"A grand concert will be held ut the
Town Hall on Friday. evening, Aug. ~,
consisting OF yocaland instT0meutsl soIos,
DUETS aud qusrletls, with few choice
Rotations. The price OF admission is only
10 cents. II is hoped that the ball will be
filed, as the objsc. forwliieb the proceeds
will be used 10 worthy one.
The lawn party last week was so
scattered about that we hardly know
where II was held Ice cream, coffee,
cake, etc. was sold at Mrs. Dadman's,
while the music, vocal aud instrumental,
promensding, etc. wac performed at Al
Wests. Several pleasure wagons could
be seen In the streets filed with young
people, and take il all together we should
say they all had u remarkably nice time.
The proceeds would compare fayorably
with proceeding lawn parties, so the
managers report.
The lawn party recently was held at
Maple grove and was largely attended. A
good many strangers and people from out
OF town wore present, lucluding some
young ladies' who are boarding with Mrs.
f. s. Garfield, Mr.. @. G. Hard from New
York, Mr.. p. c. Rogers from Jersey City
and several other young gentlemen from
New York. The evening passed off
very pleasantly. Miss Mary Rogers and
Mrs. f. N. Garfield fsvoring the COM
pany with some very pretty songs. The
proceeds must have been considerable,
the amount we did not learn.
We think the following might inter
est good many OF the readers of the
JOURNAL in this vicinity as it relates TO a
young man who formerly resided here.
