evening, in the Town Hall, was numer-
ously attended. The first part OF the
programme, consisting of vocal and IN
strumental music, was acceptably per-
formed. Where all performed their parts
SO creditably it lie, perhaps, unnecessary
to particularize, yet we must say that the
opening chorus by the choir was really
effective and beautiful piece of vocalism.
The piano solo of Miss Anna Gilmore
quite young LADY, evinced wonderful
proficiency and excellent taste, the piece
selected being very difficult one. The
audience seemed much pleased with the
efforts of Mr.. Enghels, of Brandon, and
his son Harry, who appeared in pleasing
German duet. Master Harry afterwards,
by request, sang the pretty ballad, Il will
be remembered for what I have done,'
with a charming distinct utterance, and
careful enunciation. The closing must
cal charm of the evening was an exquisite
Scotch song, which was beautifully rem.
dered by Mrs. G. Fl. Sheldon, accompanied
by Mr.. Sheldon on the piano. All the
deep pathos and characteristic beauty of
Scottish melody were admirably exhibited
by the singer. AS the first part of the
programme satisfied the ear, so the second
was very sweet and acceptable to the pal
ate. The Strawberries were very large,
but owing, we believe, 10 previous ex-
perienee) very few. All were satisfied,
however, that there was more or less tgin-
ger in the snaps this time. 'Rebecca at
the Well looked charming beside the
modest Jacob, who CALAMITY assisted her
to water Abrahsm's numerous mules
which focked thirstily up to the fount.
The financial part Of the programme, we
hear, was satisfactory.
The Haywards gave two performances
at Central Hall, on Monday and Thursday
evenings. Mr.. 81. is a sweet singer and
good mimic. His sudden changes of
character and costume are unique parts OF
his programme. To please all tastes an
actor is sometimes obliged to leave the
model track of gilded propriety, and as.
sumo a little vulgarism. We were amused
to notice the effect of the dolorous and
pathetic ballad, Il wish your mother d
come home upon different portions Of
his audience.
The Sarsfeld Cornet Band are making
fine progress under the popular Conduc.
tor, Prof F. Wilson. Mr.. Edward Cops,
first E fat oornetist lof this band, is one
of the most promising musicians in the
State.
A Festival, in aid of the French Catho.
lie Church, was held in that building on
Saturday evening.
The frame. work of the bell in the
tower of st. Bridget's Church was acct
dentally broken some time since, the re-
pairing of which will cost two hundred
dollars.
The new -four and meal store of Mr..
John O'Neal, recently built, near the de-
pot, opened last week with the addition
of large stock of groceries.
Your correspondent lately had the
pleasure of an introduction to the genial
subject of Mr.. B. w. BIS last eulogy. His
gratitude ia unbounded, and we are in
structed to make his lowest obeisance,
fsh-hooks, gadding, etc, to the contrary,
Notwithstanding. We are converted to
Mr.. BIS theory, that fishing and gadding
IS human only with slight change in
the syntax.
Mr.. e w Liddell has procured a
patent upon the marble door-plate. 1t is
a handsome ornament, and will no doubt
meet ready sale. Nearly all the resi-
dences ia this village have them affixed
as door plates The lettering. we under
stand, upon the plates is executed by Mr..
P. Small, an expert at his business.
Two fine twin children of Mr.. Nc
Carty, infants, died within few hours
of each other last week. They were
in perfect health up to a few hours be
fore death.
We have to announce few effects of
the workings of the worm and STILL A
lady who deals in the juice of rye di-
luted, and again regenerated, entertained
some friends on Sunday, until their man
ners becoming highly indecorous. she
armed herself with the broom stick and
cleared the field. Her dear man being
jeered at for cowardice, returned, and in
a desperate encounter elected the LADY,
and called in his aids. Valor, however,
soon dropped under regenerated rye, and
at the last accounts the lady was again
mistress of the avenging wand, and the
males scattered. EXCELSIOR.
