Tlio opeuingof tho new Opera Ilouse marks au eni in tho history uf our town. It was a happy and thanktul crowd that pourcd into tho beautiiul theartro last Saturday uight, to seo tho Tragedy of Macbctli, It, raay scem to somo that tho lessccs inight bettcr havo cclcbratcd tho openingof tlio llouso by a lightcr play. But it was wcll to open its doors for tho iirst time to a lirst class play, and tho grand words of Shakspearo mado a noblo cliristening service. Tlio gloomy Trag edy could not sliadow tho happincss of tlicise who, as thoy looked abuut tliem, cougratulated each othur over and over agaiu, that, at last, wo havo a placo of amusemont in Bennington whcro wo shall bo ablo to cnjoy au ovening in com fort, and shall bo glad to tako our fricnds. Tho Opera Houso surpasscs our oxpcc tations. Tho seats aro easy, and light ing pcrfect, and tho linish aud coloring plcasing and artistic. When curtains and carpct aro added, old Bennington will possess a llouso equal to many in tho largest cities. To old Beuningtonians, it does not seem so vcry lotig ago that Apolco Hall was built ou South St. It was, for many yoars our only gathering placo. It was a proud day for Bennington when Library llall was given to tho villagc, aud it has seryed us well for thirty yuars. But tlio old hall had its hmita tions, which tlio villago loug ago outgrew, "iil'iimn llin tiAiv " anu TVO . - . .. uuoin UUUSO, with tho convlction that it will bo amrjlv sulUcicnt for our nced for many ycars to cume. 1! Mr. rutnam could havo hcard the rcmarks that wcro mado about liim and his work last Saturday ovening, I think ho would havo rcalized that tho peoplo of Bennington apprcciato what he has dono for them. Wnon a man does a kind, aud aud helpful, and unsolllsh dccd, it is pleasanc for liim to know that it is ap preciatcd, and it is wcll that Mr. I'utnam sliouhl bo told that wo rcalizo our ooli gations to hira, It is wcll understood that an Opora 2oi'so hero cauuot bo a paying invcst munt. It Is built for tho puhlic pleasure, not for any proilt to tno oJ!!l!e Bennington owes Mr. II. W. Putnam a debtof gratitudc, not only for rclieving us from tho discomforts of Library Hall, but for giving to acountry town a motro politan Opera Ilouse. a. r. v. "Wliere Aro WeAt?" Mr. Edltor. This was tho qucstion that many Bennington pooplo asked thcm selvcs as thoy sat in tho dainty little thc atre, so artistically dccorated, that was opencd to the public on Saturday oven ing. One could hardly believo them sulves in Bennington, and all familiar with Troy and Albany kuow that thcre is nothing that cau cumparo with it in either placo so that it really aeemed as if one wero in New York, with the ex ception that those who are in the hablt of attonding tho theatre out of town did not havo tho uncomfortablo fecling that thoy would probably havo to loso part of the last act in ortlcr to catch the train. Ono of the reasons that Library Ilall has not bcen bottor patronizcd is that many dld not havo proper oreralls to woar that would be in kseping with tho placo, but this difllculty no louger prescnts itself as no ono has any clothos too flne to woar in this charming teraplo of art and amuscment. It was notcd with much plcasiiro that somo of our prominent citizens appearcd in ovening dress and while it is sometimes a little bother af ter a busy day to drcss for the thcatro wo aro suro that the rellning iufluenco and tho pleasure it givcs othsrs will atnply compensate for tho oxtra troublo. It is a great mistako that peoplo who can afford to do things haiidsomely do not do to for fear of being considercd snobbish or tryiiig to outshine thoir nclghbor. It was only a fow years ago that tho car riages used by some of our wealthy citi zens and Bummer visitors wcre a dis gracc, not only to thcmsolves and the town, but to tho hnndsomo horses, for which our State is noted, that wero com pellcd to draw them. Whethnr it was horso or man that kickcd we know not, but tho fact is, to-day ono of the chief attractions of our villago is tho large numbcr of artistic turnouts that actually give as much pleasuro to your humblo servant and hundreds llko him that go afoot or walk as thoy do to tho gentlcraen who aro ablo to possess them. If our poople would rcalizo a little moro the amount of pleasure thoy can ciyo the whole community by paying a little moro attcntion to tln nicctics of lift, taking for their cncouragcment the progress this town lins made in tho last tive yuars, it will not bo long beforo tho question will bo askod in all parts of our town as was askcd in our new thcatro, Wuere ARF, We At?

The best ovidtnce of a man's skill, me chanical or professional, is the charactcr of the wnrk he has done. "A workman is often known by his chips." Tho best ovidcnco that a physician can givo is liv ing witnc&scs ot his skill in the form of gratcful paticnts whora ho has rescued from diseaso and despair. Tho fact that Dr. Smith and associato liavobeen located in Troy two ycars with t constantly in crcasing business shows a growingconfl. dcuco not only in magnotism butin tlicsc physicians as physicians and gcntlemcn.
