TOWN AND COUNTRY.
Sunday school Concert.

The NJ, z. Sunday School Concert,
given last Sunday, was most entertaining
and instructive exhibition. We do not
wish to be invidious, and while we COM
pliment all, can not but mention the two
recitations, by the Misses Thayer, "OVer
the Hill to the Poor House" and "Over
the Hill from the poor House, !" as fine
pieces, most excellently rendered. Two
beautiful quartets were well sung by the
Misses Mason and Messrs. Herrin and
Crawford. The singing by the School
was good. MFR. Vancleve's address, at
the close. was brief, pointed, and mostly
directed to grown people. Great credit
is due to the committee for the eminent
success of the exhibition. The next concert
will be given on the first Sunday in March.
HooDLUMs.-At last, it seems, our quiet
city has become infected with this speci-
men of genus puer. We notice many of
our promising young urchins carry the
well known elastic sling, and throw stones
about, apparently regardless of conse-
quences This week number of window
glass were broken at the North School
house by these mischief-loving youngsters.
1t is the duty of parents to look out for
their boys. On Wednesday evening we
noticed a couple young hopefuls enjoying
a regular pugilistic set-to onsecond street.
Let our contemporary ego after" these
hoodlums, as he publishes the high moral
organ.

The child was about two years old, and
lived but two days after the accident.
CoNyAI.EscENT.-We were pleased to
see our young friend Ike Fox, Esq, on our

feels, and we are sure he looks, better than
ever before.
REv1vALs.-A gentleman just up from
the west side counties informs us that
revivals are fashionable now in almost
every village. Why don't Corvallis revive
DANcE.-A very agreeable social party

west of town, last evening. i
