ofmen and things in Hartford halfa century
ago were read with so much interest by our
subscribers, q few years since Mr.. Coale
has been for the last two terms a member of
the Virginia Legislature For the informa-
ton of his many friends we can say that he
looks well, and is as devoted rs ever to his
native home, Hartford county, from which he
removed forty-eight years ago. His father
at that time, was publisher of Tie Bond of
Union, in Bel Air.
Prof. Pharazyn, the ventriloquist and
sleight- of-hand performer, exhibited his show
in the Town Hall, Bel Air, on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights of last week.
Many of his feats of magic We're wonderful,
and the audience by the closest obervation
could not perceive how they were done; in
deed, if they had been performed in the dark
ages, he would at once have been accused of
being in league with the devil. His ventril-
oquistic powers are rare and highly amusing.
AS an additional attraction he gave away
each night number Of presents, consisting
OF glass vases, toilet sets, &c.
