The OLD Forks CoScERT- Our usually
quiet village vas thrown into quite pleasant
state Of excitement, last Tuesday evening, by
the rather sudden appearance Of the Old
Folks" Of Nyes RaucA among Us, to give one
of their grand concerts. We had heard them
spoken of very highly, but found on hearing
them, that ike the reports OF the land OF Ca
paau. 1.-the half had not been told. " But then,
how could such on affair be anything but
recherche success, under the unparalleled lea
dership of Father Hamilton who, in bis more
active days, was city Sexton of Marysyille,
but has of later time, turned his attention
somewhat 10 music, for the purposes Of reja-
venation, and to please Col. Lane. Father
Hamilton has been good looking man, aud Is

troupe of vocal and instrumental musicians,
present-their ancient chef must not monopo
lie our entire attention. An array of them
covering an area Of 444 square feet OF the
brick church, attired in fantastic costume, of
more antique appearance than the ancient
chief, even, presented quite musical group,
ATTENDED by the Mayor Of Nye's Rancho, who
is nothing more nor less than good sl-ed
Fowler. When we surveyed the assembled
musical talent, we thought that Heaven was
represented on earth, but when the choral
strains broke forth, We felt our thoughts to be
well founded Never did We hear some half
dozen instruments. aud three score voices,
chord so well, and send forth their pealing notes
with such full acceptance to the ear. The
HUDseN never witnessed better performance,
than came On that evening, from each BELcHER

led in sweet voice We have sat US down IN
by-gone days, by the BEACH, and heard loud
anthems swelled, but never in such graceful
style before We do not mean as to vocal

we pass to THAT undiscovered country from
whose BoURSE no traveller returns 1t was
no hastily Cook ed up affair, as if dona by some
hungry FlsuER, in haste to be off to fair

was fairly ecrpsed by the HUB bard. The
BARNES gave ample proof that it was grand
hey day. They brought forth from their
treasures, things both new and oldT-fashion-
ed, aud carried the admiring throng back, to
the fashions Of Hudibrand and Shakespeare,
forward to contemplate the full musical cho'
rus of theskies" Seriously, 1t was grand and
gratifying affair, and we will long remember.
with gratitude, the kinduess Of our musical
neighbors of Marysville, in giving Us of Orc

was large attendance, as many as the church
would hold The troupe returned, and we
trust the "Old Folks Al Home" are, and ever
will be happy.
