The diaries OF several farmers, in the
northern part OF the. county, along
Beaver Greek, were visited one might
last week by a lot OF butter thieves,
who were rather unanimous In. their
operations. First hey visited Alex

what he had. then to Mr.. Yoder's,
Mr.. Weaver's, Mr.. Oakes', 10.
Wrights. Mrs. Bishops, aud wound
up with Mr.. Bradley. Tn ey went to
George w. Birds, but fortunately he
was just cut. They passed by Harrel
Smith, because it Is understood he
consumes all his butter himself. They
made q big haul and profitable one.
They received o good lot no doubt,
for our friends in that locality make
excellent butter.

How to Grow Fat.

Just now when SO many fat people are
trying to grow lean, we would suggest that
it would be a good idea for the lean ones to
try and grow fat. To do this keep the
bowels and liver regulated with Motifs
Liver Pills, and your digestion will be
coed and you will grow fat rapidly.

THE SAENGERFEST.
The GALA NIGHT OF THE FESTIVAL.
The House Packed With Five Thousand
PeOpIe-The Audience Held Tn
tranCed Till Midnight-AWheel-
ing Visitors Opinion.

CINCINNATI, June l3.-This was the
gala night of the festival, and the house
was fairly packed, probably five thous-
and people being present An extra
number was inserted and the concert
commenced with the German battlevow
and prayer, which was rendered so ei-
iectivcly last evening, by Mr., Remmertz
and the chorus. The programme was
Schumann's "Das Glucck Won Eden
hall, ," and a portion of it was fairly
given. The grand attraction OF the even
ing was the "Mansoni Requi-
en- written by Verdi, in
honor OF Alessander Mansoni,
and first performed at Milan in 1874.
The solos were sustained by Madame
Alvsleben, Miss Cranch, Mr. Fritsch
and Mr.. Whitney, with a chorus OF
mixed voices. The latter was exceed
inglv good in It's execution and fairly
won hOnors. The duet Kindly, Jesus,
Rccollect Me-" sung by Madame
Alyseben and Miss Cranch, held the
audience spell bound and at its close a
burst of applause, hearty and long con-
tinued, gained repitition Of the
area. ASS whole the execution Of the
entire number was a great credit
10 the soloistS, chorus and orchestra.
Thus iar the SaengerieSt has fully dem
onstrated that the change in Its con-
stitution permitting mixed chorus
was dictated by wisdom, and 1t has been
productive OF great musical successes.
II was nearly midnight when the con-
cert was finished.

BRAVE LITTLE BROTHER.
Two Bright Boys Go Down
Locked in Each others Arms.

PITr>BURGU, June cstclday at-
tcrnOon, between 3 and I O'Clock, a sad
drowning accident occurred at Sewick-
ley. Two young lads, aged about eight
years, the sons OF DIR. Murray and Mr..
George Thomburg, OF that suburb, en-
tered Il skiK and showed of from The
shore amid the ShOutsof a bcvy OF play
mates about their own ages. When
they had reached part OF the stream
some distance from the ferry landing,
one of the boys was seen to iall into the
river. The little boys on shore state
that the moment the boy went over his
brave companion sprang after him, no
doubt thinking that his infantile efforts
would be of some avail. They were
seen to struggle together for a few mo-
ments and then disappear from sight,
locked in each others embrace.
The extreme youth Of the only wit
ncSSes Oithe sad calamity rendered it i'm
possible for them 10 give any assistance,
but the little fellows soon carried the
awful news to the parents ot the drown
eel boys In a short time large force OF
men were engaged in dragging the spot
for the bodies, but up to this writing
their efforts have been unsuccessful, the
task being a hard one on account OF the
muddy condition Of the water, occa-
stoned by the late heavy rains. The
victims were extremely bright and in
tercSting children, and their parents
have the sympathy OF large circle in
their sad bereavement.

GREAT EVENT OF THE WEEK
was the immense street demonstration
of yesterday afternoon. Ii Is estimated
that more people assembled on the
streets Yesterday than at any other time
in the history of the city, and the
Commercial OF yesterday thus puts it:
Cincinnati has never been mOre
stirred with the interest OF great Oeca-
sion in peaceful life than it was yester-
dav. 1t was a gala holiday, in which
nearly half million people participated.
The entire population OF the three
cities, Cincinnati, COvingtOn and New
port, seemed to he out on the streets
Of Cincinnati in the afternoon to wit
ness the great display OF the Saenger-
fest. In addition to these were the tens
OF thousands OF strangers who had been
coming in by every train and boat dur
ing fOrty-eight hours.
"The weatherwas all that could be de
sired. The threat OF rain in the !ore-
noon was not executed, and ClOudiess
sky gracpd the afternoon. The heat was
not intolcrablc, and people could expose
themselves 10 the sun without danger
Along five or six miles OF streets, ON
Main, Vine, Fourth, Seventh, Elm and
others, every available inch OF sitting
and standing seemed 10 be occupied, rs
early as | O'Clock. The crows, that
could be estimated only by hundreds OF
thousands. waited for the great process
sion to come. They, the men, the wo-
men and the children, stood packed like
sardines on the sidewalks, sitting in win
dows, and on door steps, and even on the
CurbS. The city was in its brightest
colors. Many miles OF the house fronts
presented icstOOningut cvcrgreenS, with
the colors OF the flags OF all nations. At
many points the streets were Overhung
with flags and eyergrecnS reaching from
top to top of opposite houses.
Everywhere could be seen the pictures
and names Of composers, and the legends
appropriate. The grandcSt COnCOur,c OF
people on any one stretch OF street was
that on Fourth street. west from Walnut.
On the custom house and at all promi-
nent buildings the display OF waiting
and watching people was Il grand sight
OF itself. But the crowds along the miles
Main. Vine and other streets were con-
tinuOus and great.

next of some of the points OF interest
now attracting the attention OF tine yisl-
tors, as well as the further progress Of
