| THE GRANGE HALL ENTERTAINMENT
| Notwithstanding the dreadful weather the
ladies of the I'd Presbyterian church tooK
in about 5000 at the Grange Hall enter
tainment. Prof. Scharf's reading was, as
! it always is, exceedingly fine. The enter
tainment, Friday night, began with music
| bv the Stonewall Band, which seems ever
ready to assist in every worthy cause, con-
tributing not only it's sweet strains, but
the time and labor of it's members, without
stint and without pay.
A proverb, mo Rose Without Thorns, "
was then presented, as only those fharm-
ing young amateurs can present 1t. Line
principal characters were taken by Messrs.
W. B. Meg, T. S. D-e, and Misses
s. H-n and F. TT.
This was followed by an overture, COM
posed by Kalliwoda, and played by FRO
fessors Ide, Koerber, Rubenstein, Hamer
and Walter, on violin, clarionet, piano and
organ. This might be termed the feature
Of the evening. A good composition rem
dered with skill and exquisite taste, 1t
carried the audience along in state OF
rapturous delight until finished. Then
followed long continued applause, showing
that nothing short of a repetition would
be accepted.
Later in the evening Professors Koerber,
Ide and Walter, with MI. Phillip koerber.
gave a very fine selection from" Bell :
The charade, "Phantom,' was present.
ed with the following cast: Mr.. Debit,
merchant, T. S. D., in capital disguise,
looking the old bald headed merchant to
perfection; Tom Highdon, his clerk.-A.
F. r. was happy in his part; the character
Of Julius, colored servant, was taken by
the accommodating W. B. McC., after ten
minutes notice (the gentleman to whom 1t
had been assigned originally not coming
to time), and the perfection with which he
sustained it, and the disposition, so clear
ly manifested by Julius, to make himself
generally useful, entitle him to the thanks
of his many friends; Mrs. Reeves and her
daughter Ella, were personated by Misses
4. S. and M. c., both Of whom deserve
great credit for their good acting.
A delicious supper, consisting of oysters,
salads, creams, &C., was then spread be-
fore the assembly, composed of the elite Of
the city.
We have been requested 5y the ladies
and gentlemen, who labored so zealously in
getting up this entertainment, to offer
their most sincere thanks to all their
friends, who so kindly aided them by their
services, their loans and their contribu-
tions.

CEASES COMPOUND has acquired really an en-
viable reputation; in fact, it has met with I'M
precedented success. Never has there been
medicine before the people that has given such
universal satisfaction. Those who once use it
will not be without it. All look upon it as q
blessing in time of affection. and children who
can but lisp its name call for it when they are
suffering with aches and pains. They have the
evidence of hundreds of our best citizens who
claim for it as a family medicine that it has no
equal, and we advise all who are. suffering from
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, or aches and pains of
any kind to try it, as it will surely give imme-
date relief. 1t is also highly spoken of by
those who have used it in cases of Bruises,
Spralns. Sore Throat, &c. 1t is home medi-
cine and home enterprise, and worthy the at
tention of those who stand in need of good
family medicine. Reed few of these cert;f
