after four or Ave years OF careful aud thorough study
under eminent masters, gave his "First Grand Con-
cert' at steinwav Hall last evening" Before his de-

After wandering around for time, they
concluded TO stop and dig hole in large

One of them, Charles Butler, insisted up>

irom his sutferings. Having pulled off his
boots to rub his feet, he was unable to ct

several miles barefoot in the snow When
he reached the house his feet were badly

harsh prairie grass, bleeding and use-
