Vermont Weekly Trade Report

In some respects conditions affecting
retail trade have not improved during
the week according to Bradstreets.
Roads are still in bad shape, and the
weather is variable. Practically no sap
has been secured from maple trees, al
though farmers are well prepared to care
for the flow as soon as the warm days
come.
Manufacturers are moderately busy
but there appears to. be a disposition
among men of affairs in all lines to
await business developments throughout
the country before extending operations,
but hopeful feeling is abroad and the
conservatism shown is regarded as an
indication of strength rather than other
wise.
The water situation is greatly relieved
and prospects of trouble from ice in
swollen streams is daily lessenlng as the
season advances.
Labor is fairly employed except in a
few places where local industries are
quiet

ST. Patrick's Evening Entertain :
ment.

The attractive drama, "Among the
Breakers, which was presented by the
young people of st. Mary's parish on
the evening of March H. was an un-
qualified success, both as regards the
finances and also the manner in which
the play was presented, each individual
acting his or her part so exceedingly
well that frequent applause rewarded
their efforts during the play, and ex-
pressions of pleasure were heard on all
sides at its conclusion. The good repu-
tation of the amateurs was fully sus-
tanned, as was to have been expected.
AS a rare treat the audience, which,
by the way, crowded the hall to over
flowing, was privileged to listen to the
well and favorably known soprano solo
list, Mrs. Carolyn Haufer- o. Brien, of
Boston, who rendered several selections
in such finished and artistic manner
as to reflect the greatest credit on the
talented lady who so graciously gave her
services for the greater success of the
evenings entertainment.
The Middlebury orchestra furnished
the instrumental music of the evening;
and the only regret was that the length
of the dramatic programme was such as
to necessitate a shortening of the con-
cert which had been prepared for the
event.
The ladies of the parish, with their
usual foresight and zeal, had prepared a
dinner in the lower hall more for the
convenience of visitors than for the
material profit, as the quality of the
meal was far out of proportion to the
small sum charged for tickets. The
dinner, however, brought good sum to
swell the evenings receipts, which
amounted to a little over 5000 which
sum is to be used for the benefit of the
new st. Mary's church.

were overtaken by a thunderstorm.

After the start ON a pleasant morn

they got to the pass they encountered
severe storm of wind, snow and hail.
They quickly turned to descend. The
snow fell so heavily; that for time
they could not see their old tracks.
