 EnglisA Sparrows- of our city ex changes makes quite an ado about dock of English sparrows in Watertovn, NY. Pshaw! Laksville is full of 'em. Mr. Rudd has built two story house on the east end of barn to accommodate what few he has, and that won't begin to hold lem all.

Those who attended the Arst of this course 'f entertainments, pronounced the lecture 'f Mir.

Those solos by Hattie Burrall and Dr. l Knight were splendid, and particularly fine 1 vas that part of the Doctors solo toward | he last of the piece, which compelled him | climb to the very top of the highest lotee. It isn't necessary to say he got here. and that when away up out of sight, lis voice was as clear as bell, and when Ve said some weeks since that the Doctor vas worth hundred dollars a minute to ny choir. we were net under special Day or lying for anybody, and for that reason old the truth.
