Mr.. Estis, was the largest eve,S,oade nv any
gentlemen for Commissioner of En-on. All
the successful candidates were on the "Aawn
Town. ticket, and were elected to take charge
of that portion of the town in particular, and
to see that it, got at least all that it had a
right to claim. The down towners have for
several years felt themselves aggrieved, from
the fact that although they paid large pro-
portion of the town tax, yet nearly all the
money so collected was expended in improv-
ing other portions of the town. They once
or twice before attempted to elect Board of
Commissioners to redress this wrong, but
until the election on Monday last, failed to do
so. OF course therefore. their triumph ON
that day caused mu,a rejoicing among them.
On Tuesday evening fine supper was given
bv gentleman of the Down Town party in
honor of the occasion. when some twenty-five
ofthe younger Downtown voters were present.
The tabI, was loaded with the delicacies of
the season. as well as Wines and Liquors of
all varieties. but vet to the honor of the town
and its young men, be it known that all the
guests returned shortly after midnight to So
Der beds.
But this party was not the only great event
of Tuesday evening. Several weeks since
our Local musicians determined to give Mr..
I. T. Wells of PHILADELPHIA benefit as some
slight return on their part for his numerous
former acts of kindness in assisting them in
Concerts held in Flkton. for different benevo-
lent purposes. The result of this decision
was A grand Concert of vocal and instrumental
music. which took place at the Court House
ON Tuesday evening last. The programme
was an excellent one. and was admirably per-
formed, causing several attempts to encore,
which however ON account of the length of
the programme were unsuccessful. The sing
ers who took part in the Concert were Mr..
J. T. Wells and daughters, Mrs. Culin and
Miss. Shaw, of Philadelphia and Mr.. j. A. ].
Creswell Miss. A. Brown and Miss. Brock of
Rlkton. About seyenty-fye dollars were rails
ed. Int the amount of receipts would have
beep considerably increased had not Mr.. Wells
distributed complimentary tickets very lib
erallv among his friends. The Court House

of these pieces which had been so enthusiast
ca,,v rece;ved the evening before. and the
nsrformanee was even more creditable to the
einoers If nossible than ON Tuesday evening
and Al the close of nearly every song they
were AGAIN called ont. until Mr.. Wells found
IL necessary to state that IL would be impossi-
bile for the ladies' and himself to repeat any
mora nieces on account of fatigue. And
must hare add that on eacb evening the ner-
formanoes were varied and enlivened by Prof.
Lancaster's excellent Band which discoursed
some of the finest pieces of music in their
very best style. At the close of the second
Concert. the President of the Fire Company
proposed three cheers for the gifted donors Of
the Concert. which were given in three Fire
mems style cheers. after which the assembled
audience we'll pleased returned to their homes,
