The Joint COncert.-Notwithstanding
the terrible condition of the roads, the two
joint concerts given by the Haskins Orches-
ira, assisted by Arion Cornet Band, at Has
kins on Wednesday evening, and the Arion
Cornet Band, assisted by the Haskins Or
chestra, at MILLER & Cos new Hall, last
evening, was decided success in every par
ticular, except the attendance was not as
true merit. We will venture the assertion
that there is not another village in the
State, even Of three times the size of Has
kins, that can produce an orchestra of ten
pieces that will compete with the Haskins
Orchestra. They take the most difficult
music, from the best authors, and execute
it equal to most of our best city orchestras.
The execution OF the quartets, duets and
solos, by the CURRIER family, were exceed
ingly fine and highly creditable to them as
vocalists. The Arion Cornet Band was on
the programme for two pieces, wllch were
rendered in very fine style and creditable
to the progress made by the Band in the
short space Of time they have been prac-
ticing.
Mr.. G. A. REPAss favored the audience
with one of his pleasing ballads, and the
encore was prolonged until he was cOmpell-
ed to sing another. Each piece in turn re-
ceived applause, and we trust our citizens
may at no distant day be favored with an
other entertainment from the same per-
formers. At the close of the performs ance
last evening the two Bands indulged in an
oyster supper at Mr.. GErz'.

Dave Phillips Again In Limbo.

The notorious Dave Phillips was lodged
in Jail in Bowling Green, on Friday last
The man is lunatic; at any rate he, on
that plea, escaped hanging FIVE or six years
ago, after deliberately shooting aneighbor /;
and he has as deliberately turned and
cheated his lawyers out of property decided
to them, claiming he was crazy when he
made the deed. He attempted rape upon
a woman near Grand Rapids one day last
week and on Thursday he was captured Rt
Delta. When taken he had in his pocket
a revolver and drew it upon the Constable.
When he could not make go OF that, he
refused to walk, and said if they wanted
to take him to trial they mast take him
he wouldn't walk. They put him on a
horse and started for the hotel, when he
concluded he would like to preach. They
told him to preach away, and he took for
his text the passage about Christ between
the two thieves, and thought he was in
just the same fix, as long rs he was boosted
on horse between the constable and his
assistant. Phillips was taken to Grand
Rapids and given hearing, and bound
over. In default of the 81 900 bail, he was
sent to the county Jail at Bowling Green.

2S6 County DItches Wood is not the
only county that has ditching to do, as will
be seen from the following from the Wau-
seon Republican,:
"There are two hundred and eighty -si Z
county bitches in Fulton county averaging
about miles each, total in length Of S5S
miles. They cost close to 81 per rod, max
ing n total cost of S274, $50. This seems
like large sum of money to pay out for
that purpose, but it is an insignificant sum
when compared with the benefits. There
are 265,737 acres of land in the county
outside OF corporations. Say that it has
benefited the lands generally in the coun-
ty to the extent of $40 per acre, which is
indeed low enough, we have the increase in
vaiue-$2, $50, 800. Even reckoning the
benefit at SIS per acre, the insrease in val
ue would be Sl,2S0,1S5. The great value
of drainage in our county is patent to every
body. The cost, apparently, falls heavily
on landowners sometimes, and they are in.
clined to growl little, but when they read
the above figure, we venture they will Rd-
NIT that it has money been we'll invested"

ENGLAND AZ THE SOUTH.

The reports returned by those Eng
lish immigrants who lately settled in
Virginia, and those who have estah-
lished a colony at Bridgeport, Tenn. :,
and located themselves in Georgia,
must have been favorable, for all ac-
counts speak of their content, pros
perity and enlarged plans, and the cx-
preston Of q number of recent Eng
lish travellers in the South who sought
to learn its resources and the opportu-
mites for investment and trade. was
very fattering. And other enterprises
are announced in other portions OF
the South, originated or seconded by
England. One of the last is at Spar
tanburg, S. c., on the Richmond d
Piedmont Railroad This is co-opcra-
tive, and has a capital Of half Il million
dollars employed in cotton and WOODEN
manufactures. 1t has already out
grown its first purpose, and has inst
attracted number of Northern men
who, convinced by examination that
the prospects Of success are good,
have enlisted others, and they are
buying lands at from four to fifty dol
lars an acre, praising the climate, the
cheapness OF living, the good will Of
the people and their solicitudo to have
other immigration from the North and
from England, whether to increase the
agriculture or to enlarge the manu-
features.
Abiding to this emigration move
ment, the Philadelphia IDecricGn, a
bitter Radical paper, for once finds
something to say of the South not en-
tirely unmixed with sentiments OF
good will. The 1nlCricon says: "Ihe
whole return is gratifying. The nature
of the immigration, the capital il
brings and attracts, the activities it
generates, the peace it finds aud pro-
notes, and the association it causes of
Northern with Southern mon, AID of
both the most welcome class of immi-
gration-all Of this is calculated to
benefit the South in many respects,
and permanently to increase a prosper
lty that will contribute to national |
welfare in the early future. Slight as
the beginnings are, and scattered and |
various in their constitution, they all |
contemplate greater industry and pro-
vide it. They bury the old questions
and animosities further from sight. and
erect over them the best assurances
against revival in establishing employ
ment that not only laps up labor that
is unemployed, but brings in that
which is intelligent. We commend
these evidences of improvement to the
attention of all who wish Southern
welfare"

Skins 'EHhHf SAIn

The days of the scupperno?g are
almost numbered for the season. 4
few bushels still daily fud their way TO

several times on yesterday we Witness
ed feats of ground and lofty tumbIing
which made rs almost believe that
Coles circus had not yet Left town.
It's all owing, however, to the way
one walks. Everyone has noticed that
there are different styles of walking !:
There is your smooth, easy. cat-Eke
walker. who glides along without an
effort and never stumbles or slips for
him skins have no terrors. Then
there is your confident, high headed,
heavy stopper, who is always looking
forward to the main chance he often
finds himself the victim of his own
over weening selfreliance slippery
skin is @, ten to him stumbling block.
But the safest traveller Of all is the
broad bottomed, deliberate square
wa !ker, who marks out for himself q
bee line and follows it without devia-
tioH, through slosh and over pavement
a skin to him is nothing-not even a
whisky skin disturbs he is like the
Trishman's game cock-the Mnscovy
