mony produced by the defendant was to
the effect that he met plaintiff in Brattle-
boro village soon after the granting of the
decree of divorce and was told by her that
she did not care for any of the furniture in
question and that he might have the same !;
that he then removed it to another place
but had never refused to give it up; that
he had notified her repeatedly that she
could have the furniture taken by him
whenever she would come to him and ask
for it; that the value of the property taken
by him was not in excess OF 800 The
jury returned verdict tor plaintiff to re-
cover $1S4.62 for which the court granted

A Tribute to Rev. J. II. Reid.

Rev. j. H. Reid, who is to be the pastor
Of the Congregational church in this place,
resigned his pastorate of the church in
Newburyport, Mass, the last OF February.
The account in the Newburyport News
says:
"There were moist eyes and not heart
in the congregation that did not beat re-
sponsive to the sentiments of regret ex-
pressed by the pastor at the thought of
separation Mr.. Reid is one OF
those noble examples of true and sincere
Christian man, whose innermost character
is stamped upon his everyday life; full of
sunshine and compassion, the exemplfca-
ton of his teachings. A man whom to
meet with is to be impressed with, to know
is to like; to know better is to love and
admire and whom it is privilege to call
friend. A man whose very presence is
cheering and uplifting, whose sincerity and
frankness is a marked characteristic; a
faithful servant to his God.
Coupled with the regret felt at the sep
aration, comes feeling of pleasure that
the changed condition promises a larger
field of usefulness for him. He will 90 to
Bellows Falls, Vt, to become the pastor
Of fourishing church in that pleasant and
prosperous New England borough, to
whom Newburyports loss is distinctive
gain. We, who know him here and have
learned to appreciate his worth, both as
citizen and pastor, are confident that his
labors in this new field will be character
lied by that same earnestness Of purpose
that has marked his efforts among u.s."

walls, as well as a part of the south end, and
practically demolishing one-halt of the build
ing, though the machinery was little dam

Saturday Night,

Hoyt & Mckee will send to the opera
house Saturday evening, March 18th, the
greatest New York success of the present
season, Hoyt's "a Stranger in New
York." The comedy will be presented
under the personal direction of the firm.
A company of unusual merit has been
selected specially for the production, which
will be on the same magnificent and beauti-
ful scale as seen in New York, and to make
sure that the public here is given an enter
talnment on high scale of excellence, one
of the members of the firm will remain
constantly with the company. Here is an
instance of where the people outside of the
borders of the metropolis will see comedy
that is absolutely up-to-date. "a Stran-
ger in New York" is not a success of last
season, or of two or three years ago-it is
the one great success of the present year
in New York. Many think that the COM
pany to be seen here will surpass in merit

any Of the other splendid organizations
sent forth by this firm. Otis Harlan, the
laughable "Hot Stuff of Hoyt's "A
Black Sheep" has been withdrawn from
that comedy to appear in the stranger.
William Devere, formerly the editor of the
Tombstone Inscription in "a Black
Sheep" has also been assigned role ii
this new comedy. The scenery is carried
entire, and is an exact duplicate of the
beautiful and expensive production made
in New York City, The costumes are al
costly and new, and it is hardly necessary
to add tor Hoyt comedy that the girl,
are all pretty.
