TIE GRAND CoEoEET As you Predictedin
the LEADER of Thursday, your numerous
readers in Mesdyille t7ere treated to ''mu-
sic of the first water" by the Max ssrs-
kosch troup, who gave One of their grand
entertainments here Thursday evening, st
Central Hall. The hall was well filed with
an attentive and Discriminating audience,
such as is seldom met with in aplsce of sim
liar size in the UDited- ststes. The sipccring
of the pieces was remarked by stakosch
and the performers as a thing unexpected
in q town never before visited bya troupe
Of this kind, and demonstrated the fact that
our citizens can appreciate superior talent
and music. Having met with such lstter-
ing success here this. time, strakosch has
signifed his intention of returning next
winter.
TIE MEMORIAL FUND.-Up TO yesterday
there were but sixteen names signed to the
Lincoln Memorisi.Fun at she postofice.
Mr.. CulIum's CffciaI duties are Of such q
nature as to prevent him from soliciting
subscriptions. Those that have subscribed
have done so voluntarily.
The report that President Lincoln left
an ample fortune may prevent many from
subscribing who otherwise would'do so. 1t
is not true that he left q fortune. His ex-
ecutor, Judge Davis, of Illinois, after tax
ing an account of the estate, has notified
Mrs. Lincoln that she cannot afford to keep
house on her means, but must board. For
the truth Of this the New York Tribune
vouehes.
Let me suggest that a card be posted at
the delivery, announcing the fact tina. -Ib-
scriptions to the fund are received at the
post office and at the First National Bank.
THosE STREET LAAiPs-Three members Of
the Town Council have been appointed to
ascertain the number of lsmPsposts needed,
and to decide on the places of their location,
1 think it can be stated, without fear Of
contradiction, that we are going to have
more light on the streets, thanks to the
wise heads of our town government. Toe
much praise cannot be bestowed upon them
for their energy.
THE PARK FoUETAIN.-We are unable to
tell what kind Of a performer our " park .
fountain is going TO be until n sufficient
supply of water is obtained. The fountain
is nearly completed aud ready for the water
but, it is said, eithr the supply-pipe ii
broken, or the pressure is not great enough
to force the water up. Whatever the deiec
may be, we anticipate seeing it repaired
and the fountain playing in a short time.
=MIsCELLANEods IrEAs.-Ths members 0
the Ladies' Soldiers Aid Society are re
spectfully requested to meet at their rooms
on Liberty street, on Wednesday, as bust
of importance is to be transacted.
A donation party is to be given to Rev
Mr.. Day, on Wednesday evening Friends
irrespective of denOmipation, are respect
fully invited.
A good plank or brick sidewalk is yer!
much needed in frOnt of the New Schoo
Presbyterian Church. The fence and Gu
Pola could also be much improved by
coat of paint. Fry it, good friends, and Sc
the result.
How much better would our Court Hous
look if the windows were repaired
and the building renovated throughout
+ The whole "sdi6ee'' should be painted
a light lead color, excepting the cupols, doc
8 and window frames, which should be whit,
3 In such a "gsrb," the Oldest inhabitar
8 would hardly recognize the shabby build
ing known as the @Court House"
1t is currently reported that 81, 500 wort,
of whisky is drunk weekly in Meadvillt
This rumor is without foundation. It's
=. weak invention of the enemy to destroy OF
d fair reputation abroad. r .
