The excellent choir of the Congregation
al church sang yesterday morning and
evening, with unusually fine effect. The
opening anthem was Mendelsshon mottet,
"Hear my prayer" for soprano, solo and
chorus, as sung by this choir it was as near
perfection as we can well imagine. Mrs.
Metzke rendered the solo beautifully.
The second, however, was particularly
pleasing it contained solos for soprano,
contralto and bass, full justice was done to
each solo by Mrs Mietzke, Miss Eastman
and Col. Walker. The opening anthem
for the evening service was exceedingly
fine, and highly enjoyed. Prof. Mietzke
was in perfect rapport with the choir and
his organ playing remarkably good.
Saturday afternoon, while double team
belonging to J. NJ. Haven was engaged in
drawing coal from car near the old freight
depot, and when crossing the track, some
part of the harness gave away, and but for
the quick movement of tho driver, with
help from parties standing by, the horses
would have strung things, and they did
subsequently, for hardly had the harness
been made whole and before the driver had
taken the relns, the horses took fright from
passing train and carried the driver and
another gentleman, both of whom had hold
of each horses head, to the opposite side of
Evelyn street, where they the ran into a
fence and were brought up standing The
result was demoralzed fence and a
broken pole and wheel, necessitating the
removal of the coal to another wagon.
