CHILpREs's FAR.-The fair and concert at
Mrs. P. Fl. Browns residence yesterday after
n ,on and evening was very successful affair
and must have added considerably to the fund

shrewdness and ncnchalance of their elders

many of our best professional and amateur

A REMARKABLE MIRAGE.-A writer in the
Rochester IN. W Erpress records remarka-
Bile mirage on Sunday afternoon last. He says
that to one standing at Mount Hope there ap-
peared lifted in the entire north sky the blue
waters of Lake Ontario, while reflected from
them could be seen the mountains, hills, val
leys, bays and rivers, or the Canada shore in
land for miles. The coast could be plainly
seen over stretch of fifty miles, and so clear
ly at one time that the forests could readily be
distinguished. Those present who were famil-
lar with the Canada shore could readily distin-
guish Rice Lake, Belvidere and other promi-
nent points in Canada. The lake looked as
though it had by great tidal wave rolled upon
Rochester and covered One-half of the city, as
no building could be seen north of Main street,
or any land between the city and the lake.

imaginable convenience, with air, light and

variety of substantial edibles to which they
rendered ample justice.
After the supper the company we're enter
tained in the hall connected with the house by
a variety of Tableaux the characters being pre-.
scented by several of the young ladies and gen.
tlemen of the village. These groups of living
