and Blacks tackGng were
the leading features. Putney was strengthened
by Allen, Miller and Perry of the Brattleboros
