The lower story in 10 feet in the clear, and the upper story, which form the hall proper, is 1 1 feet in the clear. In front is au entrance annex, 11 by JI feel, which gives place for a vestibule and for stair ways leading to the main hall. On the first Moor is what will be known as the "lower hall," a room of suitable size for social pur poses, with a selectmen's room, cloak room, kitchen, toilet room and closet. In con nection with the selectmen's loom in a lire proof vault, for the storage of such records ami documents of historical or antiquarian interest ai cannot be given room in the town's safe. The town hall proper in the si', ou the Moor, of the mam building, with a broad stage or platform at the further end.

It is well liglited, (Ininhed in ash, and presents cheerful, attractive appearance It is an audience room in which the people of Vetminster mnv well feel a just pride, and which they wiil find a perpetual com fort and pleasure Over the entrance doors of the buiMing is a beautiful stained glass window, which was tho gift of II. llol ton of liurlington and 1). O. Wiley of Detroit, both sons of Westminster. The original design for the building was furnished by Architect Wentworth of lion ton, though his plans were modified to bring the outlay within the town's appropriation.

The contractor and builder was II A Wil lard of Westminster, and it is evident that his work has been done not only with abil ity, but with a conscience. It whs pleanant to hear on WVdnevday evening the uuiver sal expressions of approval of his work, of pruiso of his faithfulness and fidelity, and of assurance that no other man could have undertaken to give the town so much for its money. The cost of tho building as it now- stands, with the cupola, which was not included in the original contract or ap propriation. has lneu JUKMl. The building committee, under win in general direction the work has been done, are II.

The weather ou Wednowlty as not of tho most propitious character A linht sprinkling of snow camo just at night to etui c.oudy threatening day, and the roads were as deep with mud and as rough with "hubbies" as this "phenomenal win ter" could make them, but in Mute of all this, half past seven in the evenine found the hull literally packed.

Kverv seat and every foot of standing room was taken, and many were unable to gam even admittance. Several delegations of ItW lows Kails residents showed their intei t-it by their presence. On the platform, be sides the selectmen (A K. Hrigham, 4 (J Itichurdvin and.) It. Minanl), the builder, the building committee, and others who had a part in the exercises, were vela! of the oldeht Westminster residents.

The Keene Orchestral society ened the i exercises with a bit of stirring music, Hev. 0. W. Thompson imoked the Divine bless- 1 ing, and then Hon. M.

V. Davis, the chair- i man of tho evening, gave a cordial welcome to tho assembled company, stated the object which had brought them together, al luded felicitously Ut the anniversary day chosen for the dedication the of the battle of New Orleans and urged that the new building be devoted to better ami higher aims, and to the moral, social and (political upouiiiJiug oi tne com mutiny, eiHHtaliy of the young. Contractor Willard, in preheiiting the new building to tho building committee, said that the fact that he was a lineal descendant, three generations removed, from the generation that caused the old church to le built, hail much to do with impelling him to undertake the erection of the new building. It had leen his honest endeavor to so build that a hundred ears to come, should Providence so will, might find the building standing htrong ami sound. He alluded pleasantly to the way in which the chairman of the building committee, a man busy and earnest with his ow ii alTairs, had ''happily disappointed" him with the time, diligence aud faithfulness which he had given to tho work, and closed with impress ive words, voicing his high hopes of what the new building may do for the community, and trusting mot of all that tho young might never hear within its walls that which would make other than wiser and better men and women.

B. K. Atcherson, the chairman of tho building committee, thus pleasantly intro duced, said the committee, entered upon this trust with the wish, first of all, to make the building satisfactory to the town. They were fortunate in tecuring Mr Willard as the builder, and he wNhed to testify pub Hcly to the faithful, painstaking character of Mr. Willard's work.

He wished, also, to signify tho committee's acceptance of this work, aud he hoped and trusted it might stand through generations to come. Mr. Atcherson closed by presenting the keya to Mr Richardson, of the Iwnrd of se Iectmen. Mr. Hichardson't.

spuech was few in words, hut it was one of the bright, crisp things of the evening. He taid lie felt as if he had been served as tho old church was as if he had been struck by lightning Mr. Hrigham, the chairman of the bo-ird of selectmen, had beu compelled by illness to leave the hut and the unexpected duty of 1 leaking in Mr. Itrighaur place had fallen upon him This building could have been erected by no other man for the money which Mr. Wilhrd had put into it Ho con gratulated tho town on having such a build ing to which all muy come for social and other gatherings.

Kvery citizen had felt an interest in the work, and it is now turn ed over by the helectuieu to the town, finished and complete, for the public use. At this H)int in the proceedings, tho formal and preliminary exercises having been finished, the orchestra gave a selection with vocal ''Ii Urippo" variations, which was received with a torm of applause. Chair man Davis then introduced, in happily chosen words, the orator of the evening, Hor. Chas. A.

