tended and "panned out" about 81
dollars and 33s cents. s. NJ. Bently,
Esq. and Mrs. Thomas favored the
audience with vocal selections, and
the Programme consisted of variety
calculated to suit all tastes. II "Fox's
Concerts" had little more Fox in
them, in the way of Violin Solos they
would meet with more favor. We
believe however that the object OF the
Concerts are to show the advance made
by his Pupils in the science of music.
The night was very dark and the
musicians were thrown from their
wagon but fortunately escaped serious
injury.
ELLA little daughter of Mr.. Charles

On the Evening of the Primary
meeting the utmost apathy and indif-
ference prevailed, and although Mr..
Updegraff had visited various portions
of this township and had friends using
their influence in his behalf he received
but nine votes. The friends of Col.
Poorman invited all to attend and ex.
press choice, and although the Col.

the Primary meeting. Two of our
most esteemed citizens were elected
Mr.. Smith Hirst, and Mr.. Robert j.

time was given for any one, so desir

delegates TO the County Convention

selected to represent the party.
