durin- the day and evening and tAege
was a general appearance Of prosperity
all about the hall. We understand in n
/ confidential way that the fancy tables
were well patronized by the secular
worll 1he concert WAS Well delivered.
Miss Emma Cotton did some excellent
piano plavlnc and the Misses Spragne
. sang very sweetly. Miss Nellie pBrkin-
son sang very iwsetly, az she always
, does. ana the infantry, Lille Swift,
Mamie ellison. Allie George and Annie

HENRY LAWRENCE invited us to take
look through Miss Younss restaurant,
last night. Henry is the major domo
there The dining room is as neat as
snowy table cloths and thorough atten-
ton can make it and the kitchen is as
sweet as Il model dairy. Midway be-
tween the dining room and the kitchen
is n commodious room which will be
transmogritied into private dining
apartment far ladies and gentlemen.
Altogether this is quite such Il nice and
thoroughgoing eating house as Henry
knows how to keep. There will be
oysters and all other delicacies kept
there. as we'll as the substantials.
