The Old Folks Concert spoken of in the
CGielORidn two or three weeks since. came
Off on the eve. of the 18th. under the di-
rcction of Prof. \. II. Cowles, and was Il
success in every sense of the word. The
chorus numbered about % singers. One
was pleasantly reminded of olden times by
looking at the gentlemen with their shot
brccchcs. long stockings. knee and shoe
buckles, swallOw-tail coats. ruffled shirts,
wigs, &C.. W lille the ladies appeared in all
solts OF costumes. but more especially did
the bOnncts attract attention, some of them
resembling 4 four-bushel basket, others
an oId-fashioned bellows. and others we
could compare to nothing but the old
chaise-top that has so long ago gone out
of date. We think ali the garrets and
back rooms must have been ranSackcd in
this and adjoining towns. to have brought
out so many Old traps as were exhibited
that evening. The music rendered, with
the exception of few songs. was all of
I'VE ancient time," all of which vas per-
formed in most admirable style. not only
rejecting great credit upon the choir, but
also showing that the conductor had been
untiriu" in his efforts to make it one OF the
best musical entertainments ever given in
Cabot.
Mrs. Frank CobuIn last week presented
your correspondent with an orange fresh
from the fields of South Carolina. which
measured thirteen inches in circumter-
cncc. which very pleasantly reminded one
tha; there were places in the world where
the mercury does not stand 2to below
zero.
We understand the ladies of the Cong.
church and society are to hold an Apron
Festival and Oyster supper on the eve. of
the 9th. TO raise funds for refdrnishing
the church. Nc.. and we have no doubt it
will be a good time for old and young.
