WILL CARLETON.
The following telegram received
Tuesday. afternoon explains itself:
BROOKLYN. n. Y, Sept. %, 1897.
We are obliged to postpone date of viii
Carleton's lecture. Letter follows.
GLOBE LYCEUM BUREAU.
Will Carleton will not appear at any
of the various dates advertised. After
all the pains taken to secure this tai
ented lecturer by the executive COM
mittee of the Tenney Library the re-
suits are disappointing and humiliat-
ing. VIII Carleton is not in fault no
more is the committee who had the
matter in charge, it remains to be seen
how the Globe Lyceum Bureau will
explain matters. This Bureau has
charge of Mr.. Carleton's engagements.
We will publish the whole correspond
ence next week and then the public
may judge.
DR.. Atwood is spending the week
with her brother, H. M. Buxton, in
Bradford.
A couple of middle aged people from
Brooklyn, n. Y, making a tour of New
England on bicycles, called on Town
Clerk Silsby and then on ParsOn Mer-
rill, had their fortunes cemented and
went on their way rejoicing.
DR.. R. H. Allyn, nearly ninety years
of age, is visiting in town with head
quarters at A. A. Olmsted's.
Hon. Alden Spear and wife of Bos-
ton made a short visit in town this
week. Mr.. Spear was student at the
old Seminary about fifty years ago.
He probably found more familiar land
marks than faces after an absence of
half century. Mr.. Spear should be
gratefully remembered in Orange Co.
for what he has done for her shire town.
Have you visited the public library and
town hall in Chelsea, If so you will re-
member Alden Spear.
We always have much pleasure in
publishing the advancement of our
home boys and often take the liberty
of reaching out into neighbOring towns
when an unusually good thing presents
itself. Charles X. Darling, son of Hon.
J. X. Darling well-known in Orange
county, was born in COrinth, June %,
1864. He is graduate of Dartmouth
and is practicing lawyer in Boston,
and at present is editing state publ
cation, early Laws of Massachusetts,"
an important work. At the recent Ma
tiOnal Encampment of the Sons of Vet
Grams held in Indianapolis he was chos-
en- commander. Orange county is war
ranted in feeling proud and extending
congratulations Charles X. is broth
er of Hale K, our present states attor-
ney. Our friend and colleague may be
pardoned if he is proud of such a pair
of boys.
The service at the NJ. E. church next

next week for Steubenville, Ohio, to
