be literally patronized by our people. The
Free Press of this morning has the following
appreciative notice Of similar concert, given |
BY Mr.. Phillips and company with marked
success in City Hall. Burlington. last evening
The audience expressed its approval by hearty
applause of almost every piece on the pro-
gramme. Miss McQueston showed herself
| to be an accomplished soprano of thorough
culture and excellent school, and fully MAIN
tanned, last evening, the high reputation as
an artistic she has won here on former occa-
slons. In response to an encore, she sang
with much expression q sweet little Italian
song. Mr.. Lumbard was in splendid voice
and had a most fattering reception. His
rendering of "Let all obey was especially
powerful, and to its enthusiastic encore he
gave {" Scots whs haze" with great effect. He
was again encored in the second part when
he sang as only he can sing it Rocked in
the Cradle of the Deep MIR. Phillips voice
manifested wonderful improvement since he
last sang in concert. He has fine quality
and range of voice and his execution is very
good, as was seen in his best song of the
evening, &" The Shades of Evening" which
was justly encored. Mr.. Phillips acknowl-
edged the compliment by singing Marstons
song of " Where 60 you, Lovely Maggie"
SPILLED HIS MILK.-Some few, days since
young Huntington went down to Middle e1
with team to procure a can of cream for his
fathers eating saloon. Securing the tactical
richness, he whipped up and swiftly whirled
homeward. Reaching the Jewett railroad
crossing he found his course INSTRUCTED by
passing locomotive or two and train of
moving cars. With keen outlook for the
"main chance SO characteristic of his race,
be deserted an opening for little bit of a
speculation by whipping through loop-hole
in the trains and thus dis..ncing two or three
other teams waiting for the cars to pass. To
see is to do with a Huntington, and he
dashed boldly and swiftly into the gap. 1t
ives only miss OF two inches, but the telc-
| graph post wasn't where it should be, and
one of the wagon shaft struck it squa-ely.
Then there was mounting in hot haste, !"
our hero vaulted into mid air, and put
ground and lofty tumbliug to the blush, by a
gymnastc double somersault which carried
him fully fifteen feet from his carriage
and landed him in the luxuriant heritage
which the cows do crop. The GAG of cream
took up the excitement of the progressive
movement, and bounded after the young N \.
But mind and muscle cine out just seven
feet ahead of matter. The can struck at
eight feet square on its side and the unctuous
richness spread itself Ike the water from our
street sprinkler. So thoroughly was it dis
seminated into irfntestimal particles that an
inouisitiye searcher after traces OF tie spilled
cream declared there W" not even a grease
spot left of it. A philanthropic Hibernan
now came promptly to the front, and made
haste to search out and extric-ate from the tall
grass the senseless re mains of our hero.
Bending tenderly over the prone body he
aoxiously Intercepted it thusly: "Be's ye
kilt intirely, me honey, or oaly clane gone
hurted for ives?" To the infinite disgust of
the woulf-be corpse raiser, the fallen young
man sprang to his feet and cleaning almost
ardonically upon the benevolent individual
bu-ted out, s. Well. what if am; what are
you going to do about it?" Charlie then
dejectedly gathered up the empty can, un-
horsed the telegraph pole, which had BE-
come firmly wedged between the wagon shaft
and fore wheel-thus securely holding the
horse and say ng a runaway-toggled ul
the demoralized parts, and plodled home
ward, inwardly grumbling way down in hi

tenance at the thought that there were to be
other sufferers than himself from the loss of
that cream, because the habitues OF Hunting
toms model saloon must surely forego the
nice ics-creams for that hot day. But Charli,
doe3'nt run an opposition line to the loco
motive any more.
