took the responsibility of engaging Halls
Band to give a concert in Academy
Hall last week Monday evening, and the

unfavorableness Of the weather The
point We wish to make is this these gen.
yemen make no complaint but purpose to
make another attempt to furnish this COM
munitY with some entertainment which
shall be elevating in its character and
profitable to those who attend; and it is
to be hoped if they do 50, that the PEG.
pie will respond, and encourage the enter
prise. Every one knows that We have
too few of these ameliorating influences
in the community. Let us have more of
them, even at the expense of little ef-
fort.
