Palmyra and Paris, gave concert il

Much interest was manifested during
the performance of the pieces, some

Her voice is very clear, strong and

stepping forward and bowing very
gracefully to the people. Also a sec

music. We should judge her to be

as much in the future as she has in the
past, she is on the highway to tame.
To judge of all the troupe, for there

A Sabbath School Institute was

Thursday of last week at the Union

same of Messrs. n. ID. Clark & Co.,
and by their enterprise and judicious
management have succeeded in build
ing up a business and reputation sec
ond to no other carriage mandatory
in the country, East or West, Their
work is first class, and in beauty of
design and elegance of finish, is not
surpassed by the oldest and best es-
adjustments in the country. This is
attested by the fact that their work
finds its way to and a ready sale in all
sections of the country, and they have
orders which require the running of a
force. of hands fully up to the capacity
of their works. In the various de-
partments of their establishment they
furnish employment TO seyenty-five
first class; experienced workmen, and
during the past year they have manu-
featured about 100000 worth of car
ria9es, for which they have found
ready sale, with constantly increas-
ing demand for their work. 1t is an
institution which is credit alike to
the enterprising proprietors and to
the town, and in the success of which
our citizens feel just pride. Long
may it wave.
