SOUTH BRITAIN.
THE MUSICAL sERENADE.

The inhabitants of South Britain
 were startled, last Thursday evening,
 by tremendous noise which, at first they thought proceeded from steam calliope, but which upon investigation proved to have been made by the ''cal- lithumpion band', composed of the following artisteS: "Jack" Pierce, first cornetiSt; o. Luf, bass drum; Indiana Bill, tenor drum; 36 inch Tommy cym- bals; Arthur Wall, alto horn; Louis Stillson, solo dishpan, etc., etc. The cause of this musical outburst was that the boys were trying to serenade the newly married couple, MT and Mrs Abbot, at the home of w. E. Mitchell. After marching around the house in true military style few times, play ing Thomas De Cat, and The Frog in the We'll, they were somewhat disap- pointed when informed by MT Mitchell that the couple they were trying to serenade had departed on a carriage ride to Middlebury, previous to their arrival. The boys, after partaking. of light refreshments, generously provid- ed by MT and Mrs Mitchell, silently and SorrOwfully wended their way homeward, mentally reflecting on the amount of cigars they would have to pass out to straighten out the matter.

The Notification Speech.

MIR. Dayis-Sir: We have been ap-
pointed by a most notable convention
as a committee to notify you of your
nomination by the Democracy as
their choice for Vice President of
the United States. We desire to ex-
press the pleasure we feel in having
been selected to perform this duty
and our confidence in you, your faith
fnlness, honesty and wisdom. The
people see in you one of the best pro-
ducts of the best period of American
institutions, a period whose salient
characteristics were local self-govern-
ment, individuality. equal opportunity
and freedom; freedom to work, free
dom to buy and sell. freedom to COM
pete in industrial life resulting in
self-dependence, freedom to develop
as ones own master-and not merely
as the well trained and well managed
industrial servant of another. They
see in you what Oliver Wendell
Holmes said is rare thing. "a self
made man who is yet not proud of
his maker"
Just before leaving home ! said
that l was going to West Virginia,
with some others. to notify you of
your nomination. One of my brothers S
little boys. standing by. said, Uncle
John, he must be mighty big goose
If he hasn't heard of it already" In
certain way, the notification with
which we are charged is perfunctory
and unnecessary, and yet it is well
to- maintain by some degree Of form
ality that respectful observance which
is due ito great events. The nomina-
ton by a great party to the great
office TO which we call you. the Vice
Presidency, carrying with it the duty
or presiding over the Senate of the
United States and the possibility OF
succession to the Presidency. is a
great event.
AS soon as learned that / was,
by resolution OF the convention. TO
