The "oLD FoLKs' AT NAUsHros's Hail.
TIE Sentimental Old Folks' appeared at
N4ugbton's Hall last evening, and we're greet
ed oy q large and appreciativs audience. The
novelty Of their costume and ssill more the
novelty Of their singing, kept the interest slive
and curiosity awake from the beginning to the
close OF the concert.
The oddity Of their dresses, representing the
various fashions Of the Olden time, is Of itself
sufficient to repay one for q visit to the Hal
curing their stay. Among other queer thiDge,
are exhibited bridal bonnet of eighty Ave
years ago; black bonnet called q "coal.scut
tle," seventy three years old; a"gunboAt bon
net" and ladies' and gen.lemen's apparel and
ornsments Of al kinds, remarkable In our eyes
from their great antiquity and siDgularity.
But the music was as much In the old fash
ioned style as the appearance and costume Of
the performers. The psalms and bymDs, thai
were sung 90 our grandfathers and grandmOtb
ers may be supposed 10 have sung them, or tC
have heard them suDg, and as many who are
not very old may have heard them sung IN th'
''iurAl Districts" Wtre well performed BY thu
choir" Particularly, when one was executed il
the nasal style, and another with the motiOLl
of heads, hands and feet keeping time, mir'i
was irresistible Notwithstanding the solemnii!
Of the words, and the seriousness Of the air.
; There was foe miDgling 10 the concert o.
ancient songs, and old tunes fitted to mOderr
songs and sentiments. QaArtettes, trios snt
solos of great variety and interest gave rict
zess to tse entire performance. The -swee
voice OF Mrs. Nichols and the deep bass Of Mr.
Gulick are certainly Of themselves alone worf
the price charged for admission. Bot the whol'
company are accomplished vocsliSts, and giv'
concerts that FOR novelty, variety and good mu
sio, are seldom, II ever equalled. Bsside'
they cannot fail to be entertaining even to tht
dullest and least sppreolAtiye, for they address
not only the ear bat the eye slso.
Batto form 40 adequate idea Of what these
aOeien,s rsslly are and how the told FOlks"
reilly appear. people must go and see and bear
for themselves Rsmewberp they ~illsappear
and perform again at Nsughton's Hall this
Thursday evening.

SANITARY FUND.-We are pleased 10 an
nounce that our citizens have at last aroused
from their lethargy, and are making all effort
to contribute to the Relief Fund. Messrs.
Van Orden and Coushey are circulating n
subscription for that purpose. 1t should be
made county affair, taking plenty OF time
and giving all an opportunity TO contribute
their mite. 1t is one Of those laudable and
patriotic purposes that appeals to every one,
on the score of suffering humanity, and it is no
real excuse for man to say Il did not
bring on the war, and will have nothing to do
with it." Neither did the wounded and suf
ferng soldiers of the Government army. They
were wounded while patriotically fighting for
their country and their flag, and are guilty of
no crime. 1t is simply contributing to the
relief of suffering humanity. Let US give ac-
cording TO our means, and be thankful that we
are enabled to give for the benefit of those who
arc suffering in the discharge OF their duty to
our common Government. Let those who are
opposed to the Republican party remember
the admirable patriotic remark of Commodore
Blake, when Cromwell had usurped the throne
OF England, " No matter into whose hands the
Government may fall, our duty is still to our
country"

other is little Federal gunboat of four hun

one Of Cromwells 8 ships, but was chartered by
the United States Government fer Commis-

two vessels are somewhat alike. and if the reb-
