CoNCERT.-On Monday and Tuesday
evenings of this week a concert troupe
calling itself the Excelsior Company
gave Entertainments in the Kiser House
Hall, to audiences as large as the room
would accommodate, and which the
backless plank seats accommodated very
poorly. The speciality of this company
was the orchestral music, by four young
ladies, who performed respectively upon
the first and second violin, bass viol and
guitar, and who made very respectable
and creditable music, playing in good
time and spiritcdly. The vocal perform
ances OF the young ladies, however, WAS
by no means all they might have been;
and the united attempt of the company
at bringing out farce was considerably
farcical. "John," however, did the
Irishman very we'll, and was the strong
hold Of the company in the comedy line.
Everything was well received by the
who we"t for the purpose OF
being pleased, and evidently had no in
tention of being disappointed. Even
the proprietor. As ho divided his ntten-
ton between the stage and the ticket
business at the door seemed to be enjoy
ing the performance SO hugely that it
was suggested to him that he ought to
pay some one an admission fee. ~~.
HOLIDAYS are now nearly ut hand,
and anxious papas and mamas, uncles
and aunts, brothers, sisters, cousins and
"other fellers' are looking around to
find the best place to purchase the pres
ents that are eagerly expected and will
lingly given OH that occasion. Now if
any such would like bit ofgood advice,
here it is: Go to Bernard Lang's. He
has one Of the largest, most varied and
selected stocks of trinkets, toys
and fancy articles suitable for this pur-
pose ever brought to Upton. One peep
at the array Of dolls that can be found
at his place would be better to any little
girl than a quart Of molasses candy.
Rubber dolls, china dolls, wax dolls,
large, small, black, white, cheap and
costly dolls, dolls in full dress, dolls
partly dressed, aud dolls with no dress
at all, are displayed on his shelves, in
rows, tiers, groups, squads, regiments
aud armies. Then he also has toy
dishes of many styles, and furniture to
match, for tire said dolls housekeeping
and tops, whips, knives,
drums, trumpets, swords, pistols, mar
bIes, balls, sleds, and, and-my, we can't
tell you beginning Of the things he
has there for the boys. When you call
in you will see tf,cm all, if you stay long
enough, as also handsome assortment
of vases, work boxes, toilet cases, fancy
match safes and very many other pref
ty articles. ~~~->

creasing the number Of "paid one year,
upon the one we already possess.
The Stock Joc,mos, we believe to be a
publication, not only of interest, but
also of actual parctical value to stock
raisers and farmers generally; and think
that we are doing a handsome thing

offer it as a permium to each subscriber
paying in advance. If you are of like
mind, send in your subscriptions. We
have a number of names for the Jour-
nal already, and will try to stand five
hundred of them if pressed upon upon
