A COUPLE of our contemivnariew—in exactly similar
words. thus notice a concert recently given here :
"This village was rased from a reverie and many an
inhabitant pent into hysteria by a concert which took
place in the schoolroom on Priday lest. All predicted it
would be a great SW:One. but it far surpassed their
wildest anticipation& To say the room was crammed
w..uld net explain the crowd. Every win low-sill was
mid, • place for standing, the centre path woe packed so
close with a seething mass of human beings that it was
almost impossible Inc the performers to reach the platform.
This wee also packed full and lined along the edge, not
with fiowar& but with a crushed multitude, and 'MI they
cry "they come, they aloe."
And no on. The writer is evidently qualifying for
the editorship of the (Jitney Hatch Chronicle.
