Last week in connection with the Mrs. Rus
sells proposed charity concert, we infimated
that an effort was being made through the
officers of the A. +. & S. +. Railroad to Sc
cure free transportation for persons at New
ton and Sedgwick City, to the concert and re-
turn. The idea was that thirty TO fifty couples
would avail themselves of free ride, good
supper at the Occidental, a fine concert and
tree dance and social at the parlors, and in the
dining room of the Occidental till train time.
We are happy to announce that the officers of
the above road have acted most magnaimous
with reference TO the proposition. Tickets
for round trip and concert one dollar from
Newton and seyenty-fiye cents from Sedg-
wick. We hope to see our friends down in
goodly number. The following extract from
a letter from NJ. l.. Sargent, Gen. Passenger
