won an enviable reputation as a good
citizen, faithful pastor and an excel

BY some oversight no mention has
been made of the concert gwen Feb. by
the Apollo Quintet club of Middlebury

| those who were fortunate enough to be
present are enthusiastic in praise of the
performance, considering it one of the
most meritOrous musical and recitative
events ever heard in this town. We feel
certain that if they should come here
again they would be heartily welcomed.

to make it success, and this event was
no exception. The parts we're well
taken. and as whole it was fine speci-
men of amateur work OF all the char
acters represented, the most interesting
was, perhaps, that of Mother Carey,
who was persOnated by Miss Jessie Col
Inns in manner which left little to be
desired in the way Of perfect rendering.
The other characters were almost equally
well taken, showing much skill and
study on the part of the performers,
some of whom have seldom appeared in
so public manner.
