The music-lovers of Middlebury have seldom had a treat equal to that of Tuesday evening of this week, when Prof. Orth of Boston gave a piano-forte recita I the hospitable parlors of Prof, and Mrs.

Brainerd. His selections were from the best masters: Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Chopin, and they were so arranged as to blend with best effect. Everything was played from memory. His execution combined manifold excellencies; always his touch, delicate and exact; his interpretation, sympathetic, sugsestive of the orator's earnestness and glow. The audience comfortably filled the spacious parlors, notwithstanding the notice was brief and the evening forbidding.

Prof. Orth's entrance to Middlebury circles was in July, atlthe wedding of Mrs. John H. Stewart, who has been his pupil at the New England conservatory. Such were his attractions, both professional and personal, at once pupils sought his instruction, and he has made weekly visits for that purpose, assisted by his sister, Miss Orth.

The proceeds of the concert were divided with our ladies' library, and its patrons are deeply sensible of Professor Orth's thoughtful generosity. It should lie mentioned that one of the choice selections at therecital was the "Ora die Song" ofjthe professor's own composition. The pleasure of the evening was greatly enhanced by three duets sung by Mrs. Miner and Mrs. Pitts.

We shall be glad if the next summer vacation brings Prof. Orth to the Champlain valley. S. Middlebury Graded School. THE RECORD OP ATTENDANCE.

This play, which is pronounced Au-gustin Daly's greatest success, will be given at the town hall next Tuesday evening, the 29th inst. The same company played it at Burlington during the State fair and the Free J'ress, which is not inclined to exaggerate, gave them this notice "From the rising of the curtain in the first act till it fell for the last time before an audience reluctant to leave their seats, there was scarcely a dry eye in the house, the fun was so thoroughly emotional. It is seldom that laughter is so genuine as that produced by the inimitable merriment of this new play.

The situations are in themselves so delightfully absurd as to be irresistible; the dialogue is equally neat and the acting, as the play was presented last evening, was equal to both. The play is thoroughly enjoyable and has not an objectionable feature." Tickets are on sale at Ilaua-ford's. For prices, see the advertisement in another column. Michael Fleming's Death. Michael Fleming, a brakeman on Conductor Foy's freight train, was instantly killed at Brandon last Saturday morning.

He had been to the front end of the train, was walking towards the rear and had reached the fourth car when the train went under the Pearl street bridge, just this side of the station. He was struck on the back of the head by one of the cross-beams of the structure and knocked off beneath the train. Twelve cars passed over him, cutting the body in pieces. The remains were gathered up, prepared for burial and sent on the afternoon mail to the home of Mrs. James McNertre, a sister of his wife, on Town Hill, New Haven.

The funeral was held Monday at the Catholic church, Vergennes. The deceased was 28 years of age and leaves a wife and two children, one two and one-half years old and the other two months. He was a son of Michael Fie naming of Charlotte. For the past four years he had worked for Station Agent C. E.
