:. This company had very large
audience on Saturday evening I'm st.
Patrick's Hall. Mr.. Galloway took
wonderfully In his songs, exciting
roars of laughter. The Twins "
also brought into play all the risihle
faculties of which the audience was
possessed. Miss Jenner aud Mr..

earned for Miss Je1ner a round of
well merited plaudits she IL really
what we may term the "Queen of
Songs" Scots wha hae,n and
Aud Lang Syne," played on the
bells, awakened i'm the minds of the
Gaels and the Lowlanders many
pleasing associations I'm congestion
with the home of Wallace. :" The

tour to-day, where their fame, which
has proceeded them, will, no doubt,

The Presbyterian Witness Halifax,

To Make OUR CITY GRow.--There
is a mine Of sense In the following,
every word of which Is as true as the
gospel Of st. Luke:
The true secret of the growth of
any place, is maii.ly owing to the in
ducements and encouragement held
out to strangers to settle among them.
Encourage active and worthy men,
whether they have money or not.
Their labor alone is worth money.
Stimulate every legitimate enter
prise by giving it all the friendly aid
| In your power. Cultivate public
spirit, and help your neighbor; If
he is in danger of breaking down,
help him. lie he gets fairly down be-
fore you know his situation, set him
on his feet again his misfortune Is
to be pitied. not to be blamed, and
his talents and labor are worth money
to the community. Besides 1t may
be our turn To need corresponding
sympathy. Let us speak well of our
neighbour. Talk well and encourag.
ingly of our town, its prospects, its
| advantages, and in short, everything
likely to advance It's welfare"
MUsICAL.-In company will, some
seventy-five of our musical citizens,
we attended the grand concert, given
by the members of the Musical tan
vention, which was held In Cedar
Falls last week. The Concert was
given on Friday night, aud was truly
grand and successful. The capacious
NJ. Il. Church was crowded. the
number present being estimated ut
twelve hundred. We understand
that there were three hundred voices
united in the choruses, aud we never
heard any equal To them I'm strength
and grandeur. The fact that the
pieces selected were generally the
same rendered at the concert I'm Va
terloo last year, detracted somewhat
from their Interest to u majority of
those present, who had heard them
before. Mr.. Root Is the same popu-
lar and successful conductor, and Ii,
perhaps without rival in the coun-
try. The Convention was a most
satisfactory success, aud the people
of Cedar Falls added largely to their
reputation for generous hospitality,
by the manner In which they enter
tanned the members of the Uonven-
ton. Waterloo Courier.
