Prof. c. d. Robinson's readings
was listened to hy a small but appre-
ciative audience. The selections were
extremely good, ana the Professor rem
dered some of them excellcnlly well.
We regret that there was not larger
audience present, and that the general
public taste gives greater encourage
nicnt to entertainments of a lower
grade, rather than to one OF this
highly instructive class. This
is the case however, but We hope to
see suci, Sn Improvement in the future,
so that when the professor comes again
before an Island Pond audience there
will be no spare seats.
Edward Steady, hoy about II
years Of age, met with a very severe
accident on Thursday afternoon. 1t
appears he was helping ais father, and
was working with two iuch chisel,
when by some means (uHkRown to us)
the chisel slipped, and cat his leg, in
fictiag a cash Ihree-foUrths of an inch
deep. 1t was sewn up hyADr. POttle,
and the lad is now progressing favor
ably. lie is q brotker to Henry Stea-
dy who broke his leg some tune back,
but who we are happy to be able TO
state, will shortly be out again. We
sincerely hope that this is the last ac-
cident we shall have to chronicle a.
bout this family.
A very pleasant and successful con-
cert and ball was given at the Town
Hall, last Friday evening, between 40
and so couples being present. The
music was Gy the Coos Quadrille Band,
and was very good. The supper was
served at the Momdnock House, witch
is equivalent to saving thatit was first
class. One young man. beccmin Z
weary, went up in the gallery, with
out saying anything to his gill of lis
Intention. aud, stretching out upon
u settec, went fast asleep. When
the ball broke up, the young lady,
hcing unable to find her escort. ac-
c;pted the attentions OF another fellow,
and went home. Our hero slept on.
and when he awcke the room was dark
and lie was alone in the buiid ng. Fol-
the rest Of the story we refer our read
ers to one of the students at the Aead-

Among the list OF plays to hc produc-
ed here, are the following: East Lynne
Factory Girl. Kathleen Mav0urueen
and Il host Of others too numeroQs to
mention, to end up each evening with
laughable farreJ. We have not the
slightest hesitation in recommending
this company 70 the people of IslanC
Pond, for there is nothing in theil
whole selection of plays to offend thC
most fastidious. Prices to suit thu
times. Go early and avoid the rush
