more. in speaking Of the Concert recent
ly given in that city by Miss Sue L.
Eidenour, says: Her merits in voice
nre heroic and truthful and challenged
she wonder and admiration Of all who
heard her. Her bird.like voice is as per.
fectly modula;ed as that Of Jenny Lind
In the palmiest days Of her career"
We congratulate the Baltimoreans on
having had the privilege Of listening to
Miss Susie sing. We never heard Jen.
ny Lind, but. do rot think any voice
can send forth swceter, more brd-like
strains than Susie's. A minister once
said it reminded him Of what his magma.
iioS told him was the singing OF the
angels.

citizens Of Taylor county. this State.

zion, until an agreement 1T $1,000 was
reached. This sum was thought by ma
ny to be fair. il not liberal.
