We have received a note from Sam. Lu-
singer, dated at Cincinnati, March 80, in
which he says: Having severed my con-
nection with the Hyers Sisters Combina-
tion, it Is nay intention to start from this
city with a company of first-class artists,
among whom may be mentioned Madame
Selika, pronounced by the press and Max.
StrakOsch, the finest prima donna of color
in the world, and far superior to the
"Black Swan, who created such furore
a few years back; also, Mr.. Sampson
Williams, baritone of much excellence.
Among the other artists may be mentioned
Prof. Bremen, our pianist, who has estab-
lished IA reputation in this city as first
class performer, will visit your city
about Tuesday, and viii give an enter
tainment a week later. We add the fol
lowing Endorsement of Madame Selika,
from Max. Strakosch:
CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 20, 1877.
I have had the pleasure to hear Madam
Selika sing, at the studio of her master,
Sig. A. Earini, and cheerfully pronounce
her an immense artist. The change from
the chest to medium and head register is
artistic; her breathing and phrasing are
perfect; in short she has received a very
fine cultivation by proper instructions
And now confidently can recommend
her TO accept any engagements that may
be offered to her, and assure her an i'm
mense success. With my best wishes fol
her future, remain,
Respectfully,
MAX, STRAKosCH.

EDS. HERALD:
The friends of Methodism always hail
with joy and delight any advance of their
cause, and in this instance l wish to ad-
wise our well-wishers who have been
watching our clouded horizon at Paint

years, that we are how fairly above the
fog and waves, and are now entering into
our Spring work with buoyant hopes and
strong evidences of success. Our num-
bers are increasing; a deeper work of
Grace is manifested in the membership;
confidence is being established one with
another, and we now hope for grand re-
suits, and Old Paint to take her place in
the front ranks of the Church of Fayette.
So mote it be.
Our Sabbath School was organized
March II, by the election of officers for
the ensuing year, and under the new
regime we anticipate a glorious success
in reclaiming many now away from the
fold. The following are the new cabinet
as elected:
G. NJ. Eichelberger, Supt.; Miss Sarah
Vesey, Asst Supt.; A. Erwin, Secy; AL
bert Hankins, Librarian Elijah Hagler,
Treas. May the latter named have to
empty the chest each SABBATH being
so completely filled-and the good work
go bravely on, is the earnest prayer of

"A
EDS. HERALD: 1t is with feelings of
gratitude and pleasure we record an in
teresting circumstance which occurred at
our residence on the evening of 9th ult.
In accordance with a well concerted plan,
we were taken from home to spend the
afternoon, and not brought back until
80 O'Clock. Upon our return we found
the house lighted in every department,
and well filled with warm-hearted friends,
who had made ample preparations for the
occasion. Before the refreshments were
served, a pleasant incident occurred. a
few of the young gentlemen of our town
had prepared package of silver dollars,
which was presented by Bro. Cherring-
ton with a few appropriate remarks
This exhibition of respect on the part of
the young gentlemen is duly appreciated
and highly esteemed by the recipients
Afterthis presentation Bro. Cherrington
invoked the divine blessing, and all pres
ent partook of the good things prepared
by the kind ladies'. The occasion was one
of unusual Interest and social enjoyment,
and will be retained in pleasant remem-
brance. The amount contributed was
fifty dollars in cash, and twenty-five in
groceries and other articles. Our friends
will please accept our unfeigned thanks
for the kindness, respect and liberality
manifested. May they all be abundantly
rewarded with enduring riches.

Another Narrow Gauge Chapter.
The Springfield Republic, March 2sth
says: By advertisement in this and 9TH
er papers, published at points on the pro-
posed line of road, it will be seen that
books for subscriptions to the capital
stock ($20O, ,OOO) of the Springfield, Troy,
and Piqua Narrow Gauge railroad, will
be opened on Tuesday, April 80, at Piqua,
Troy, New Carlisle and Springfield. In
this city books will be placed at each OF
the National Banks, and in New Carlisle
at the drug store of DR.. B. Neff. This
looks like business, and will soon show
how much stock the people of the West
end of this and center of Miami county
take in the Narrow Gauge, literally
speaking.

The Springfield, st. Paris and Sidney
Narrow Gauge project is losing none O.
the favor with which it was at first re