Dickinson of the Iterkelev street church, Uoston, "'a Westminster boy .11 r. Dlckhiioii'ft Ail.1rt. Tho oration which followed was rich in historical research and familiar rerninU cence, and full to the brim of the love aud reverence of a devoted sou for tho grand old town which gave him birth. Prefacing its main portion with tho declaration, 'I am proud to be called a 'Ureeu Mountain Yankee," Mr. Dickinson traced, in a comprehensive w-ay, the beginning, growth and outcome of the conflict over the New Damp shire grants which finally resulted in making Vermont an independent state His sketch of the life and characteristic of Ethan Allen, and of his contributions to state aud national history, was a vivid one The history of Westminster wai sketched with such a ready Imti I and sich warm and picturesque coloring as did honor to head aud heart, and proved the speaker's appreciative love for the home of his ancestor The starting poiut of this history wan found in the coming to Westminster in the spring of 17M, from NorthtUld, Mass of John Averill and his son Asa, when only two houses were standing in the town one of them in the garden of the place where tho speaker was Iwrn, and the other at the foot of the Clapp hill, on the site of the present Taylor house.

John Averill made his horn In the former house, and here the first white child in the town was born. This homo stead passed from tho Aver-ill to 0 Jonas Titcomb, Mr Dickiusou's grandfather. The tender est and nio-t graceful thing of the evening was the sneaker's tribute to the fctrongandheautlfulmiaracterof "Aunt Hannah" Averill, to whose gracious influence in his early childhood he owed the impetus which finally sent him iut- the ministry lor ins Die woric. i 1 mo wuiu i'iuuidw. ammonia, uui Keeps inoisi auu sweet, anti is pal-which took place in the old court house ou atableand wholeaome Hot hlsi-ult and griddle the crest of "Court house Hill" a rmle structure of log covered with clapboards, kitchen fn one corner and a bar room in the other was a vivid and stirring one.

Here (ell William French, the first martyr of the devolution, here uu souudVl the tocsin of that Immortal tttruggte for liberty, hero was struck the keynote of patriotism which the whole country has heard and ro-sfronded to In later days. Nor were the heroes all In those earlier days. The names of Kairbrother and l'ierce, martyrs in the war for the Union, are worthy to be recorded on the headstone with that of Wm. French, Personal sketcho-i were given of early Westminster residents, and the picturesque incident was related of Kthau Allen's marriage to the widowed daughter a Itold, Imperious woman of the notorious Crean ltrush The place occupied by (leu. Stephen ttowe ltradley In the history of Westminster was recognized, aud then came a description of tho old meeting house, and feeling expression was given to the rever ent appreciation felt by every Westminster resident for this cherished relic of the past, which had been church, school house and tow ii-house typifying the three great factors in our modern American life religion, cuucauon, sun rage.

Eirnest words to the young were spoken in alluding to the changed conditions and enlarged op(Krtunities In these later times In which our own lives are cast. ''See to it, then, my young friends, that the disposition to improve is corresioiidintflv larire. The times are swift and you must know a great deal to keep up with them." In conclusion Mr. Dickinson said in substance "I count it the greatest honor of my life to be able to do this service for my native town. What I got from the bracing air.

the pure friendships, the nuiet scenes of this New Kngland village I have now, and I am trying to impress it upon the people ot my charge 1 am striving to make it a blessing to my fellow men "(bxl bless the Ijoys and girls of West minster May they honor this new building as their fathers honored the old." Itich in thought and feeline, eWant in diction and finished in delivery, tho address was min in every wav worthy tho occasion. and tho people of Westminster will undoubtedly see that it is printed in such complete mi permanent form as its rare merit de serves. The t'leainu IrrrrlluK. Milic by the orchestra followed the con chisinn of the address, and then It. T.

Phelps was introduced as a representative of the Oram! Armv men. It was proposed at the start, Mr. I'helps said, to make this huiWimr nn old soldiers memorial hall, but the final decision was otherw ie. and hoped the day was not far distant hen Westminster would erect a suitable inontl ment to her soldier heroes. An elooueut ami aiiectlonate irihute to the oldchuicti was given, with a vivid description of its lesiruction hy lire from a lightning stroke As he dosed Mr Phelps alluded to the fact that the cutiola of the new huildimr is t-ur mounted by the gilded vane ami compass points which crowned thespiieot the old church, and crashed to the earth on that memorable night of the lilh of June, 18.

Kesohition of thanks to the master build er, of gratitude and best wishes to theiriv ers of the stained-glass windows, and of thanks aud hearty greeting to Mr. Dickm son, were presented ami unanimously adopted. Following these was a resolution hy John It. Morse, requesting the selectmen to cause these resolutions aud a iViiopsU of tho eveniuir proceedimr to Ik placed ii mil the town records, with a me mento of the old building. The crowd then slow ly diopersest to the music of tho orchestra, and for two hours afterward the supper tablet, up rend by the ladies in the lower hall, were crowded.
