pany near Pride's bridge, soon to be
opened to the public. The theatre is a
decided novelty in this part of the
country. The stage is built upon the
lower part Of the slope, near the river
facing up the hill, aud the seats are ar
ranged in an amphitheatre out of doors.
Everything about the theatre stage, seats
and all is built in rustic style, as near
the nature as it is possible to have any
thing of the kind. A fine view of the
stage is obtained from every seat. The
sensation of sitting in rustic seat in the
cool shade Of Riverton and witnessing a
performance with the beautiful Landscape
and swiftly flowing river in the prospeo-
tive. will be decidedly novel one.
The performances too, will be an en-
tirely new thing, and will comprise many

is that they are entirely free, no admis-

states. The fishing is excellent both in
the lake and in Wilson and Rum ponds,
trout weighing from one to five pounds
being plentiful. While all parts of the
lake have desirable points for fine catoh-
es this locality at the foot of the lake,
at the terminus of the B. & A. r. H.. :,
which has three trains daily to and from
Boston and on the line of the @. p. R.,
with several connections each way from
the east and west, seems to be growing
in favor each year. The trout are report
ed to be very gamey this season.
Commissioner Oaks says that the black
game are singing away beautifully in
their forests near New Sweden. So beau
tifully in fact one of the Swedes who
resides there informed him few days
ago that many of the residents get up
early just to hear them sing.
The birds sing their prettiest at be-
tween daylight and sunrise and it de-
lights the ear Of the appreciative people.
A great immigration of Swedes from all
round to that locality is not at all i'm
probable as the song has power to attract
from Efar and near all those who have
once lived under its influence.
