straAgtL oI ilyl4.iblo despair, All Ea- rope combined could not conquer such a people inspired by such song.
 The Be,isario juet was good deal bun glad unlike anything else or thu program. 1Ir. Leggat' s second colo was decided ! success and on being encored he sang a very sweet Lullaby composed by Mr. King. The Champagne song was an excellent thing, but hardly suited to the longitude 1 and latitude of Old Judea. Still people smiled as if they appreciated certain something in the song, after all. Mir. Hills "Bould Soger Boy" sung OF an en- core WAS the most rapturously applauded kp;ece of the evening In fact If there was anything 10 critic;se in the concert it was its lack of frr It was Plymouth Church without Beecher.
 Mr. Gum explained to the audience the circumstances under which the concert Was given and the special obligations we were under to Mr. II. z. King for the en- 1 tertairment 4 hearty vote of thanks was given that gentleman who responded neatly and appropriately, concluding with a motlon for vote Of thanks to the quar- i tet, which passed unanimously with the the supplement of three rousing cheers. After the concert the floor was cleared for a dance and the young people had good time to the music of the new piano.

 The past week has been an extraordi- nar;ly unlucky one for visitors to the Lake as the Quartet found to their sorrow the day after their concert. We hear that the Gunnery Encampment is postponed.
 H. Stick, stickier, stiekiest! How every thing sticks in this weather. Doors. win- dows, drawers, are glued in. You cannot look in the glass without your face stick !ng to it. It is very hard getting out of bed before eight o'clock. The pen sticks in the bottle, the ink sticks to the pen, and ideas stick in the brain of the itemizer Thy rain sticks to it, and even the parsons stick to their texts. It is sticky business all around. And yet this is just the weather we need, and therefore everybody finds fault with if. We are glad of it.. When we came here from Western New York, five weeks ago, 1t was all dust. The side-hills were so hard and treacherous, that being ont of practice in walking in- clined planes, We were forced to take a meditatively reclining position quite off, ten. In fact oftener than seemed necessa- ry; we began to devlse means of carrying a portable cushion along to alight on Now, all Is changed. The soft velvety grass is luxurious, and vegetation claps it's hands and sings with delight, while the grasshopper and potato-bug comb out their wet locks and tuck up their bedrag- gled skirts in sadness. Water is the prime element, and we must have it or die -. ... .,...
 The papers are boosting of an old lady who drove moving machine, when she was ainety-forir years of age. Wait Aber- nathy IS ninety-siy. and the other day he wheeled an oak plank on wheebarrow from his house to Henry Woodruf's sa " ,4il, three quarters of 6 mile distant, to have some cart-ribs sawed out of it, but as MT. ". could not do 1t, he wheeled the plank mp the hill back again to his home.
 The young birds did not fly out of the Birds Nest. last week, to aight beside Waramaug lake. Too much water for their pin-feathers. They will try it thls week if the skies are propitious. It is curious to see what singular effect rain har upon a boys physical and mental constitution. If it is going fishing or some pleasure ex- cursion that is on hand, though it pours "big guns," he Is sure it does not rain enough to wet flea, or if 1t does, 1t won't hurt anything; but if there is some family errand to be done, or his sister needs III umbrella and waterproof carried to the school house, "Why, why, mother it rains awfully. l should get wet clear through, and catch cold, or the measels, or ague, or rheumatism'l like old Uncle Ben, or phthisic, or lockjaw, or bellyache, or my death r Just tell him to stop and and see if his Mary Jane's mother don t want to send something to her; and you will see that boy dusting down the street like an arrow. Rain can't touch him.
