The people Of Triadelphis and yicinit,
had the pleasure on last Wednesday eve
ming, Jan. 10th, Of listening to one Of th,
finest musical entertainments ever giyer
in this part OF the country. 1twas got
ten up for the benefit OF the NJ. E. Sabbath
School. The persons who took part II
the concert were from the Presbyterian
Churches Of the Forks, Of Wheeling and
West Alexander, Pa, and the Triadel
phia NJ. Z. choir. It was altogether Q
grand success. The house was we'll filed
and to say that the music, both vocal and
instrumental, reflected credit upon the
performers would be saying very little iu
their praise.
After prayer by Rev, NJ. NJ. Marling

menced by an anthem, "Behold Bring
You Good Tidings." It was we'll render.

Misses Pet and Celesta Ferrel. 1t was
very we'll rendered. Next was a quartette
Of male voices, Farewell, Old Cottage

and ]. G. Maxwell. Their reputation as
singers is too well established to
need any further comment. The next

style. She was q little embarrassed at

finished up brilliantly. Next song, "My

forth the frat encore, which was readily
responded 10 by Mr.. Joe playing "old
Folks at Home" on the cornet. Next a
song, "Laugh and Grow Fat" 1t truly
was laughable. There was one Of the
gentlemen in particular that laughed SO
naturally you would not think he was
keeping time to music, but just taking an
old fashioned laugh. Next was vocal

Mrs. Storer and Miss Pet Ferrel. Mrs.
