nouncing 10 our readers this week, the enter.
tsinmen Ito be given to oourtowpspeoplcby Chas
"A. Spencer M. A., of Buffalo. Mr.. spencey's
abilities as a reader are very fine, and his seloc-
tions always choice and pleasing. The apprecia-
ton of many Of our choicest poets, is greatly
increased by hearing their beautiful thoughts
appropriately rendered and 1t is not every day
that we meet with one who is SO thoroughly Gu
pablc of adapting himself TO the various senti-
ments and feelings Of authors of any and every
character as Mr.. Spencer. This branch of art has
been Mr. Spencer g special study, and his success
in training bis pupils, ofthc Heathcotc School in
Buffalo, ofwhich he is Head Master, proves well
his own high attachments. s-.,..,.-.,
Wehope he may have good audience for we
much desire to see such rare treats in the form OF
public amusement ana instruction combined, re
ceive their merted support May Mr.. .Spencer
Have d full Hall on Wednesday evening, septemi
Der 5th.
Il II is pleasant to be noticed in this world and
the attention given our last article or the
''Judgeship, by our neghbor-in-law of the Re
porter, squite trying to editorial vanity. The
tone of Charity" that marks tho conclusion of
the article, and which indeed is more or less
levident throughout that task, is by no means to
be overlooked. CHARITY, as virtue, whether
springing from the heart, or merely found about
the ''Old clothes, inthe recesses Of the pockets
is no mean possession, in these mercenary times
Such virtue and such incentives to action should
never be permitted to waste their fragrance upon
the desert air. Hence this notice.

! The music at our last anniverary evidently
contributed largely to the enjoyment of the oc-
casion, as was clearly seen 10 the cheeful coun-
tenances of the crowd constantly waiting about
our stand. As such exhibitions are attended
with considerable outlay on our part, we hope
that any effort In that direction may be duly APP
preriated by those having the matter In charge.
