use of room. | tender thanks to the
friends who aided in promoting the
concert by efficient service in pre-
pairing the Hall and to President Of

The Free School Concert

The exhibition came off last Faiday evening
as announced, notwithstanding the very inclem-
ent weather, and large attendance showed
their appreciation de- spite the untavorabe sur
roundngs, and enjoyed pleasing and crafty
ing entertainment.
The concert first night was eminently sue
cessful, and at the solicitation of many citizens
Mr.. Mansfield repeated the exhibition on last
Tuesday night The house was crowded by
the beauty and fashion of the city. The stage
was tastefuly and beautifully decorated with
eSergreens and flowers but none doomed more
lovely than the rosy checked and nicely dressed
children who We're maIshaled in line on the
stage. Their happy voices, beautiful and
sweet songs, coupled with speeches, illustra-
tions, ludicrous plays, and palpable hits ON va
rious idyosincrasies Of the age, upon the whole
made it a pleasing. interesting and amusing en-
tertainment, creditable TO, both alike, pupils
and Superintendent. The children eyinced
thorough discipline and careful training, and all
must have been satisfied with the manner in
which they acquitted themselves. We dare
say that Tuesday evening was the most pleas
ant evening that our citizens have spent in some
time Our cooped up spirits these warm days,
have been desiring to be free from the tolls
and cares of monotonous life, and luXuriate in
an entertainment of this character where inno-
cence and mirth infnses new life.
The Marietta Quartette Club impaired much
TO the pleasure Of the occasion. This Club
was improvised, we learn, only for this oceas-
ion but we trust the ladies and gentlemen
composing it, will not allow it 10 be disbanded,
bat will permanently organize The splendid
manner in which they acquitted themselves III
the rendition of their several pieces, displayed
musical talent of no ordinary character. A
large audience could be easily induced to greet
them on most any evening if they would give
a Concert interspersed with tableaux scenes.
W. trust this suggestion will not prove untifne-
ly.
The Cornet Band, generous hearted and no
bic in their endeavors TO aid all laudable en-
terprises, enhanced 10 a considerable degree the
pleasure Of the entertainment.
We are glad to be able to chronicle the tat
that it was in every point Of view success.

Mr.. II. l. Kimball, in a letter TO one OF our
citizens, proposes, as sign of good faith and
earnestness, that Marietta endorse only as he
builds the Marietta & n. G. Railroad. Say
when one mile is built, then Marietta endorse
with one tenth of her subscription on that mile,
and so ON, until the ten miles are completed.
Will not our city attest a willingness to help
build this Road Or will they i'll idle fancy
dream on, waiting for some good geni to come
forward and construct it =! 1t takes energy and

show determination to help.
