cess. We were unable to be present our
self, but had our reporter there, and Of
course are prepared to tell all about
it, There was not n failure in the
whole exhibition, and to go through
the the whole programme would occu-
py too much of our space, and proba-
bly, exhaust all our adjectives. The
performances that were best appreciat-
ed we're, the Charade, champagne"
The School, Prof. Weber's song, "Jhon
Schmidt" j. p. Siggins uong, Dear
est may" The paper by Prof A. c.
Porter, entitled "The Morning Star"
and the instrumental music. All the
performances were good and we'll re-
ceived, but the ones spoken of above,
we hear talked of the most, and there
fore conclude they were the best. "The
Morning STAR" contained several good
hints at the young folks Of our town,
and we suppose we may congratulate
ourself that it is not to be issued regu-
larly, or it might interfere somewhat
our circulation. The receipts almost
paid the expenses attendant upon the
performance, but as the admission fee
was very small, that is saying a good
deal for the size of the audience. We
hope to see similar exhibitions hereaf-
ter.
On Thursday evening Of last week,
our town was thrown into state of
violent excitement by report that a
man called "Whiskey," living on
Judge Proper's farm, on Dutch Hill,
one mile from to wn, had killed his ba-
by, and severely stabbed his wife. AS
he had been i'll the habit of beating
his wife when he was under the inhu-
ence of liquor, and was under said in
fuence whenever he could raise the
liquor, the story was generally credit
ed. We saw the woman and child the
same evening the child was unhurt,
and the women was scratched about
the neck and hands and had evidently
been pretty severely choked. So the
murder and stabbing business faded
from our view and left us to think what
a pity it was that the origin ator of
the report, was not known to some of
our sensational dailies. Certainly his
talents are not properly appreciated
about here.
On Friday evening last our Coro-
ner was called out in hurry by the re-
port that drowned man was lying at,
or near the head of Dustin's Island,
in the river. The DIR. loaded himself
in skiff and proceeded to the island,
when instead of a drowned man, the
object that caused the excitement was
found to be cows paunch. The DIR.
returned to town, sadder and, OH ac-
count of his discovery, a wiser man.
He says he has seen men who sported
good deal of paunch, but he never
saw one, drowned or otherwise that
was all paunch.
H. L. Hogan, is to leave our
county and settle in Titusville, where
he will open livery stable for the ac.
commodation of the public, We feel
like recommending him to Titusville
people, and will warrant them that
they will find him all right. Mr. Ho
gan will have vendue of all his per,
sonal property on Thursday of this
week, at his residence on Allendel
Run, Harmony Township. This will
be good opportunity for some OF oul
fsrmers to "stock up"
We see croquet is being patron
lied some in this section. The juve.
nile play it principally, as yet. 1t twill
soon be time for the older ones to take
! a hand. And this reminds us, thai
f no efforts have been made this year t.
get up Base Ball Club. Now as al
, organization of this kind is supposed
, to be necessary to the peace and gooC
will toward men, of village, W,
hspe soon to see move in this direc
ton.
"A paper can be seen and signed
by ablebodied men, at Capt. Knox
Store, for the purpose of organizing {
Militia Company under the State laws
We notice quite a number of volun
teers on the list, and suppose the com
pany is a sure thing. The pay by thC
State is s12 per year, and the Soldiers
pay no Militia tax. Those who wisl
to join had better do it soon, as tn,
company will soon be full.
We hear of parties meanderinl
along our streams, but have but on'
ocular demonstration of their success
