The DELAWARE ORCHESTRA AND BRASS
BAND, from Delaware, n. j., gave concer,
at Williams Hall on Friday evening, they
doubtless did the best they could to deserve
a full house, but parsemonious use OF
printers ink left our people in ignorance as to
their intention, and they were compelled to
go home with pocket books considerably less
plethoric than when they started from home.
But for dance got up after the concert,
they would have been considerably more in
the vocative financially speaking. BY the
way, we would advise country Bands general
ly that Stroudsburg is not what may be
called first rate practicing ground for
green bands. Musical taste here is a good
deal above mediocre, and the two excellent
Bands we have here, discourse sweet sounds
so neatly, tastefuly, and pcasingly that the
common run of music becomes the merest
burlesque when listened to contrastingly, and
will be sure to render a venture here anything
but paying speculation. ''The Delaware
Orchestra and Brass Band" has made this
discovery, and hence we promulgate it now
for the benefit of others of like capacity who
may have thoughts hitherwards.

Old Toby.
LATE OF MOUNTAIN HOME, Pa.

LATE OF MOUNTAIN HOME, PA.
We all knew him, for many a summer night
we've heard him come singing along the street
after ramble down town among his female
acquaintance. He was rather good looking
fellow too, especially in his younger days
Beautiful dark eyes expressive of firm deter
mination had he. Hair that almost matted
itself in curls reaching far down upon his fore
head. But we could not call his neck symme-
trcal but on the other hand, it was perfect
bull neck But like all other created beings
he had temper which alas in his case
brought him to an iguominious death, which is
mourned by his numerous circle of compan-
ions, mostly of the feminine gender, as their
means assures us. Shortly after the election
in November last, he was sentenced to death
by our Judge elect, and after an Imprisonment
of three months was brought ont, moose put
around his neck and in presence of about 40
spectators, composed of the greater number of
school boys was shot down by helper of the
fortunate butcher from East .Stroudsburg. Thus
died our favorite town bull, Toby; and see
by your neighbor's paper, that his flesh was
highly esteemed, and indeed a luxury seldom
INDUCED in. Happy Toby after useful life,
TO gladden. so many hearts and gizzards in
death. Thus will Mountain Home hereafter
know how to dispose of its to,cn bulls 10 advant-
age. BOVINE.

of the J JEFFERsONIAN before the drawing, it is
our only mode of giving the ticket holders
notice of what we propose doing The tick

22d INST, but then the committee will have
no time to make the necessary preparations
50 we have concluded to do the next best
thing. We will give ample notice of the time
as soon as the agents make their reports.
There will positively be no further postpone
ment Of the Concert than is highly necessary.
The prizes are guaranteed, enough money
being already deposited in Bauk to secure al
the gifts. A statement Of this distribution
will be published, and all the gifts promptly
paid in full after the drawing Persons de-
string tickets for this drawing should call on
our agents at once, as delays are dangerous.
Only about one hundred tickets remain un-
sold, and those who come first will be first
served. This is no common lottery scheme
for dishonest purposes. 1t is vouched for by
our most influential citizens. Every ticket

looked after The time of drawing will be
published in next week issue.
The drawing will tie made by blindfolded
children, from two wheels One wheel will
contain the gifts on printed slips in sealed
circular tubes, and the other tags with the
numbers on them corresponding to those on
the 500 tickets. The contents of both wheels
are thoroughly mixed by revolving; the child
at the first wheel will draw a number there
from, then the child at the second wheel will
draw a gift therefrom. and the gift thus
drawn will belong to the number drawn i'm
mediately before it. Thus this process will
continue until all the gifts are drawn. An
official registry Of the gifts as dawn. will be
kept by two Of the most accurate clerks that
can lie secured. COMMITTEE.

in his death. The wind had forced open

stake to hold the door in position, when a
heavy blast opened the door, which struck
him violently on the head, knocking him
down and killing him instantly. Another
report says that his little grandson was
standing beside him, and seeing his grand

heard by Mr.. Lilley's wife, who ran to the
spot and found her husband lying senseless
on the ground. He was picked up and
carried into the house, where he expired
