ity being fattered thereby, proceed
ed to pay his most devoted attention
to them. Then the fires of jealousy
began to brightly burn in the bosoms
of both love-sick lassies. Last Sun
day they met upon the front street, a
few words passed and then scrim-
age began. Damsel number one seized
damsel number two by her curly
locks and yelled. Then both yelled
at once and tried TO bite bit out of
each others noses, but as this could
not be accomplished, they contented
themselves with scratching, biting,
stamping, kicking, yelling, sereech-
ing and hair pulling until the town
constable appeared upon the scene
and trotted them off to the solitude
of cell in the parish Jail. The hard
hearted you'll. who was the object of
the devoted attachment of these mis-
guided females still lives, and has
the cruelty to decline going bail for
either one.

NAzARBNE CHURCH FAIR.

The Fair for the benefit of the Naz-
arene Baptist Church of this town
opened at the public square Thurs
day evening, at 4 o'clock, and pro-
crossed very satisfactorily until late
hour of the night. The unpropitious
weather of yesterday compelled an
entire suspension of the festivities,
aud unless the skies are clear to day
our Nazarene Church friends will not
realize as much peeuniary benefit as
they expect aud deserve from their
festival. The preparations for the
entertainment and refreshment of WIS.,
itors are excellent, and we feel conf
dent all who will while away q few
hours in attendance at the fair to-
day, weather permitting, will be am
ply rewarded by the enjoyment af-
forded.
Rev. Ashby, assisted by the elders
and other leading members of his
congregation, is indefatigable in his
efforts to make the fair success, and
we trust the result may be as favor
able as he could wish.
It is the intention to close the fes-
tival Tomorrow night. In next issue
we hope to be able to give the friends
Of the enterprise gratifying account
of the proceeds realized for the wor-
thy object in view.

marry him until she has obtained the
consent of her brother Max, WHO is
off in the army. On the lst of April

few wags address q letter to Daniel,
purporting to come from Miss Betley,
In which she consents to their union.
Fully believing the contents of the
letter, Daniel obtains a marriage con-
tract and joyfully hastens to Miss
Betley, who explains to him that it
must be an April fool. He once more
presses his suit and is again refused j;
Miss Betley declaring she will not
marry without her brothers consent.
Daniel resolves to leave the country.
At this juneture Max returns with
troop of soldiers +; he has been. absent
so long that Miss Betley fails to rec
ognize him, and he orders his men to
break into the wine cellars of her
residence and take whatever they
wish. Miss Betley then calls upon
Daniel for protection, an event which
Max anticipates, as the two Daniel
and Miss Betley) had loved each
other from childhood. Max then
challenges Daniel to mortal combat,
Miss Betley interferes to prevent the
duel, and Max promises not to iniure
Daniel provided he marries imme-
diately. Miss Betley declares Daniel
is married to her, and produces the
marriage certificate Daniel had OBJ
tanned upon the receipt of the April
fool letter, and which she signs Sc
cretly. Upon reading the certificate
Max states it is not signed by wit
nesses and proceeds to afix his name
thereto, and thus makes himself
known.

CONCERT AND TABLEAUX.

CONCERT AND TABLEAUX.
1t is almost needless to say the en-
tertainment given last night at the
D. S. c. B. Hall for the benefit of the
Ascension Episcopal Church was a
complete success. The audience at
tending was large, select and APP
preciative one, and frequently ap-
plauded the performers. The per-
Torrance consisted of tableaux and
concert, and was an entertaining one
IN every respect. The stage was fit
ted up in tasteful and elegant style.
A large oval frame had been made
and placed upon it, and the various
figures in the tableaux were stationed
in such manner that the audience
apparently looked upon life size
picture elegantly framed. A black
back ground was so arranged as to
bring out the different scenes in bold
relief, and make the resemblance to
large painting more startling. It
is impossible to state which one of
the various events, historical aud
poetical, represented, was the most
beautiful, as they were all gotten up
with the greatest care, and were
nearly equal in attraetiveness. A
glance at the programme, which We
give below, viii give those not pres
ent some idea of what they missed BY
not being in attendance. The inter
walls between the various tableaux
were filled by vocal and instrumental
music by talented lady and gentle
men performers. Both the singing
and the playing was magnificent and
was greeted by the audience with
rapturous applause. Edibles of every
kind conld be had at the refreshment
tables, and every body availed them
selves of the two intervals, of three
quarters of an hour each, to go out
and refresh with ice cream and other
delicacies. The entertainment lasted |
until after midnight, but was of such
an attractive nature that no one
seemed aware of the rapid flight of
time. Want of time prevents lis from
giving as full an account of both con |
cert and tableaux as we would have
liked to have done, but those present
know all about it and those absent
ought to have been there. The fol-
lowing is the programme:
