REVIEW OF THE PAsT.-One of the
brightest spots in our record for 1876 was
the advent Of DR.. Schlcy's Family Cough
Syrup, No buncombc this. Many an. nj,
fictcd one has obtained relief from it. We
advise all to stop your coughs noo with
this grand remedy, and all will go as mer-
Irily as Il marriage bell.
IIYMENIAL.-Our foreman, John Lynn,
tell into line last Tuesday evening and took
refuge in the matrimonial ark where he
will hereafter be found proud and happy.
We congratulate both he and the lady in
their new departure and wish for them n
long life of unaloycd happiness. John is
good pressman and, with a new form to
press, we feel satisfied the impressions will
be clear and distinct and free of ,triars and

TIE CONCERT. The second entertain
II cnt of the Mechanicstown Dramatic AS
ISOLATION, which came off on last Saturday
night, like the first was q decided success,
though the weather was very unfavorable.
The programme was rcpletc with fun and
consisted of dialogues, tableaux, singing,
&c. The rendition of the Rival Lodgcrs
by Mcssrs. Miller and Casscll as Box and
Cox, and Miss Herring as Mrs. Bouncer,
was the occasion of much mcrrimcnt. This
was followed Ivy the tabeau, "Clinging to
The Cross" by Miss Withcrow. The anus.
ing sketch of Our Patriotic Citizens IN
their Efforts of Escaping the Draft was well
performed by Mcssrs Carmack, IL Forman,
Marsh, Martin, II Freeze, Whitman, Wac
schc and Root. Next followed II quartet,
"Nil!agc Bells Ivy Misses Sallic Rouzer
and Gils, and Mcssrs Damulh and For
man. After this, was given by request, the
roaring burlcsQuc of the Dress Reform
Convcm ion, which we must say was nob'y

ring, Rouzcr, Stokes, Parish, l.. Cover, Fl
ror Wnhcrow, Martin, Pencil and Mrs.
Wacschc 1t could not have been rendered
better by professionals. The Full Chorus
by Mcssrs. Casscl, Miller, Damuth, For
man, Root, Martin, Wacschc followed and
the cat used in the chorus did her part as
well rs if she had attended every rehearsal
The tablcau of the Outlaws Rancho, was
well received. In the "Widow's Mistake,
the characters were well sustained by Mrs
Waeschc rs the widow, Miss Firor as her
daughter, and Mr. Carmack AS the aspirant
for the daughters hand. We would advise
all widows with young daughters to be
careful after this and find out which one
the man wants, and not jump at concln-
sions too quickly. Miss Withcrow as Faith
Miss Gilds rs Hope, and Miss Parrish as
Charity was the next tablcau and it was
really beautiful. The Thanksgiving Dinner
was also repeated by request and met with
much deserved applause, and liczcliall
was certainly set down peg or two hy
Zcb his country brother. The characters
were pcrsonatcd by Miss Herring and Mr.
Carmack as old lady and gentleman, Miss
Kate Stokes and McssrS Wacsche and A
Forman as their soas and daughters. This
was followed by Duet by Misses Rouzcr
and Gilds. The tablcau Of Woman's Rights
and Mems Wrongs was rather suggestive
We hope it is not & prelude Of what may
occur in after years. The romance of the
war bv Miss Rouzcr as the young anC
wealthy orphan, Miss Parrish as her maidcl
attendant of doubtful age and a. Foreman
rs the soldier lover was II representation
that occurred so mauy times during ON
late civil strife. The tahlcau Of the "Bri
dial Scene" was well sustained by G. +
/ Casscll as parson, Miss Sallic Rouzcr rs tle
bride, Joseph Freeze as the bridegroom
and Miss Gilds and David Martin as aticn
dants The performance was concluded
with the farce "That Rascal Pat" l.. II
Wacschc did his part of Pat as well az &
professional John Miller rs the pennies
lover We pittcl, as we know how it is oul
self DR.. Marsh rs the cruel uncle, was {
sour looking fellow and we would not like
to have many uncles like him even if they
did have lots of the where with. No, sir
Miss Glds rs his niece and Miss Witherow
rs her companion did their parts well
/ The whole thing wound up with a big sci
on the audience. But we were not sold
| Oh, no. We hal Just left. The Eurck;
Band deserve to be complmcnted in thu
highest terms for the sweet music furnished
| by them. but we feel unable to do justice
hence wen throw up the sponge righ
here.
