ALTHOUGH Rob Roy" to be produced
next Saturday evening at Blanchard Opera
House, is Scottish opera, the local color
has been laid on sparingly so as not to be-
wilder American audiences with unfamiliar
dialect and costumes The music is tuneful
and catchy, and the succession of stage pic
lures afforded by the rich beauty of the con-
trasting Scotch plaids is brilliant and ef-
fective.
ONE of the attractions of Easter tide is the
show window OF the jewelry store of G. II.

profusion over this background are mount
ed diamonds, emeralds and rubies, and the
medal won by the team from the Montpelier
Gun Club at Burlington last Friday.

T. e. CALLAHAN, the postman, received
severe electric shock last Saturday morning
while collecting mail from the box on Bailey
Avenue, which Is attached to an electric
light pole. The current was strong enough
to burn his glove, and it is no exaggeration
to say that Mr.. Callahan was thoroughly
frightened. The continued rain OF Friday
night, causing water to run down the pole,
had probably carried the electric current to
the mail box.

REV. A. II. WEBB, having expressed his
VNyIr tn ar fnr INIT at
the coming session Of the Vermont Confer

cided to ask the Bishop to send to them the
Rev. Andrew Gillies Of White River juno
ton. AS 1t is understood that this appoint
ment would be agreeable to Mr. Gillies and

is probable that it will be made. Mr.. Gill
lies Is scholarly young man Of great energy

tions.

THE steadily-falling rain on Fast Day
prevented most OF those who had intended
visiting neighboring sugar orchards from
doing 80, and the fact that the opening exer-
cises of the dedication OF the Young Mems
Christian Association occurred in Trinity
church that evening accounted for the fact
that no union Fast Day service was held in
the morning, as is customary. The banks
were closed all day and most Of the stores
and offices closed their doors after dinner.
About twenty-five people braved the storm
to attend the annual Fast Day sugar party
given by N. @. Tabor and the day was
pleasantly passed at his home.
