Tho Ladles’ Literary Circle.

We regret our inability to attend the entertainment given by this Society at the residence ot Hon. R. S. Dwiggins last evening. We are informed by an invited guest who was present, that the exercises were of a meritorious character, that the several members who were on duty for the evening acquitted themselves admirably, uud that the eutertaiument was in every respect an enjoyable one. The occasion was the second anniversary of the organization of the society. In her opening address, the President, Mrs. It. S. Dwiggins, announced that since its organization two years ago, it had, by some of its members, met regularly each Thursday. The membership comprises many of the bestWDtnenof our town. The object is intellectual develop ment. It is manifest that the society is a success and has become one of the permanent institutions of our town of which we may justly be proud. Rensselaer is the abode of enterprising citizens, one of whom has just completed a i andsome little opera house with a seating capacity for 600, and another a mammoth brick hotel, and the town is being supplied with street lamps.—fMontivailo herald.
