n Of
village, died at the home of his nephew,
Preston Skinner, at West Glover, on the
4th inst. Mr.. Skinner has been in poor
health for several years, but for the last
year he has been falling, until his death.
Some years ago he came here bought a
place and moved here. He lived in this
village a few years, until his wife died,
since then he has lived at Barton Landing,
Albany and Glover, staying with relatives
in the several places. Mr.. Skinner was
seventy eight years old at the time OF his
death. He was soldier il the Rebellion,
being member of K, 11th Reg. Vt. Vols.

Christie of Newport officiating, and the
interment was in the village cemetery.
An Uncle Toms Cabin company without
the customary adjuncts, blaring brass
band, ponies, donkeys and other animal
features, is to say the least a novelty, but
when one comes to consider that repu-
table actor will not condescend to parade
the streets in all sorts of weather, it car
readily be seen that in company that EN-
, ploys only actors and actresses that are
! engaged solely to appear in the theatre
the performance must show decided i'm
, provement over the old time representa-
t1ons of the play. Mason Bros this sea-
son are using only CONCERT band on th'
street, giving daily concerts at noon ane
have engaged the strongest acting com
pany ever seen in this, the greatest of al
American plays. Baby Bernadine, littl
child four years old, is a leading membe
of the company, for not only the bright
miss ever seen in the character of Eva, bu
she is the youngest artist to speak intell1
gently the lines of the part. She is also
sweet singer and her specialtles ant
character songs win the hearts nightly o
!. the patrons of this great play. Few,
n |
< by nature to SO wildly portray the lov
s able little parsonage, the sweetest cnll
character ever introduced In a drama o
3 the present or past era. There is not
e man, woman or child who does not lear
o to love this talented baby artist as she
the pet of the ladies nightly. This pla
will be given in Seaver's Opera hall Tues
day evening, August 13.
