The Flushing, N. Y, Times, in report
of concert of tho Orphans glee club at
that place, sayO: Mrs. w. N. Oliver, a
soprano, fairly delighted the audience. We
can scarcely r,call an occasion of 80
marked triumph in the history of similar
entertainments in our village. She was
encored and applauded to the echo. Gifted
with a voice of great natural sweetness,
she has added to its powers by the culture
of the schools, and, by the exercise of the
bless ed quality of good sense, she retains
naturalness that always charms. When
she sings again she must net fail to give
notice to her many Flushing friends.
We regret to learn that Mrs. L. B.
Guernsey of Castleton corners met with
fearful accident last Thursday. She fell
from the cellar stars upon a stone floor,
breaking the left hip joint and otherwise
causing severe injuries. Drs. Currier OF
Castleton, Nichols of Hydevillc, and
Woodhouse of Rutland are in attendance
upon her, and we need hardly add that in
an injury of this dangerous character, DR..
Goldsmith our justly eminent surgeon, has
also been consulted. Mrs. G. is seventy
years old, and has taken efficient and ten
der care Of many sick people in her day,
and now, in the hour of her own calamity,
has the cordial sympathy of all who know
her. The most serious results are appre-
hended In her case.
