OLD Folks CoNcERT.-On Saturday
evening last, the celebrated company of
sold Folks" from South Reading, Mass,
under the leadership of FATHER KEMP, gave
. Concert in Days Hall, before very large
sudieAce. We are sure we speak within
bounds when we say that seldom has con-
cert given such complete satisfaction to an
appreciative audience as did that of the "Old
Folks" and never has an audience retired
from the Hall in better humor with them
selves and "the great big world" than on
Saturday night. The hymns and songs of
eye olden tyme," which were sung by our
mothers and grandmothers, and from their
associations, 80 dear to the hearts of all Of
US, were produced in an eptionable
style, and as they foated with richness and
sweetness which cannot be described, many
were the pleasing, and yet, perhaps, not
painless, recollections of happy days gone
BY, which crowded themselves before the
minds eye. Success to the sold Folks"
LARGE SHEEP.--Many Of the farmers Of
Portage county, who have devoted their
time and attention to raising wool, have
sheep upon their farms of almost incredible
size and weight The largest one we have
seen or heard of lately is LeicestershHe
Buck, owned by Mr. HARVEY HoTcHKIss,
of Ravennu, which is 9 months old and
weighs 1853 pounds. He has also three
sheep whose aggregate weight is 44s pounda.
If any OF our wool growing friends con beat
Mr.. H., we should like to hear rom them,
The CONCERTS OF PRoF. WEBsTER.--
Our reders will recollect that the Juvenile
Glass, under the management of Prof. WEs-
sTER, will give Concert at Days Hall, this
evening. On tomorrow (Thursduy) even
ing, a Concert of Miscellaneous Music will
be given by his adult class. Asboth concerts
will exhibit the musical powers Of tour own
folks" as developed under the guidance of
Prof. Webster, we are of the opinion that
the bare announcement will be sufficient to
fill the Hall on ench night.
SUPPOSED TNFANTIcIDR--Quite an excite.
ment prevailed in the neighborbood Of the
Depot on Tuesday last, caused by the fnd-
ing of an infant, apparently but few hours
old, which had probably been left to perish
by its parents. 1t was found partially wrap.
ped up. by the side of a fence, near the Wa
ter Tank, and was frozen as hard as bone.
The body was decently buried, but we learn
that no steps were taken to discover the
authors of the crime. The case certainly
demands some investigation.
THE BAKER FAM1LY.-The many friends
of the "Baker Family" will doubtless be
pleased to learn that they will give Con
cert at Days Hall, on Saturday evening,
the llth inst. Since their last visit to this
place, the Bakers have added q number Of
new songs to their programme, and other
wise improved their entertainments. We
bespeok for them such reception as their
merits Justly entitle them.
Court OF COMMON PLEAs.-The February
Term of the Court of Common Pleas will
commence on Monday next, the 18th inst.
The number OF cases on the docket is small
but as they are OF considerable importance,
the session of the Court will continue two
weeks, and may probably be extended to
three weeks. Of the criminal cases, that oil
the unfortunate PRICE for the murder oi
ALANsoN BALDWIN, will be the most promi.
