Block Island was reached at 1 o'clock p. t., and tbo party soon found tbeniBelves comfortably quartered at the Ocean View hotel, one of the largest, best appointed and most fltiely located hotels on tho island. The afternoon was spent In ex ploring tho Islaud, gathering shells aud oth er curiosities upon the bench, and watching tho waves as they broke iu tiroless Sort up on tbe sands. Tho most notable event of the visit was the banquet given to tbo association and its guests Thursday evening, in which the pro prietor of the hotel, Mr. Nicholas Ball, aud Manager Mardeu won new honors for them selves and their bouse. The immense din ing hall was handsomely decorated with flowers and bunting ; orchestral musio lent its cburm to the occasion ; and the elaborate cuisine gave evidence of experienced man agement aud abundant resources, l'resident A.

After dinner the party took their departure from tbe islaud, followed by tbe strains of "A uld Lang Syne" from the hotel orchestra.

At 8 o'clock the elegant dinner tendered by the Ilrattleboro editors and printers took place in the spaoious dining hall of the Brooks Houso. The party consisted of one hundred and sixty jjunmli .Is, priuters aud guests, and forty invited local guests. Hon. 11. D. Harris, who, thirty odd yeurs ago, was the bright, aggressive editor of the ilrattle boro Eagle, presided. The tables were adorn ed with beautiful flowers, aud the menu pre sented an ample list of substantials and deli oacies, interspersed with Sbaksperian mot toes. From Ihe Manchester Journal Tbo editors and craftsmen of Ilrattleboro provldfd an elegant banquet at the Brooks House which was heartily enjoyed by tbe membors of the association and invited guiata to tbe number of 171), The First Regiment band, one of tho finest in the stale, played several pieces before the banquet, and the Fhilharmonio orchestra, another fine musical organization, furnished music for the feast. Misses Howe and Brasor, two Ilrattleboro young ladies, also furulshoil fine vootl music, Mr, Luoieu Howe presiding at the piano. It was truly a hearty and geiierous welcome to tbe fraternity and thoroughly appreciated. L'roui the Argue. Hon. J. M. Tyler responded to "Brattle. boro,"in bis usual pertinent manner, though lunate modesty prevented his saying that concerning his town which he naturally de Blred to, but which, neveitbelexa was fully appreciated by those who bad bad the pleas ure of seeing its hea'ities for themselves. Musio was next ou the program, aud tba as sembly was agreeably surprised by the ap pearance of Misses Mary Howe and Ha tlx llrasor, two young ladles of Ilrattleboro, who were Introduced by Mr. Harris, and sang a duet, "The Harbor Bar," In a most effective manner, aud on being very energetically re called, gave "Trust her lint." Miss Howe has a very full and clear soprano voice, and Miss llrasor an extraordinarily fine alto. These young ladies, both under twenty years of age, give; promise of great success iu the futuie. I From the Uirre Enterprise.) Here at llrattlsbornj tbe grand limes com menued. We were met by a couiinltleo from tbe Ilrattleboro fraternity and assigned our quarters. About 1 o'clock teams were driven to the door of the Brooks House, aud wo were iuvlted to take seats for a driw around town. We were first driven to tbe Insane Asylum but did not stop, probably because the drivers feared they might not get all their passengers again. We wero thtn taken to the Estey Organ shops and made a short In spection. The drivers tbeu thought It the Asylum and IXey's was no place for us the cemetery would be, so they drove to that place. Here wo saw many beautiful mouu. menls, among them being the oelebratod Jim l'isk's. About 22r. editors, publishers and their friends sat down to tablet heavily loaded with eatables. For a full hour Ihe rat lie of kntves'nnd forks Indicated that Justloe was being done to the viands. While this was going on in tbo dining room tbo air nut sldo was full of musio furnished by tho First Regiment hand. Inside tba Fhilharmonio orchestra, assisted by Misses Howe and Bra sor, entertained tho parly with vocal and instrumental musio. From the Newport Express,) As soon as the visiting members had been domiciled, carriages were in waiting at the Brooks House and the whole party was given a ride around town. Tho Asylum, the Entey organ works, the cemetery, and other Kiiula of iuterest were inspeoled. Tbo unanimous verdict was that Ilraltleborlaus have a right to he proud of their homos.
