accountof a very worthy and commendabe con-
cert of music that was given in this village
Tuesday evening, by our own singers, in behalf
of the sufferers at our late fire. But for the
most needed rain, we should have had a crowd
ed house. AS it was, there was respectable
and appreciative audience Messrs. Snow,
Mariner, Quimby and Cutter and Misses Ca
ry, Bean, Bracket and Schwartz were the per-
formers, who acquitted themselves finely, and
did themselves great honor, as well as our citi-
zens great credit Solos, Duets, quartettes, land
full choruses with piano accompaniment by
Miss Schwartz, were the feast of reason and
flow of SOUL" In addition to this home talent,
Mr.. Garlic Shaw favored us with several Fl ne
airs on the harmonica This effort shows that
can have fine entertainments within our
our own MEANS if we will but encourage them,
