1Iodijah PeabOdy's singin. class gave
a public Exhibition last evening at Mil
Ter Hall, to- an: audience OF over 200.
Tie entertainment consisted. Of songs
Of 4ye olden time q Ia, character, tab
leaux, etc.aSW l.avenot the space to
give a detailed report, but suffice it to
say that, with the exception Of: "a few
balks, it moved off smoothly and was:
well received. We must mention,
however, Mr.. C. e. Goodnow and Mrs.
Digelow; they were so we'll disguised
that it was some time: before the audi
ence could decide who they We're. III
while ''Tlle Cuban Expedition'' was
being rendered this reporter hoped that
Old Folks Concerts came only once IN a
hundred years; but when ''Hodunk
Valley" was rendered.. with its accom-
panying tableau, lie was ready to. take
it all back, and wished-he-were-in
-that-tableau.. The singers attempt
ed to play huge joke upon the. audi
ence, but the affair turned out about
an even thing. 1t happened in this
wise: Mr.. Peabody announced that his
class had been induced to sing that pat
riotic song entitled MY Country tits
of Tllee, and requested that the audi
ence. rise and join in the song. When
the first stanza had been sung about
half through the class sat down and
the audience discovered that it had been
singing alone, and so they sat down
too: AS soon as the righteousness of
the scene struck the minds of the peo-
pie they felt sold; but as soon az a few
had time. to collect their wits they arose
and finished the song. -. e.
The entertainment was for the benz
eft of the Presbyterian Church, and
Melted i handsom return. It was con-
Quoted by Dr.. Langdon.
Mr.. Joseph Church; who has been
visiting his brother Erastus, of this
place, started for his home i'll Indian
apolis last Saturday. lie owns two
Touring mills in that city, and while
here investigated the new process flour
quite. extensively. lie was. so we'll
pleased with it that he took car load
home with linn. Minnesota beats the
world on -four, and the Okabena Mills
stand among the best in Minnesota.

Since this is Leap Year, it may he
proper to publish 4 section from all old
law passed in 1856, and which being as
yet unrepealed, is, OF course in full force
and effect. The ladies will do well to
read and learn OF their legally vested
rights in the premises:
''Albeit it has now become a parte of
the Common Law, in regarde to the So
eial relaytions of life, that so often as ev-
erie besextile year dothe return, the lay
dies have the sole privilege during the
time it continueth, of making love unto
the men, which they may doe either by
words or l0okes as unto them seemeth
proper; and moreover no man will be en-
titled to the benefit of the clergy, who
dothe refuse to accepte the offers of a
layd:e, or who dothe in any wise treat
herproposals with slight or contumely. :"
