SONTAG TONIGHT.

Sontag's programme for tonight EN-.
braces her six finest arias and songs. Her
very finest that is, to American musi-
cal tastes, generally. They are the songs
in which she has given most delight to
her American audiences. 1t is worth
walking two miles to hear her sing with
in mile of Edinboro' town, at any time.
We understand that matters will certain
ly be so arranged this evening in the con-
cert room, as that the public may rely on
the Ushers one and all doing their duty
in the matter of securing each seat 20 the
holder Of the ticket or check calling for

ence will be sufficiently large to fill every
