The Concert.

The Dye Brothers and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bennett held their musical entertain
ment at the first Baptist Church in
this city on last Monday evening.
The audience was large, and was COM
posed almost solely of our lovers of
good music; such an audience as could
appreciate justsuch az entertainment,
and intelligently critisize the musical
ability of the performers. The pieces
selected for the evening ranged from
the impressively solemn teuthe ludi-
crous and witty from the softest of
passions to the most SHfuFfated and
frenzied; from the intellectual and
noble to the simple and unsophistica-
ted. The varied characters werewolf
represented, by first class talent.
The delight and sympathy of the au-
dienee was frequently shown by i'm
mense cheering. Our joy is the great
er, as this musical troup is composed
entirely of home talent. They have
held concerts in various town in
Southern Nebraska, where they have
established a reputation which places
them among first class performers, and
secured from the press ~flattering men
ton. They met with very substantial
encouragement on last Monday night.
