RIGHT YOU ARE.

The sunshine of last week was im- proved to the utmost extent in Secur- ing the hay crop and harvesting the Oat crop which is the best for several years. It is hoped this will help reduce the unprecedented price which has pre- vailed for some time, due to the cOr- ner of some speculatOrs compelling those obliged to buy to pay soc per or never ought to be again.
 The blight is showing itself more or less decidedly in most crOpsOf potatoes. Ia some pieces the tops are entirely dead, in others only the edges of the leaves have begun to turn black. In any event it means but little more growth of tubers in affected crops Notwithstanding this the crop prom iseS to be good one.
 A. H. Taylor last week dug and sold over 30 bushels of fine tuberS at good prices.

lecture on Mount Vernon by Miss Bas- sett Wooster of Washington, D. c. The hall was well filled with members and their friends. / Worshipful Master Randolph B. Chapman presided. The illustrated lecture on Mount Vernon by Miss Wooster was one of the most interesting features of the evening. The stereopticon slides pictured the home of Washington from many points of view, the interior of the old man. sion, one of the finest and most repre- sentative of it's time, and the grounds surrounding it. Several pictures of the Congressional Library at Washington were shown, accompanied by explana- tory remarks by the lecturer. The building, which is rated as the finest in the country in every respect, was erected at a cost of 5000, ,OOO, and stands alone for it's artistic architec- ture. The construction of the inn meLse building was pictured in detail, giving the spectators very good idea of the famous library.-[ Waterbury Republican, November ', 1901.

LOCAL AFFAIRS. A SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT. LARGE AND FASHIONABLE AUDIENCE GREET HERBERT FLANsBURGH AMI FRIENDS AT THE TOWN HALL.

A large and fashionable audience turned out at the Town hall, Saturday evening, to enjoy the entertainment given by Herbert Flansburgh and friends. It was by all odds the bright est and most successful entertainment ever given in town, and MT Flansburgh has been warmly congratulated on the success of the affair. The program opened with selected songs by Mir Flansburgh,. and he was enthusiaS- tically applauded. It is evident he has lost none of his popularity with New town audiences. Miss Ruby Gerard Braun, violinist, is an artist of the first class. No such violin playing has UrSO played at an entertainment in the Congregational church in 1882. For her first selection she played a Hungarian Rhapsodie by Hauser. On her second appearance she played a "Gavotte Fantastique, a "Nocturne" by Max Braun, and "Molto Perpetus, :" by Bohm. The second selection was especially fine and was rendered in a way that showed the true artist. Joseph Hubbell and s. A. Baldwin acted as accompaniSts.-ln the char acter sketch of an old man, his second number, MT Flansburgh made a de- respond to repeated encores The opening comedy, At a. m." by Miss MacGregor and George Syl- vester was presented in spirited manner. The closing comedy, "A Domestic Experiment, by Miss Mac Gregor and Herbert Flansburgh was also presented with spirit. Newtown people are not often favored with the opportunity of witnessing the per formance of professional talent in their own town and the large audience present showed that MT Flansburgh's enterprise was appreciated. The pro- gram presented was particularly choice and interesting and held the interest of the audience unflagging to the end. Dancing followed the enter tainment.
