THE woMAN's CLUB.


An Evening with Scandinavia and Her
Music at the Annual GentIemSn's
Might.
To the Woman's club the guests of last
Monday evening are greatly indebted for
delightful experience. 1t was gentleman's
night and the husbands and "otherwise"
of the members we're out in force.
The occasion, aside from its pleasing so
cial features, was rendered peculiarly in
teresting and instructive by the presence
of Miss Blanche Rogers and Mrs. Black
more of Boston. Miss Rogers proved her
self a teacher of no mean gifts aud for an
hour and half entertained her auditors
with her brief descriptions OF Norway and
Sweden, and especially with her analysis
and descriptions of the music, past and
present, of that northland.
There was evidence of prolonged and
careful research in her tracing OF the his
tory of music in that far-of country. The
beginnings, as in all countries, were crude
in the extreme, and the vocal as well as
the instrumental tones of this interesting
people were in the minor key
There are very marked divergences in
the trend of their musical ideas, and as
Miss Rogers progressed in her very inter-
esting address, these peculiarties were
very plainly and forcibly illustrated. AT
frequent intervals Miss Rogers stepped to
the piano and, either standing or sitting,
as occasion required, demonstrated the
propositions laid down in her lecture.
Not only so, but Mrs. Louise Ralne
Blackmore, the gifted soprano, in most
attractive manner, by song recital, reen-
forced the speaker, and added not little
to the pleasure of the evening. Mrs.
Blackmore is gifted with soprano voice
of rare sweetness and culture, and evlnced
an intelligent grasp of the scandinavian
musical mind, which one must go far to
find.
The selections by Greig, Kjerof and
other less familiar composers were delight
fully rendered. We can well understand
that Miss Rogers is an enthusiast in the
lore, musical and otherwise, of the differ
ent nationalities, and it is to be hoped that
Brattleboro may have further and larger
opportunity for hearing her instructive
expositions. Mrs. Blackmore too, in her
musical career, has made careful study OF
the songs of the nations and in song re-
citals has been very favorably received.
At the close of the "feast of reason" and
music, the club and guests to the number
of so repaired to the Brooks House ban
quoting room and were Toasted with deli
cate mOrsels for an hour or more, with the
added pleasure of music rendered by Miss
Cox's mandolin club, for which the guests
were, we trust, properly thankful.

Head Crushed with an Axe.

Charles Manning of Eden is in a
critical condition from a fractured
skull. The injury was inflicted Mon
day night, when he returned from
Morrisville, somewhat under the in
fiuence of liquor, after trading horses.
His twelve year old son tells con-
fiicting stories, and the authorities
believe an attempt may have been
made to murder Manning, and they
are making an investigation. The boy
summoned help from Wyatt Hurl-
burd, a neighbor, after Manning was
injured. 1t is alleged that Hurlburd
went to the house, and took the boy
back with him, but did nothing for
the injured man, who was lying on
the floor. and who received no atten.
ton until morning. Physicians re.
moved 10 pieces Of bone from Man.

Fire in the Methodist Parsonage.

FIRE IN the MetnoulSt parsonage
The Methodist parsonage came near
being destroyed by fire on Monday
last. The alarm was sounded at
about 11.30 a. m, and soon the hose
was laid from the mill and two or
three streams were playing upon the
fire. The blaze was caused from
ashes, which were in a box upon the
piazza. The fire had worked it's way
into the barn and also into the l. part
and would have been beyond control
in a short time. The roofs were well
covered with snow and this served to
confine the flames. The wind was
blowing furiously and had the fire OBJ
tanned advantage the result might have
been very disastrous. The loss is
bout 5000. The property was insured
in the Vermont Mutual by c. NJ. Rus
