SILVER CoRNET BAND.-Kenyon's Brass
Band having reorganize,i, propose giving
Subs riptIon Concert, for the purpose o.
enabling them TO purchase an entire set o
Silver instruments. Every citizen is aware
Of the importance and real necessity In a
town the size OF Delaware where good
music is in such demand, and so highly ap-
preciated, OF having a band Of our own.
such u band will certainly be less expen
siVe, more accessible and much more credi-
table to the community, than the importa-
ton OF foreign music. Let therefore, all
citizens who take pride in the prosperity Of
our town, subscribe literally for this con-
cert and thereby secure to those who are
willing TO endure the labor the means
furnishing a first class Silver Cornet Band.
The band viii be assisted Ia this concert
by the best musical talent in the city. 2w

THE EASTERN RAILWAY We un-
derstand the impression has gone abroad
that the required amount necessary to
secure the eastern railway has been sub
scribed, and that some of the friends Of
the enterprise have ceased their Efforts.
This is a great mistake. The amount
has not nearly been raised and the dan
ger of our losing the road entirely is
imminent. The bonds of the company
have been put in the market in order to
raise money for constructing that part
of the line between Millersburg and
Mt. Vernon. No money can be applied
to the work on the division from Mt.
Vernon to Delaware until the conditions
required of this county are complied
with. We are informed that the com
mittee propose to visit the eastern part
of the county in few days for the pur-
pose of making one more effort in be-
half of the enterprise. Meanwhile a
little effort must be made here also.
This township lacks at least 5000 Of
the amount required of It.
We learn since writing the above that
the Committee will hold meetings al
Rich Hill on Wednesday. the a5th, and
at Mount Liberty on Thursday next the
z6th-both meetings at one o'clock P.
I'M. \ meeting viii also be held at Olive
Green on Wednesday evening the 18th
inst, and viii be attended by the Com
mittee. The amount of subscriptions YET
to be raised is SzI, 900.

and the Delaware Brass Band (colored),
have rendered their services without
compensation for the ceremonies of Me-
mortal Day Considering the fact that
the members of these bands are mostly,
if not all. working men whose time is
valuable, this act of generosity is partic-
ularly meritorious. We hope it viii be
kindly remembered, and that whenever

Of the public the request will be cordial
ly responded to.
Since the above was written we have
received information in the announc-
ment of to-day that Kenyon's Band

to raise money for the Band and is just
such an appeal to the public as We
above referred to. We renew our rec.
