| pieces much to Une uel1S1II Vi Ine audience.
She has a melodious voice and renders
both music and words finely. The reader,
| Mr.. s. G. Currier, was great hit and grew
better and better as he was repeatedly
called back. His forte is in the line of the
comic. and he kept his audience in an up
roar of laughter. 1t was the remark of
MANY that they enjoyed the entertainment
better than they did the concerts in the
lecture course given here this winter. Mr.
PiIlsbury, manager, has reason to be proud
of the success of his troupe.
Our item, which appeared in this paper
last week, relative to stove peddIers. seems
to have been launched just at time when
parties who have been selling ranges in
other sections of the State were preparing
to make this the headquarters from which
several peddlers were to start out for
thorough canvass of this part of the coun-
tv in introducing the "Home Comfort"
ranges. There have been from time to
time so many things which have been i'm
positions on the public, that the MONITOR
is suspicious. We may err in opinion or
condemnation, but we shall try to caution
and defend our readers from what threat
ems them harm. It is not necessary to re-
fer to many things, which, in the last
twenty years have deceived the people or
harmed their interests. On the other hand,
we do not wish to do injury to any one who
is doing legitimate business. The parties
who have come here to sell ranges feel hurt
at our item of last week and claim that, so
far as they are concerned, it does not ap
ply to their methods or their goods. They
have asked us to examine their ranges and
we have done so. The stove certainly has
the appearance of being very good one.
The construction seems adapted to quick
and efficient boiling and baking; the ar
rangements are handy all around. The
cast iron parts are heavy and strong, the
iron having been annealed. The steel, which
forms quite part of the stove, adds to it's
good looks and probably its dura bility.
The parties show many testimonials from
people in the State and have endorsements
from several State papers.
